An epoch is one reward round.
creator rewards enter the reward wallet. balances, effective hold, reward weights, estimated shares, and estimated payouts move live.
weights freeze → eligible wallets are ranked → top reward seats are selected → shares are calculated → max wallet cap / min payout rules apply → qualifying SOL is paid → unpaid SOL carries forward.
the epoch becomes permanent public history. all eligible wallets participate; the room is only the top ranking display.
then a new epoch begins.
wallet share = wallet reward weight / total eligible reward weight
wallet payout = wallet share × epoch reward pool
reward seats = top 20 eligible wallets by reward weight
max wallet share = — of the epoch reward pool
capped, below-minimum and unseated SOL = CARRIED FORWARD
