Community Rewards

KimberLite rewards long-term holders and Stakers through the Community Rewards Pool — a sustainable source of $KIMBER token distributions.

Rewards are paid out every 14 days (one epoch). Each epoch distributes 0.42% of the tokens available in the pool at the start of the period. This mechanism is designed to deliver attractive returns while maintaining long-term sustainability.

Qualification

To participate and earn rewards, users must:

  • Hold any amount of $KIMBER continuously for at least 6 months, or

  • Stake any amount of $KIMBER for a minimum of 6 months

Longer lock-up periods and higher Staking Power result in significantly larger rewards.

Rules

  • Stakers qualify for Community Rewards immediately upon staking for a minimum of 6 months. Rewards begin as soon as the tokens are locked — there is no waiting period.

  • Holders must hold their $KIMBER tokens continuously for a minimum of 6 months in the same wallet. Token pooling or splitting across multiple wallets is not allowed.


How Rewards Are Calculated

A users share of each epoch’s rewards depends on their Participation Weight relative to all other participants.

Simplified formula:

PD% = (Ux ÷ Total Weight) × MS

  • PD% = A users percentage of the epoch’s rewards

  • Ux = A users Participation Weight

  • Total Weight = Sum of all users’ participation weights

  • MS = Staking Multiplier (1.0× for Level 0/1, higher for Level 2+)

Participation Weight comes from:

  • Tokens held for 6+ months

  • Staked tokens weighted by lock-up duration (Duration Multiplier M)

Real-World User Examples

Here’s how different staking strategies affect actual rewards:

  • User A stakes 10,000 $KIMBER for 6 months → SP = 10,000 (Level 0) → Receives basic Community Rewards with a 1.0× multiplier.

  • User B stakes 20,000 $KIMBER for 6 months → SP = 20,000 (Level 1) → Receives basic Community Rewards with a 1.0× multiplier.

  • User C stakes 100,000 $KIMBER for 36 months → SP = 300,000 (Level 2) → Qualifies for a 1.2× multiplier on $KIMBER rewards.

  • User D stakes 300,000 $KIMBER for 24 months → SP = 600,000 (Level 3) → Benefits from significantly enhanced returns with a 1.5× multiplier.

These examples show how higher Staking Power and longer commitments translate into meaningfully larger reward shares.


Pool Mechanics & Sustainability

The Community Rewards Pool starts with a large allocation and has a natural half-life of approximately 6.3 years (2,310 days / 165 epochs). This means that, without replenishment, it would take over 6 years to distribute half of its tokens.

Pool decay example (starting with 63,400,000 $KIMBER):

  • Epoch 1: Distributes 266,280 $KIMBER (0.42%)

  • Pool remaining: 63,133,720 $KIMBER

  • Epoch 2: Distributes 265,162 $KIMBER (0.42% of new balance)

Because rewards are taken from the pool itself, it can never fully run out on its own.

Rewards are calculated automatically but must be claimed by the user each epoch.


Long-Term Sustainability – Pool Replenishment

To keep the pool healthy indefinitely, 20% of net profits from eDiamond and eCarat sales are automatically directed back into the Community Rewards Pool.

Practical example:

A user spends 10,000 $KIMBER to purchase an eDiamond. The platform earns a profit of 1,800 $KIMBER. → 360 $KIMBER (20%) is added to the Community Rewards Pool. → The remaining 1,440 $KIMBER supports ecosystem development.

Replenishment only occurs when the pool falls below 75% of its original allocation. Excess tokens above this threshold are moved to the treasury, creating deflationary pressure.

This profit-reinjection model helps balance daily outflows with new inflows, making the rewards program sustainable over the long term.


Minimum Expected Returns

Under reasonable participation assumptions, staking $KIMBER currently provides a minimum APY of approximately 10.98% in the first year (before multipliers).
