Dynamic Airdrop Conversion 3.0 : First seasonal incentive model
Dynamic Airdrop Conversion is the conversion mechanism between River Pts and $RIVER.
Conversion 3.0 is the first seasonal incentives model from River that balances contributions and sustains token distribution through recurring Seasons. It changes airdrops from a single distribution to a structure that runs every Season.
Conversion 1.0 introduced the first time-encoded tokenomics, aligning rewards with long-term contributors. Conversion 2.0 added the integral curve, daily cap, and half-life recovery.
The 180-day curve closed on April 22, 2026, with 650M River Pts converted across 2 Seasons. Conversion 3.0 is now live.
The conversion rate moves with real-time activity within each Season, and users can convert in one or multiple transactions across an open Season. River Pts themselves are standard ERC-20 tokens, they can be traded, transferred, or staked across the River ecosystem.

Full mechanism details
Mechanism
A total of 1 billion River Pts correspond to up to 30 million $RIVER, covering the Community Airdrop + Community Reserve allocation (≈ 30 % of total supply).
Total River Points
1,000,000,000
Maximum Convertible $RIVER
30,000,000 (≈ 30 % of total supply)
Conversion Cycle
Recurring quarterly Seasons
Conversion Chain
BNB Chain
Mechanism Type
Seasonal, dynamic conversion with integral pricing
Staking Epochs
8 options, from 3 to 24 months
Mode
Convert anytime within an open Season, in one or multiple batches
Distribution runs across recurring Seasons rather than a single window. Each Season's actual conversion outcomes determine how much $RIVER is released in that cycle.
Supply not converted in a given Season carries forward, sustaining distribution across future Seasons.
The 30 % allocation acts as a long-term ceiling, released Season by Season as the network grows.

How does it work
Suppose you hold 10,000 River Pts.
Each Season is set with a constant ideal rate. The S5 ideal rate is 0.01, meaning 10,000 River Pts produce a base output of 100 Staked RIVER at the ideal rate.
The actual rate at execution depends on the conversion activity at that moment and the staking epoch (3 to 24 months) you select. Conversion activity follows the integral pricing model from 2.0. Denser participation compresses the rate, quieter periods recover it.
Example : 10k River Pts / 3 months
Three participants each convert 10,000 River Pts during the same Season on the same staking epoch. They convert on Day 10, Day 60, and Day 90.
The actual rate at execution moves with conversion density. Participant A converts on Day 10 at 0.007. By Day 60, activity thins out and the rate recovers, so Participant B converts at 0.009.
By Day 90, conversion density compresses it back down, so Participant C converts at 0.005.
Same input, three different rates, three different amounts of Staked RIVER. The Staked Until date stays the same for all three, anchored to the Season boundary.

The pattern across both tables shows the central trade-off in Conversion 3.0. Rate at execution is shaped by collective activity, and that variation flows through to Receive at every staking epoch.
Output scales by staking epoch, with longer epochs retaining a larger share and applying a higher voting power multiplier. Unlock timing is Season-anchored, determined by Season boundary and staking epoch, not by individual conversion timing.

Every Staked Until date anchors to a Season boundary. Voting power stays active across the entire Staked Until period. A 24-month staking epoch produces both the largest received amount and the longest active governance participation.
How to Earn River Pts
River Pts are awarded based on real activity across the River ecosystem. They reflect contributions in DeFi, social engagement, and staking, and accrue across Seasons.
They reflect contributions in DeFi, social engagement, and staking. (S5 Airdrop)
Omni-CDP / satUSD / Vaults: add liquidity (e.g. satUSD/USDT), stake in Smart Vault or Prime Vault, hold YT. Actions include multipliers (2× to 25×).
River4FUN / Social Engagement: connect your X account, post content, participate in campaigns — your engagement is converted into Pts.
Staked RIVER : Staking $RIVER is how you accumulate River Pts, gain voting power, and participate in River governance.
