5. Calculation Inclusion Criteria

There are some practical considerations for recording Staking and LP eligibility that support the viability of the calculations.

5.1 Calculation Period

For the model in its entirety, a calculation period of 8 hours is used, following normal financial market liquidity buckets and time zones.

This allows enough time for a realistic representation of fee distribution across Pools to allocate back the HIDE Allocation and model incentives.

5.2 Inclusion of Stake

The inclusion of tokens in the Staking calculation is subject to the Stake being in place for the whole Calculation Period.

1. Stakes added during the Period will not count.

2. Stakes removed will automatically not qualify since the number is determined at the end of the Period.

Importantly, the actions of adding and removing from Staking are immediate from a liquidity perspective.

5.3 Validity of HIDE Pairs

Similar to Staking, HIDE tokens added to HIDE Pairs are counted for inclusion for their Pool weighting using the same approach whereby:

1. Liquidity added during the Period will not count.

2. Liquidity removed will automatically not qualify since the number is determined at the end of the Period.

Again, adding and removing liquidity is instantaneous, if LPs are unlocked, but calculation inclusion is not.
