# Sponsorship Rewards

Not every Hunter needs to swing a sword to earn their share of the spoils. Some prefer to let their assets do the heavy lifting or, in the Financier’s words, to “make your money hunt for you.”\
Through **Sponsoring Hunts**, players can lend their NFT Hunters to the Financier to support active combatants in the field, and in return, earn a share of the **Sponsor Rewards Pool**.

#### How Sponsorship Works

When you deposit NFT Hunters with the Financier, your contribution is treated as a *sponsorship stake*. These resources help sustain the Hunt economy - keeping equipment stocked, healers paid and the Financier's fire perpetually ablaze - while giving you a proportional claim on weekly rewards.

You can request to withdraw your NFTs or tokens at any time, but withdrawals are processed at the **end of the current weekly Hunt cycle** to maintain fairness and calculation accuracy.

**Sponsor Values**

Each NFT Hunter carries an intrinsic **sponsor value**, representing their contribution weight within the system:

| NFT Type      | Sponsor Value (MCHY Equivalent) |
| ------------- | ------------------------------- |
| **Villager**  | 2,500 MCHY                      |
| **Mercenary** | 10,000 MCHY                     |
| **Hero**      | 40,000 MCHY                     |

### The Sponsorship Formula

Your share of the **Sponsor Rewards Pool** depends on two factors: **how much you sponsor** and **how long you sponsor it**.

#### Step 1: Calculate Your Sponsor Amount

Each player’s total contribution is the sum of their sponsor value of any sponsored NFT Hunters.

```
Sponsor Amount = Sum of NFT Sponsor Rewards
```

**NFT Sponsor Rewards** are based on the total value of your deposited Hunters (*base sponsor value \* nobility multiplier*).

#### Step 2: Determine Your Weekly Share

Your share of the rewards is proportional to both your **sponsor amount** and the **time (in hours)** your NFTs remain deposited during the weekly Hunt cycle.

Sponsor Pool % Earned = (Player Sponsor Amount x Hours Deposited) / Total Sponsor Hours across all Players

> In simpler terms: \
> The **more** and **longer** you sponsor, the **greater** your share of the weekly distribution.

#### Example Calculation

Let’s assume:

* 500,000 MCHY was spent this week across Donegal and Hunts.
* After 2TG’s development allocation, 225,000 MCHY enters the Hunt Rewards Pool and 225,000 MCHY enters the Sponsor Rewards Pool.
* Total Combined Sponsor Hours for All Players = 5,000,000.
* Your Combined Sponsor Hours for the Week = 50,000.

Your share = (50,000 / 5,000,000) × 225,000 = **2,250 MCHY** reward for the week.

#### Claiming Sponsor Rewards

At the end of each weekly cycle:

* The Financier distributes the accumulated **Sponsor Rewards Pool** among all sponsors.
* Your reward is calculated based on the above formula and credited to your account.
* Rewards can then be claimed directly through the Financier interface, while you admire the fact that he has a fireplace in his tent (fire hazard much?).

***

#### Strategic Notes

* **Diversify your sponsorship:** Lending a mix of Villagers, Mercenaries and Heroes increases stability and flexibility.
* **Patience pays:** Longer staking periods (measured in hours deposited) lead to proportionally greater rewards.
* **Check in weekly:** Claim your MCHY every week so that you can hire Hunters to lend to the Financier if you aren't planning on diving into a Hunt. Compounding wealth never looked this adventurous.
* **Economic synergy:** MCHY spent by Hunters on stamina, re-rolls or items helps grow both the Hunt and Sponsor pools - meaning sponsors directly benefit from a thriving player economy.
