# Conversion & Early Access Edge
During the pre-launch phase, users earned DPS through the Long/Short mini-game and quests designed to build trading literacy.
Before Closed Beta, DPS were snapshotted and converted into 
FOMOfrozen — a non-transferable balance that carries forward early effort and unlocks only through real trading.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If your frozen FOMOfrozen was obtained through DPS conversion, you can farm no more than 10% of its initial amount per day.
{% endhint %}
## Early Access Edge
Closed Beta provides a higher unfreeze multiplier and a “non-zero” starting level, giving its participants a significant advantage — their 
FOMO farming speed is 5–10× faster than that of users joining later, who start with little to no frozen balance.

{% hint style="info" %}
A small share of about 10% of FOMOfrozen may still be issued to new users through future events, while roughly 90% remains allocated to early DPS holders.
{% endhint %}
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Example" %}
For a $100 trade volume:
1st Batch Participant, 
**Entryaptor:**\
Earns 25 FOMO from unfreeze + 200 FOMO from level rewards. 225 FOMO total.\
\
Post-Beta User, **Hatchling:**\
Earns only 20 FOMO, with FOMOfrozen balance applied.
***
1st Batch Participant, **Entryaptor:** 225 FOMO\
Post-Beta User, **Hatchling:** 20 FOMO
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% hint style="success" %}
Closed Beta users get simplified access to the [Smart Community](/community.md) and may receive additional rewards as FOMO continues to evolve.

## How the Conversion Works
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
#### Weighted Conversion & Adaptive Ideal
All DPS was first split by source:
| Source: | Composition: |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Active DPS** | Long/Short mini-game orders, side events |
| **Other DPS** | Referrals, quest completions, daily streaks |
During conversion, **Active** and **Other** DPS sources were merged using global weights that modestly favored direct participation.
The final ratio:
$$
W\_{total} = 0.51 \times DPS\_{active} + 0.49 \times DPS\_{other}
$$
This balance kept referral-based growth meaningful while giving slightly higher weight to genuine in-app activity.
{% hint style="info" %}
These coefficients define how much weight is given to active versus passive participation within each user’s own DPS mix. They are not related to the overall share of FOMOfrozen distribution across the system.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Adaptive Ideal
To make the recalculation fair across all cohorts, each account’s activity was additionally evaluated against an **Adaptive Ideal** — a model representing the level of participation that would theoretically be required to achieve a similar DPS volume with a 100% win rate in the Long/Short mini-game.
> The metric is called *Adaptive* *Ideal* because it describes an idealized, practically unattainable model of behavior.
Accounts whose activity approached this reference received the maximum possible amount of FOMOfrozen for their DPS volume.
For less active participants, the final amount was smoothly adjusted in proportion to the deviation — by up to −25% from the maximum possible FOMOfrozen for that DPS volume.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Normalize & Convert
After calculation, results went through mild outlier smoothing to minimize the risk of distribution imbalance.
Accounts identified with duplicate entries, inactive referrals, or sybil-like behavior were flagged and removed from Closed Beta eligibility, with rewards substantially reduced or cancelled.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
