Campaign Integrity
Renzo reviews campaign participation and retains the right to disqualify wallets that abuse the campaign. This covers splitting funds across multiple wallets to claim more than one wave slot, sybil activity, wash or self-matched activity intended to inflate position counts, and any attempt to collect a bonus without holding a genuine qualifying position.
Disqualification removes the wallet from all waves, including the lottery pool, and forfeits any bonus accrued but not yet paid. Wallets identified as part of the same attempt may be disqualified together.
Renzo may also adjust or end the campaign where a flaw in the mechanics is being exploited. Wallets participating in good faith keep their accrued eligibility if that happens.
FAQs
Q: How do I know which wave I fall into? A: Can access the Public checker here: https://boost.renzofinance.com/
Q: Does the hold period apply individually or generally? A: Individually so your duration begins to count from the time of deposit.
Q: Does a larger deposit move me into an earlier wave? A: No. Entry is first come, first served.
Q: What happens if I close my position before the three or eight week mark? A: The wallet stops qualifying and no bonus is paid.
Q: I am in wave two and I closed at week three. Why did I get nothing? A: The $10 weekly bonus only accrues and is paid out once the eight week period completes.
Q: Can I withdraw part of my position and stay eligible? A: Eligibility depends on the account staying above the $1,000 minimum for the qualifying period.
Q: When is the bonus paid and where does it land? A: Bonuses are paid in USDC to the user's deposit address.
Q: Is the bonus the same as my funding rate yield? A: No. Funding rate yield comes from the Renzo Basis position itself and varies with market conditions. The bonus is a separate top-up.
Q: Do I qualify if my position is split across multiple strategies? A: Yes, as long as your total position meets the $1,000 USDC minimum.
