Rewards and earnings
15. What rewards can I earn from Flash Earn Stake to Earn?
Flash Earn Stake to Earn rewards can include two separate components:
Airdrop rewards: Bonus token rewards distributed according to the campaign rules and your eligible subscription amount.
Applicable base yield: Depending on the subscribed asset, this may be Simple Earn interest, On-chain Earn yield for a liquid staking token (LST), or holding yield for a yield-bearing stablecoin. The applicable APR is shown on the campaign page.
Airdrop rewards and the applicable base yield are calculated separately. Some subscribed assets may not have an applicable base yield, so check the relevant campaign page for the available reward types and APRs.
16. Why is my Simple Earn APR displayed as 0%?
The Simple Earn APR may display as 0% in one of the following three scenarios:
1. The subscribed asset is not supported by Simple Earn: The asset does not generate Simple Earn interest, so the Simple Earn APR is displayed as 0%.
2. The subscribed asset is a liquid staking token (LST): The yield comes from the asset’s underlying on-chain staking mechanism. The applicable On-chain Earn APR is displayed on the campaign page instead of being included in the Simple Earn APR.
3. The subscribed asset is a yield-bearing stablecoin: The yield comes from holding the asset. The applicable holding APR is displayed on the campaign page instead of being included in the Simple Earn APR.
These yields are calculated separately from airdrop rewards. Check the relevant campaign page for the applicable yield type, APR, and campaign rules.
17. When do my Flash Earn Stake to Earn rewards start accruing after I subscribe?
Flash Earn Stake to Earn rewards are calculated in hourly cycles. Your subscription generally becomes eligible from the next complete hourly calculation period after a successful subscription.
For example, if you subscribe at 12:30 PM, your rewards will start accruing for the 1:00 PM–2:00 PM hourly cycle.If you subscribe during a pre-subscription period, airdrop rewards will not begin before the campaign’s official start time. If the subscribed asset supports Simple Earn, you will continue to receive Simple Earn interest during the pre-subscription period.
18. How is my hourly airdrop reward calculated?
Your hourly airdrop reward is calculated using the following formula:Hourly airdrop reward = (Your eligible subscription amount in the previous hour ÷ Total eligible subscription amount of all qualifying users in the previous hour) × Hourly airdrop pool
19. How is the APR shown on the Flash Earn Stake to Earn page calculated?
The estimated total APR shown on the Flash Earn Stake to Earn page can consist of two portions:
1. Airdrop reward APR: Calculated using the previous hour’s reward pool, total qualifying staked amount, reward token price, and staked token price.
2. Applicable base yield APR: For assets supported by Simple Earn, this is the Simple Earn APR. For a liquid staking token (LST) or yield-bearing stablecoin, the page may display the applicable On-chain Earn APR or holding APR instead.Estimated airdrop reward APR = (Previous hour’s reward pool quantity × Reward token price) ÷ (Previous hour’s total qualifying staked amount × Staked token price) × 365 × 24
Estimated total APR shown on the page = Estimated airdrop reward APR + Applicable base yield APRNote: Index prices are used for all price calculations in the airdrop reward APR. The system uses the index price at the end of the relevant hourly cycle. For example, when calculating the airdrop reward APR for the 2:00 PM–3:00 PM cycle, the system uses the index price at 3:00 PM.
The applicable base yield APR is not included in the airdrop reward formula and must be added separately to determine the estimated total APR shown on the page. If the subscribed asset is not supported by Simple Earn and does not have an applicable On-chain Earn APR or holding APR, the base yield portion is 0%.The annual percentage rate is for reference only. The actual rate may vary based on market conditions and final reward distribution.
20. Why haven’t my Flash Earn Stake to Earn rewards arrived yet?
Flash Earn Stake to Earn rewards are settled hourly and generally distributed with a one-hour delay. For example, rewards accrued between 15:00 and 16:00 are normally credited between 16:00 and 17:00.You can claim accumulated rewards manually from the campaign page. If rewards remain unclaimed when the campaign ends, the system will automatically distribute them to your Funding Account within four hours after the campaign closes.If the normal distribution period has passed, check whether the corresponding hour was eligible, whether you redeemed during that hour, and whether the reward is still claimable.
21. Why is my Flash Earn Stake to Earn reward lower than expected?
Your actual reward may differ from the estimated amount because it depends on:
Your eligible subscription amount for each hour;
The total eligible subscription amount of all qualifying users;
The hourly airdrop-pool size;
Your subscription and redemption times;
Changes in the reward-token or subscribed-asset prices.
The displayed APR and estimated rewards are for reference only and are not guaranteed returns. If your actual reward differs from the estimate, check your reward history.
22. How do I check my Flash Earn Stake to Earn holdings and rewards?

24. Can I trade or withdraw my Flash Earn Stake to Earn rewards after they are distributed?
Yes. Distributed rewards are credited to your Funding Account. Once credited, supported reward tokens can be traded or withdrawn, subject to the token’s availability and the applicable OKX trading and withdrawal rules.

Any funds redeemed during an hour will not accrue Simple Earn interest or count toward airdrop rewards for that hour.

Any amount redeemed during an hour will not generate Simple Earn interest or count toward the airdrop reward for that hour.Amounts that remain subscribed can continue to participate according to the campaign rules.
28. Why didn’t I receive rewards for the hour in which I redeemed?
Funds redeemed during an hour are excluded from both Simple Earn interest and airdrop-reward calculations for that hour. Therefore, it is normal for the corresponding hour to show no reward for the redeemed amount.If the missing reward relates to a different hour, check the relevant records as follows:
