Compensation

Compensation Calculation

Compensation will be calculated according to the compensation design described in this forum post.

Please also see section “2(f) Tour de Sol Details” of the TOUR DE SOL PARTICIPATION TERMS for additional compensation details.

Requirements to Receive Rewards

Participants must have signed the Tour de SOL participation agreement, passed KYC/AML , as well as filled out the W-8 BEN or W-9 tax form depending on your residency prior to participating in the Tour.

A participant may participate in any and all stages that begin after they complete registration. The final registrations dates will be announced publicly on a stage-by-stage basis.

Tax Implications

Participants are entering into a service agreement with Solana with discretionary compensation associated with the services. They are not considered to be a full-time employee of the company and therefore Solana is collecting W-9 and W-8 BEN forms in order to support tax reporting obligations, if applicable. Solana recommends participants consult with a tax accountant to understand any potential tax implications.
