This guide explains how to qualify, how points are calculated, and how to position yourself for the **highest possible allocation**. * * * 1\. Understanding the Rewards ============================= The airdrop reward pool consists of: * **$500,000 USDC** * **50,000,000 vested $ETHIQ** Rewards are not distributed equally. Your share is determined by the **Solidarity Points** you accumulate throughout the campaign. Your points reflect: * The amount of **ETHIQ you hold** * The amount of **ETHIQ you stake** * The amount of **USDC you donate** * Your consistency across all snapshots The more points you earn, the larger your portion of the reward pool. * * * 2\. How Points Are Calculated ============================= Solidarity Points are generated from three core actions: Action Points per $1 value ETHIQ staked 12 points ETHIQ held at snapshot 6 points USDC donated via [app.ethiq.us](http://app.ethiq.us) 3 points Your points are measured **at every snapshot**, not just once. Consistency strongly increases your final allocation. * * * 3\.
