# Point seasons
Community rewards run in seasons, and the $BYE ICO runs alongside the first one. Season 0 is the 3-day, pre-launch loading round, concurrent with the ICO from **25 to 28 September 2026**. Seasons 1 through 9 follow once the machine is live, each one gated on price, not a calendar date.
## Season 0: the pre-launch round
* **Duration:** 3 days, closing at TGE.
* **Pool:** 10,000,000 $BYE, allocated 2.5M on day 1, 2.5M on day 2, 5M on day 3.
* **Snapshots:** one per day at 09:00 UTC. Each day's allocation splits pro-rata by points held at that snapshot.
* **Lock:** cards loaded in Season 0 are locked until **TGE + 14 days**: undrawable-by-withdrawal only.
```
pts(d) = V(d) + 0.10 × referral points
reward(w) = Σ Aᵈ × pts(d) / pts_total(d)
```
A wallet's daily points equal its loaded insured value in USDC, plus 10% of whatever points it referred. Load before the first snapshot and hold, and you earn across **all thress** snapshots. Load on day three and you earn in just one. In a representative pool reaching 10k, 25k and 40k cumulative points, a $100 card loaded on day 1 earns roughly **3.8×** what the same card would earn arriving on day 3. A strong, legible reason to load early, while the back-weighted day-3 pool still gives latecomers a real incentive to join.
## Seasons 1-9: price-gated, not scheduled
From v1.1 onward, nine further seasons match to nine builder-token tranches, each minting 7.5M $BYE: half to that season's community pool, half retained by the team. Tranches unlock on 30-day TWAP price milestones, 2x, 4x, 8x and on up to 512x of the ICO price, then vest linearly over 50 days once unlocked.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Points, not promises**
Earning points in a season isn't the same as being owed tokens. A season's pool only mints once its tranche's price milestone is actually reached on a 30-day trailing average. If a milestone is never hit, that season pays nothing.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://bye-fun.gitbook.io/bye.fun-docs/the-token/seasons-the-raise.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
