About BNB Locked Products
For the calculations of Locked BNB Score, the "30 Days" multiplier will apply to all BNB Locked Products subscriptions with a duration of less than 30 days (e.g., 15 days).
Users will receive different scores for each active subscription based on the subscription period. The longer the duration, the higher the Locked BNB Score. Refer to the BNB Locked Products page for the latest APRs and maximum subscription limits.
Users may receive Megadrop, Launchpool rewards, and HODLer Airdrops at the same time (where applicable). There is no need to redeem BNB Locked Products positions to participate in Launchpools or HODLer Airdrops.
BNB Flexible Products assets will not count toward the Megadrop score calculation.

Frequently Asked Questions on Megadrop and BNB Locked Products
Only users who complete identity verification in eligible jurisdictions may participate in the KernelDAO (KERNEL) Megadrop.
During the BNB Locked Products Snapshot Period, snapshots of users’ BNB Locked Products subscription amounts will be taken multiple times at any point of time each hour to get users’ hourly average subscriptions and calculate users’ Locked BNB Score. Locked BNB Score will be updated on a daily basis.
Each sub-account will not be viewed as an independent account when participating in this Megadrop. Sub-accounts’ subscription amount will be combined with the master account’s standard subscription amount.
Spot Algo Orders will also be enabled for the aforementioned pairs at 2025-04-14 12:00 (UTC).
