Watch this video as an introduction to Yieldly’s No-Loss Prize Game:

Yieldly uses Chainlink VRF as its tamper-proof and auditable source of ‘randomness’ for the selection of winners in the weekly No-loss Prize Game draw. Chainlink’s industry-leading decentralized oracle network creates a transparent, and fraud-proof user experience. Users have an unbiased chance of being selected as the winner of the accrued staking rewards in the pool. Yieldly leverages Chainlink VRF on Ethereum using a custom adapter, since there is currently no on-chain method within Algorand to obtain a truly random number. However, Yieldly has plans to integrate Chainlink VRF directly on Algorand in the future.

YLDY has an initial staking rewards reserve of 3,000,000,000 YLDY.  After each lottery draw, 0.70% of the total amount of YLDY in the staking reserve is sent to the global rewards pool. Every 24 hours you keep your ALGO and YLDY staked, you earn the ability to claim some of the global reward pool. The actual amount a user can claim is dependent on the following six factors: 

1. how many YLDY a user has staked; 
2. how long a user has staked for;
3. the total amount of YLDY other people have staked;
4. how long other users in the pool have staked for;
5. the amount of rewards already claimed in the global rewards pool; and
6. how often people are claiming and restaking tokens.

The following are the exact formulas used for YLDY rewards, which Yieldly derived from the Ampleforth Token Geyser reward. This is a tried and tested method for time based rewards.  The two material differences between the Ampleforth method and the method currently implemented by Yieldly is that: firstly Ampleforth allows for time share per seconds whereas Yieldly is currently limited in TEAL to do timeshare per day; and secondly Ampleforth release rewards more regularly whereas Yieldly does it weekly (Yieldly will work to make rewards more continuous as the tech allows). The three key formulas are:

• Rewards Claimable For User = (User Staking Shares / Global Staking Shares) * Total Reward Unlocked
• Global Staking Shares = ((Current Block Timestamp – Global Time) /Time Period) * Global Amount. 
• User Staking Shares = ((Current Block Timestamp – User Time) /Time Period) * User Amount

Each parameter is defined below:

• Global Staking Shares: Total amount of shares accumulated from all users inside the pool.
• Global Time: Time since the user has either staked, withdrawn or claimed.
• Global Amount: How much everyone in the pool has staked and withdrawn. 
• Total Rewards Unlocked: Claimable YLDY from the lottery and staking pools. 
• User Staking Shares: Each user’s personal staking shares in the pool (requires a full 24 hours passed to update). 
• User Time: Time since the user has either staked, withdrawn or claimed. 
• User Amount: Net amount the user has staked and withdrawn. 

If any of the six factors outlined above changes, then that will have a direct impact upon a user’s claimable rewards. This explains why the claimable rewards fluctuate. For example: As more people stake, more people are earning the ability to claim from the global reward pool. Every 24 hours, the amount of rewards you can claim in the global reward pool will fluctuate as a result. If the TVL increases, as Yieldly has been experiencing, then the amount of rewards you can claim will decrease until the next lottery period is drawn and more rewards are sent to the global rewards pool. If you wait and decide not to claim, you are accumulating a bigger proportion of the global rewards pool. This means that after the next lottery is drawn, and more YLDY is sent to the global rewards pool, you will be able to claim a larger amount of YLDY.

Immediately after each weekly No-Loss Lottery draw.

The weekly No-Loss Prize Game winner has to claim the winnings, similar to how everyone who stakes has to claim their rewards. Once claimed, the transaction will be on the blockchain for all to see.

Check if you won by looking at the previous winners of each No-Loss Prize Game round here. You will be able to claim it in your dashboard on the No-Loss Prize Game site. 

You can check on Algoexplorer and searching for your Algorand wallet address. 

Staking ALGO in the No-Loss Lottery rewards you with both YLDY, and tickets for the next draw, provided that your ALGO will remain staked for 7 days. To learn more, read this blog on Yieldly’s No-Loss Lottery, and this blog on the rewards system.

Yieldly’s weekly No-loss Lottery was developed to prevent last minute entrants from ‘gaming the system’ and taking the prize without actually contributing towards the accrued interest that makes up that prize. From a technical perspective, every lottery ticket acquired has a 7 day accrual period before it is counted in the No-loss Lottery.

Ledger is working on integrating ASA applications. There has already been a developer update made on Ledger's end to support ASA transactions but it is yet to be released to the public (on their end). The moment the update is live and secure, Yieldly will announce integration.

There is a minimum amount of ALGO that needs to be left in your wallet due to opting into assets and smart contracts. You can read more about it here: https://developer.algorand.org/docs/features/asc1/stateful/#minimum-balance-requirement-for-a-smart-contract
