**Enter the Index Coop PRT explainer competition** Create content explaining ***PRTs***, our new DeFi incentive mechanism Top submissions will win PRTs and INDEX Prize Pool: 200 PRTs & 200 INDEX Read the full details below #hyETHPRTs https://indexcoop.com/blog/explainer-competition
**40 minutes left in Day 1 of the hyETH presale** An increasing # of PRTs will be available for each day of the presale **Deposit now**: http://app.indexcoop.com/presales **Here's how PRT allocations will be distributed** Every 24 hours, a snapshot captures the balance of hyETH held per address A fixed number of PRTs will be assigned to each address in proportion to their balance of hyETH On Day 1, 6.45 PRTs will be distributed amongst presale depositors Each following day, the number of PRTs distributed will increase by 6.45 This results in a total of 3,000 PRTs being distributed over the 30-day presale The increasing number of PRTs daily ensures that large, late depositors can still earn significant PRTs However, early depositors will always earn more than late depositors, holding deposit size constant. There is a fixed total supply of 10,000 PRTs. 3,000 (30%) are distributed to presale participants, while @indexcoop holds 7,000 (70%)
