# veBIO Rewards

BIO stakers (veBIO holders) receive allocations of new tokens launched through Ignition Sales. Allocations are distributed pro-rata with no cap and no non-linear scaling.

`Airdrop Allocation = Your veBIO Balance × Airdrop Pool / Total veBIO`

These allocations follow an [rEUL-style](https://docs.euler.finance/EUL/reward-eul/) unlock schedule designed to reward long-term participation while allowing optional early redemption.

**How it works:**

* **At TGE:** Your allocation begins unlocking, with 20% immediately redeemable.
* **Over the next 6 months:** The remaining 80% unlocks linearly.
* **At month 6:** 100% of your allocation is fully vested and redeemable.
* **Claiming early:** You may redeem unlocked tokens at any time, but redeeming before full vesting permanently forfeits all still-locked tokens associated with that specific allocation.
* **Full vesting:** Waiting the full six-month period allows you to claim your entire allocation with no forfeiture.

**Example:**

Suppose Alice receives 300 vested AUBRAI tokens through an Ignition Sale. At TGE, the unlock period for 300 AUBRAI begins.

She has the following options:

* **Immediate redemption:** She can redeem 60 AUBRAI right away (20% of her expected 300 AUBRAI at maturity). However, doing so forfeits the remaining 240 AUBRAI, which will be burned from the total supply.
* **Full vesting:** If she waits the full six-month period, she can redeem the full 300 AUBRAI.
* **Partial redemption:** She can redeem at any point before full maturity and receive a proportional share of the unlocked AUBRAI.
