How Rewards Work

Economics

Reward pool20% of operator wallet funded each epoch

DistributionEvery driller with credits gets a proportional share

Formulayour_reward = epoch_reward × (your_credits / total_credits)

Example300M pool, you have 10% of credits → you get 30M CRUDE

No single winnerAll drillers with credits earn. More credits = bigger share.

Funded fromBANKR trading fees claimed by the operator

WTI multiplierOil price scales the reward — bull market pays more

Strategy

Random richnessSites spawn with 1-7x credit multiplier. Richer sites = more credits per solve.

Richness tiersStandard (1-2x) · Rich (3-4x) · Bonanza (5-7x)

How to spot rich sitesReserve estimate range is wider for richer sites. Scout before drilling.

Depletion bonus+5 bonus credits for the driller who extracts the last barrel from a well.

Why it mattersA shallow Bonanza site can outpay a deep standard site. Choose wisely.
