# Genesis Epoch

{% hint style="success" %}
The loyalty program will start with a **Genesis Epoch** (Epoch 01).
{% endhint %}

The genesis epoch starts before the token generation event (TGE) of the SYNC token and will keep running until after the TGE is completed (the full launch).

The purpose of the genesis epoch is to bootstrap the early incentive for traders and potentially increase the earning of liquidity providers before the SYNC token is available.

## Details

Totaling **900,000 SYNC** tokens will be allocated for the genesis epoch of the SyncSwap loyalty program.

The genesis epoch will last for **30 days**, starting on **April 10th 15:00 (UTC+1)** and ending on **May 10th 15:00 (UTC+1)**.

* Total rewards - 900,000 SYNC (0.9% of total supply)
* Genesis epoch duration - 30 days
* Start date - April 10th 15:00 (UTC+1)
* End date - May 10th 15:00 (UTC+1)

{% hint style="info" %}
Rewards will be distributed in veSYNC.
{% endhint %}

## Eligible tokens

The genesis epoch will start with a few eligible tokens that have sufficient liquidity, since there are not many tokens available on the zkSync Era mainnet at this moment.

The eligible tokens are

* ETH
* USDC
* USD+
* BUSD (Celer Network)

Considering the available liquidity, recommended pools are

* USDC-ETH Classic
* USDC-USD+ Stable
* USDC-BUSD Stable

## How to participate

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.syncswap.xyz/syncswap/incentives/loyalty-program/genesis-epoch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
