3 full months of operations, here're the most common questions we got

Three months in, so we decided to answer the questions we get most!

Thousands of draws, with thousands of earners, and a lot of questions to cover daily, but we are not complaining, we couldn't be more happy! Good questions mean people are paying attention.

Here are the most common one 👇

How do points work?

Every epoch you're staked, you earn 10 points per SOL. Those points build your multiplier over time, starting at 1x and growing up to 5x after about 1.5 years of continuous staking.Your multiplier applies to your raw SOL, giving you an effective stake. The higher the effective stake, the more weight it has in the Epoch Draw and Big Draw.

Example: A staker with 4 SOL and a 5x multiplier has an effective stake of 20 SOL. A new staker with 10 SOL has an effective stake of 10 SOL. The longer-staked wallet is in a the strongest position.

Note: Points only accumulate while you're staked. If you unstake, the clock pauses.

How are winning chances calculated?

It always depends on the draw type, and this is worth understanding because the three draws work very differently.

  • Regular Draw, has equal odds per staker. Every wallet gets one chance regardless of size. Your 2 SOL has the same shot as someone staking 2,000 SOL. This is the most frequent draw we run.
  • Big Draw, draws with square root weighting. Larger stakes have more weight, but the advantage is compressed. A 5,000 SOL wallet no longer has 5,000× the odds of a 1 SOL wallet - it's ~70×. Still an edge, but a real one rather than an insurmountable wall.
  • Epoch Draw, linear weighting based on effective stake. Your raw SOL plus the multiplier from your Tramplin Points. More effective stake, more weight.

How do I increase my chances of winning?

Three simple ways:First, stay staked. Points accumulate over time, and your multiplier grows. A staker who's been here six months has a meaningfully better position than someone who just joined with the same SOL.Second, refer friends. Every 1 SOL your referred stakers have active earnings, you earn 3 points per epoch. More points, a higher multiplier, and a better effective stake, without adding any more SOL yourself.Third, stake more. It doesn't change your Regular Draw odds (everyone gets one ticket), but it does increase your weight in the Epoch Draw and Big Draw.

Stake at least 1 SOL to unlock your referral link. You'll find it in your dashboard, click "Create Referral Link" and sign a transaction to tie your wallet to the link.When someone stakes through your link, they become your referred staker and receive a 2× multiplier on their effective stake for their first deposit, double the weight in draws from day one.You earn 3 points per epoch for every 1 SOL they keep staked. As long as they're staked, you're accumulating.

If I stake today, when can I enter my first draw?

Regular Draw: you're eligible from the next epoch after staking.
Big Draw: you need to be staked for at least 15 epochs (~30 days) to be eligible. The clock starts the day you stake.
Epoch Draw: you're also eligible with the next epoch start

If I unstake now, when do I get my SOL back?

Standard Solana unstaking applies, after you deactivate your stake, there's a cooldown period of roughly one epoch (~2 days) before your SOL is fully available to withdraw.

You initiate the unstake, wait for the epoch to complete, then claim your SOL directly in your wallet. Tramplin isn't involved in this step, it happens at the Solana protocol level.
