## E. Au Points Calculation <a href="#d048" id="d048"></a>

We take hourly snapshots to calculate Au points. Check your Au points on the [S1 Landing Page](https://www.asterdex.com/en/stage1/team). There is an hourly cap of 100M Au points per address in Stage 1 (Does not include team boost and ref bonus).

**The formula for calculating Au points is:**

**Au = SUM( holding\_token\_USD\_value \* token\_AU\_multiplier ) \* (team boost + Trader boost) + ref bonus**

* **Au** is the total airdrop points you get from minting and holding assets
* **holding\_token\_USD\_value** refers to the USD investment of your underlying asset. For example, if you stake 0.5 BNB when BNB price is $670, your holding\_token\_USD\_value is 0.5 x 670.
* **token\_AU\_multiplier** is the Au multiplier of the asset. For example, asBNB has a 5x Au multiplier.
* **team boost** is the boost leverage of your team.
* **Trader Boost** is the additional Au boost you earn from trading on Aster Pro mode.&#x20;
* **ref bonus** is the total Au points you have earned from your Tier 1 and 2 referrals.

Scenario:

If you stake 0.5 BNB when BNB price is $670, and asBNB Au multiplier is 5x, your mint earns (0.5 x 670 x 5) = 1,675 Au.&#x20;

If there is no change in BNB price, you will continue earning (0.5 x 670 x 5) Au per hour.

If BNB price later drops to $650, you will earn (0.5 x 650 x 5) Au per hour.
