5.  At what time will the screenshot of the staked SPS be taken for GLX drop?

Answer: Every day at 14:00 UTC, GLS will take a snapshot of the SPS you have staked.  After we process the snapshot, we will drop the corresponding amount of GLX to your account automatically (without you having to claim them).

6.  Will SPS that is being unstaked count for the airdrop?

Answer: No.

7.  Where does the GLX go after the claim?  HIVE engine or in-game account?

Answer:  The tokens will be dropped to your GLS layer 2 HIVE wallet and can be accessed from within the  GLG game.  You will need to log in to your GLG account to see your current balance.

8.  If you have SPS staked, what happens to your GLX if you don’t have a GLS account?

Answer: Your GLX will be delivered to the HIVE wallet you are using to stake SPS; you can create a GLG account anytime to access these tokens.

9.  Will the GLX token show up on the Splinterlands website?

Answer: No, only within your GLG account.

10.  Do I need to verify my email address in GLS to access my GLX tokens?

Answer: Yes, you will need to set up a GLS account to access your tokens.

11. Is the GLX airdrop 1:1 ratio for GLX:SPS?

Answer: No, the amount of GLX airdropped to each account will be proportional to the amount of SPS you have staked to all of the SPS that is currently staked.  There will be 274,000 GLX airdropped every day.  If you have 100,000 SPS staked and the total SPS staked at the time of the airdrop is 10,000,000, you will be able to claim 0.01 of the pool for that day.

12.  How much GLX will be airdropped every day?

Answer: GLS will airdrop 100,000,000 GLX tokens to Splinterlands SPS stakeholders for the first 12 months.  The distribution of the GLX airdrop will be determined by a daily snapshot of all the staked SPS holdings over the year.  During that time, approximately 274,000 GLX tokens are expected to be airdropped to SPS stakeholders daily.
