key points
-
Leaderboard Reward Pool: 5,200 → 15,000 AXS, moving AXS from the regular reward pool. Total AXS will remain the same, but rewards will now be more focused on leaderboard performance.
-
Leaderboard Eligibility: Top 1,000 → 3,000 players. A much broader group of consistently active contributors can earn leaderboard rewards.
-
General Rewards Pool: 16,000 → 7,000 AXS, distributed proportionally to the top 3,000 players. See below for more details.
Dear Lunacians, We are focusing on AXS, where we have the most competition and deepest commitment. On Monday, we’ll be releasing a significant Bounty Board update that will rebalance AXS rewards on the leaderboard, expand who can benefit from them, and strengthen incentives for ongoing contributions. The current situation is as follows:
The leaderboard reward pool will increase from 5,200 → 15,000 AXS, almost tripling the previous allocation. At the same time, the leaderboard will expand from the top 1,000 to 3,000, significantly increasing the number of Lunasians who can earn fixed leaderboard rewards. This makes it more rewarding to climb the leaderboard at every level while maintaining the value of reaching the top.
Along with expanded leaderboards, the Bounty Board reward pool has been rebalanced as follows:
-
Leaderboard Pool: 5,200 → 15,000AXS
-
General Rewards Pool: 16,800 → 7,000AXS
-
Master Quest Pool: No change from 5,000 AXS.
The total AXS distributed remains at 27,000 AXS. This is redistribution, not increase. In addition to the fixed leaderboard distribution, 7,000 AXS from the regular rewards pool will now be distributed proportionally to the top 3,000 players based on points earned.
The formula is:
(Individual User’s Earned Points ÷ Total Earned Points of Top 3,000) × 7,000 AXSThis ensures that rewards are delivered to real contributors who actively play and that every point earned has a direct impact on the final reward. Continued participation is now rewarded even beyond the top ranks. More players earn money. More effort is appreciated.
The Bounty Board is designed to reward players who consistently engage, contribute meaningfully, and drive the ecosystem forward. As we moved up the ranks, it became clear that leaderboards needed more weight, not just at the top, but across the wider range of ranks where most of the competitive action actually takes place.
This update moves AXS from the general rewards pool to the leaderboard, rebalancing incentives and increasing competition without changing total AXS distribution. The result is a system that better reflects effort over time and creates clearer progress for players who push their limits each week.
Updates will take place on Mondays. If you’ve been climbing, this change is for you.
