3. Participation Window (Stake → Max Tokens You Can Commit)
During a participation window, users stake Pi to receive PiPower. All participants stake for the same fixed duration (a standardized launch parameter,e.g. one month).
- PiPower for each participant determines the maximum number of tokens they can commit Pi to buy, given the total amount of tokens provided by the project to the Launchpad.
Baseline PiPower Rule for only the highest tier of the Long-Term Lockers
- Any user with an active Pi lockup of ≥90% of their mined tokens for at least 3 years at the time of a token launch created before February 20, 2026 automatically receives a standardized, platform-defined baseline PiPower $PiPower_{Baseline}$. The time limit was to prevent future accounts created to exploit this baseline PiPower, and to acknowledge Long-Term Lockers with high percentages who may not have enough Pi unlocked to participate in the launchpad. The number for $PiPower_{Baseline}$ will be calibrated.
3.1 PiPower Calculation
\(PiPower_i = T_{available} \times (\frac{StakedPi_i}{\sum StakedPi} + PiPower_{Baseline})\)
- Here, $StakedPi_i$ is the amount of Pi the user $i$ has staked for the launch of the token t.
- $T_{available}$ is the total tokens provided by the project for participants to acquire through the Launchpad.
- PiPower is therefore proportional to a user’s fraction of total staked Pi in the network for accessing the token.
3.2 Engagement Tracking
- During this same participation window, participants’ interactions with the project’s app are scored (Engagement Score).
- At window close, participants are ranked highest-to-lowest based on the Engagement Score; this rank may have an effect on the effective price of the token in the Allocation Period.
