# Prize Pool

The Prize Pool is one of the most exciting features of Heart’s Law, adding a fun, competitive edge to your rewards.

## **How Does the Prize Pool Work?**

**Funding the Pool**

* Heart’s Law contributes **40% of all protocol fees** to the Prize Pool.

**Joining the Leaderboard**

* When you buy 2,000 HLAW or more, you’re automatically entered on the Prize Pool Leaderboard.
* The leaderboard displays the **10 most recent buyers** of 2,000 HLAW in real time, so you can track your position.

**The Countdown Timer**

* The Prize Pool’s first round will have a max **72-hour countdown timer.** Each new qualifying buy adds **15 minutes** to the timer and it can be increased to a max of **72 hrs.**

**Reward Distribution**

* When the countdown timer hits zero, the last 10 buyers on the leaderboard split **20% of the Prize Pool Balance**. The remaining **80% rolls over** to the next round, ensuring the Prize Pool continues to grow over time.

## **What Makes the Prize Pool Special?**

**Dynamic and Engaging**: Unlike traditional rewards, the Prize Pool is interactive and competitive, adding an element of fun to the ecosystem.

**Sustainable Growth**: With 80% of the pool rolling over each round, the Prize Pool continuously grows, making each payout more significant than the last.

**Fair Opportunity**: Every qualifying purchase has a chance to win, making it inclusive for all users.

**Rehypthecation:** The Prize Pool balance is actively utilized to generate additional yield through rehypothecation. A percentage of this external yield is allocated to grow the Prize Pool balance.

## **Example:**

Let’s say the Prize Pool has accumulated 100,000 HLAW tokens.

The last 10 buyers when the timer hits zero will share **20%** of this amount—20,000 tokens split equally (2,000 HLAW tokens each)

The remaining 80,000 HLAW tokens roll into the next round, ensuring the Prize Pool continues to grow.
