Key Points
Leaderboard Reward Pool: 5,200 → 15,000 AXS, shifting AXS from the general reward pool. Total AXS stays the same, but more rewards are now focused on leaderboard performance.
Leaderboard Eligibility: Top 1,000 → 3,000 players, allowing a much wider group of consistently active contributors to earn leaderboard rewards.
General Reward Pool: 16,000 → 7,000 AXS, distributed proportionally among the Top 3,000 players. More details below.
Lunacians, we are concentrating AXS where the competition is fiercest and commitment runs deepest. On Monday, we’re rolling out an important Bounty Board update that rebalances AXS rewards toward the leaderboard, expands who can earn from it, and sharpens incentives for consistent contribution. Here’s what’s happening:
The leaderboard reward pool will increase from 5,200 → 15,000 AXS, nearly tripling the previous allocation. At the same time, the leaderboard will expand from the Top 1,000 → 3,000 players, significantly increasing the number of Lunacians who can earn fixed leaderboard rewards. This makes climbing the leaderboard more rewarding at every level, while preserving the value of finishing at the top.
Along with the expanded leaderboard, the Bounty Board reward pools have been rebalanced as follows:
Leaderboard pool: 5,200 → 15,000 AXS
General reward pool: 16,800 → 7,000 AXS
Master Quest pool: remains unchanged at 5,000 AXS
The total AXS distributed remains 27,000 AXS. This is a redistribution, not an increase. In addition to fixed leaderboard distribution, the 7,000 AXS from the general reward pool will now be distributed proportionally among the Top 3,000 players based on earned points.
Here’s the formula:
(Individual User’s Earned Points ÷ Total Earned Points of Top 3,000) × 7,000 AXS
This ensures rewards flow to real contributors who are actively playing, with every point earned directly impacting final rewards. Consistent participation is now rewarded, even beyond the top ranks. More players earn. More effort is recognized.
The Bounty Board is designed to reward players who show up consistently, contribute meaningfully, and push the ecosystem forward. As our ranks have grown, it became clear that the leaderboard needed more weight, not just at the very top, but across a broader range of ranks where most competitive activity actually happens.
This update rebalances incentives by moving AXS from the general reward pool into the leaderboard, strengthening competition while keeping total AXS distribution unchanged. The result is a system that better reflects effort over time and creates clearer progression for players pushing their limits week after week.
The update goes live Monday. If you’ve been climbing, this change is for you.
