Distribution mechanics:

• Epochs: Revenue accrues in weekly epochs.

• Snapshot set: balances snapshotted at fixed block intervals to minimize wash-trading games around distribution.

• Direct ETH airdrop: At epoch end, a distributor sends ETH to eligible wallets.

• Exclusions: Protocol contracts, burned addresses, and CEX wallets (unless the exchange opts in to per-user passthrough) are excluded or handled via formal whitelisting agreements.

• Distributions are pro-rata, meaning your $ETH rewards scale with your $OPAL balance.

• Stake $OPAL to access protocol rewards. no lockups, un-stake anytime. Staking is designed to align with regulatory best practices.
