# Treasury

## Treasury Mechanism Overview

The **Blastex** Treasury mechanism is a unique feature that allows you to contribute any amount of tokens from those available in your account to enjoy additional rewards on these tokens every 5 days, depending on the **Blastex** TVL of the project. This system is similar to providing liquidity on DEXs, where, by contributing liquidity, you're eligible for a % of the rewards proportional to your contribution to the overall liquidity.

## Key Points to Understand

Before participating, there are several critical aspects to consider:

**Irreversible Token Contribution**\
Tokens sent to the Treasury cannot be retrieved.

**Epoch Duration**\
The Treasury features Epochs, and each Epoch lasts for 5 days.

**Token Reduction**\
The amount of your tokens in the Treasury decreases at a rate of 1% to 20% per Epoch.

**Reward Calculation**\
Rewards per Epoch can range from 0.5% to 5% of the total **Blastex** TVL.

**Claiming Rewards**\
You need to claim your rewards once an Epoch ends. You have 5 days to do so before the new Epoch ends.

Unclaimed rewards will be returned to the **Blastex** liquidity pool.

## How It Works

Consider the following example to understand the mechanics:

{% hint style="info" %}
Let's say the Treasury currently holds 900,000 BLASTX tokens. You decide to contribute an additional 100,000 BLASTX tokens, bringing the total in the pool to 1,000,000 BLASTX.\
\
Consequently, your share of the total tokens is 10%.\
\
If the **Blastex** TVL is equivalent to 100 ETH, and the reward % for the current Epoch is set at 1%, then the total reward for this epoch will be 1 ETH. Based on your contribution, your reward would be 0.1 ETH (1 ETH \* 10%).
