# Epoch Reward Pool Mechanics

The total reward pool $$P\_t$$ will be defined in the final Flexonomics (Flex Ecosystem tokenomics). Epoch reward pool is a fraction of the Total reward pool that depends on:

* Total Number of Wallets $$W\_t$$
* Total Number of Active Wallets $$W\_a$$
* Current Epoch Number $$E\_c$$

Halving number $$H$$is floored, defined as $$\left\lfloor \frac{E\_e}{365} \right\rfloor$$

Wallet Index $$W\_i$$ is calculated every epoch as follows:

> $$W\_i = 0$$ at Genesis Epoch
>
> If $$W\_a$$for this epoch > $$W\_a$$ of all previous epochs, $$W\_i$$ increases by 0.01
>
> The cap for $$W\_i$$ is 1

**Pool for an Epoch** $$P\_e = (\frac{W\_i}{2^H})% \text{ of } P\_t$$
