**Distribution Period**

Rewards are evenly distributed on a per-block basis, meaning that the exact time it takes to disperse your rewards fully may differ from the selected dates due to the network conditions of the blockchain. For a precise schedule, please refer to the block heights after the distribution begins.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Warm-up Periods**

Incentives are distributed with[ warm-up period](https://docs.gnoswap.io/references/warm-up-periods), a distribution mechanism that applies a dynamic multiplier to each staked position based on its total duration staked in range, which is considered when calculating the staking reward. This mechanism is designed to encourage long-term liquidity provision while offering flexibility for those who often need to adjust their price range to remain active due to liquidity concentration.

The undistributed rewards from the warm-up periods are sent to the incentive provider's wallet at the end of the distribution period set by the incentive provider.

Before providing incentives, make sure you check out [the warm-up period](https://docs.gnoswap.io/references/warm-up-periods) page and understand how it works.
