Main updates in Startup Participation Rules for VIP Users:
1. For Airdrop projects, after subscription, sufficient balance is not required anymore before token distribution.
2. Users who upgrade to VIP levels by holding assets will have their VIP level verified during token distribution, and the final allocation they receive will be determined by their VIP level at the time of distribution.

Rules for Non-VIP Users Participating in Startup:
1. All non-VIP users with spot assets of no less than $10 can enter the Startup page and claim Startup airdrops for free;
2. After non-VIP users participate in a subscription, whether they win or not will be announced after the subscription ends. Users can check the results in "Subscription History" or on the project subscription page;
3. Non-VIP users are not guaranteed to receive Startup airdrop tokens. Part of lucky non-VIP users will be randomly selected for each project and evenly distributed the airdrop allocation;
4. The total airdrop amount for non-VIP users will vary depending on the project. The number of winners and the airdrop amount are not fixed. Please pay attention to the subscription results;
5. For airdrop projects, sufficient balance is not required anymore before token distribution. The airdropped tokens will be directly distributed to the spot wallet after the subscription ends;
6. Non-VIP users who use Startup vouchers to join the subscription will have their Voucher benefits prioritized. Startup vouchers guarantee a 100% corresponding share, but users still need to hold spot assets of no less than $10.

Note:
1. The previous rule where non-VIP users were guaranteed to receive 3 shares of Startup airdrop has been abolished in this upgrade. After the upgrade, non-VIP users with spot assets of no less than $10 can directly participate and receive airdrops if they win.
2. All existing subscription share rules for VIP users remain unchanged, and they are eligible to receive the airdrop with a 100% guarantee. The higher the VIP level, the more Startup airdrop shares they can subscribe.
3. Non-VIP users participating in Startup subscriptions will follow the partial winning mechanism with a random selection of users winning airdrops for each project. Winners can be repeated across different projects.
4. New rules take effect from 02:00, August 25th UTC.
5. Where any discrepancy arises between the translated versions and the original English version, the English version shall prevail.
