What is Crypto.com Supercharger and how does it work?

Crypto.com Supercharger is a flexible, no-lockup rewards platform available on the Crypto.com Exchange and in certain regions via the Crypto.com App, subject to jurisdiction and product availability. 

Users deposit eligible tokens into a pooled event during a ‘Charging Period’ and earn a share of a reward token during the later ‘Reward Period’.

What is Crypto.com Supercharger?

Supercharger is a rewards platform inside both the Crypto.com App and the Crypto.com Exchange. You deposit eligible tokens – CRO, CDCSOL or LCRO (and in some campaigns, CDCETH) – into a pooled Supercharger event, depending on what each event supports. 

Each event has:

• A ‘Charging Period’ (when you can deposit, top up or withdraw at any time).
• A ‘Reward Period’ (when daily payouts of the reward token are distributed).

The core idea is simple: Your share of the reward pool depends on your time-weighted allocation relative to the total pool. There’s no fixed yield and returns vary depending on how many people participate and how long they stay allocated.

Supercharger events generally fall into two broad patterns:

• Events that reward Cronos ecosystem tokens (often funded by CRO deposits).
• Events that reward major or trending cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH or XRP.

Each allocation token has its own pool within an event. For example:

• CRO for BTC
  
• CDCETH for BTC
• CDCSOL for BTC
• LCRO for BTC

You’re able to join multiple pools within the same event, as long as they meet token-specific minimums.

How Supercharger works (step by step)

Supercharger operates on a three-stage cycle: Charging → Accept → Rewards. Here is the flow in detail.

1. Deposit during the ‘Charging Period’

The ‘Charging Period’ is when users can freely interact with the pool. 

• You can deposit, top up, partial withdraw or full withdraw anytime.
• Deposits are recorded hourly to calculate your average allocation.
• Adding or removing tokens affects your ‘Reward Score’, which determines your final share.

Unlike fixed-term products, there’s no lockup – leaving early doesn’t incur penalties, but it lowers your time-weighted allocation.

Each Supercharger event has its own minimums. There’s no maximum allocation limit.

2. Accept rewards during the ‘Reward Acceptance’ period

Once the ‘Charging Period’ ends:

• Users receive a notification to ‘Accept Reward’ inside the App or Exchange.
• This step is mandatory. Failing to accept means forfeiting rewards for that event.
• Acceptance happens once per event; after that, distributions run automatically.

This phase is short, so users must accept promptly.

3. Earn daily rewards during the ‘Reward Period’

After acceptance, the ‘Reward Period’ begins:

• Rewards are distributed daily and evenly over the entire ‘Reward Period’*.
• App payouts go to the Crypto Wallet in the App. Exchange payouts go to the Exchange Crypto Wallet.
• Rewards appear as the reward token defined for the event.
• The amount you receive corresponds to your ‘Reward Score’ (your share of the pool).

If your effective participation is very small, you may fall below the event’s distribution threshold, meaning you won’t receive rewards for that event.

* The total token reward pool for each event is set and disclosed by Crypto.com before the event begins and users can view it in the event details on the App or Exchange. Rewards are distributed pro-rata, based on each participant’s average share of the pool during the ‘Charging Period’. 

Rewards shown to users are net of any applicable fees. Distribution occurs gradually over the entire ‘Reward Period’ (e.g., daily or hourly depending on the event structure) and participants can claim rewards as they are released.

4. (Optional) Auto-roll to the next event

For those who keep their allocation in the pool after the ‘Charging Period’ ends, Supercharger can auto-roll their deposit into the next event of the same track (e.g., CRO pool for the next BTC event).

Auto-roll behaviour depends on:

• Whether the next event supports the same allocation token.
• Whether the user leaves funds in the pool after charging ends.
• Platform-specific mechanics (App vs Exchange).

Auto-roll doesn’t guarantee a reward. It simply keeps the deposit active for the next ‘Charging Period’.

Always refer to the latest in-app or help center restrictions for your region, as restrictions are subject to change.

Understanding Reward Score: How your share is calculated

Supercharger uses a transparent, data-based formula to determine how much of the reward pool each participant receives. It’s not based on the size of your final deposit at the end of the Charging Period; it’s based on how much you allocated and for how long.

This is called your ‘Reward Score’.

Reward Score formula

Supercharger calculates every participant’s score using:

Two things matter:

1. Your average allocation
   
2. • Based on hourly snapshots of how much you have deposited during the ‘Charging Period’.
   • Larger allocations and earlier deposits contribute more.
2. The average size of the entire pool
3. • Your score is relative to everyone else.
   • Even a large allocation can be diluted if the total pool grows significantly.

The ‘Reward Score’ is ultimately a percentage share.

A score of 0.015%, for example, means you receive 0.015% of the total reward tokens distributed during the ‘Reward Period’.

A practical example

A common mistake is assuming ‘depositing at the last minute’ boosts outcomes. In reality, time is a major multiplier; the earlier you join the ‘Charging Period’, the stronger your ‘Reward Score’.

Event types: Cronos events vs standard events

Supercharger runs two types of events, each with its own purpose.

1. Standard events

These are the most common. Participants allocate supported tokens and receive rewards in a crypto asset featured for the event, typically BTC, ETH or another high-profile token the community is watching.

The allocation tokens in these events may vary (e.g., CRO, CDCETH, CDCSOL, LCRO) and each has its own reward pool.

Standard events are designed to give users flexible access to rewards in widely traded cryptocurrencies.

2. Cronos events

Cronos events are tailored to the Cronos ecosystem. Users allocate CRO to earn emerging or established tokens building on the Cronos chain.

This helps users gain exposure to Cronos-based projects, with the same no-lockup structure that Supercharger is known for.

Crypto Supercharger: Minimum allocation, thresholds, limits, fees

One of the defining features of Supercharger is that there is no maximum allocation limit. Participants can deposit as much as they like. 

However, there are clear minimums and thresholds. Each Supercharger event sets its own minimums. For example, a recent campaign used:

• App: 100 CRO, around 0.004 CDCETH, 0.05 CDCSOL, 100 LCRO
• Exchange: 100 CRO, 0.005 CDCSOL, 100 LCRO

Always check the event details for the latest minimums as they may vary between campaigns.

Deposits below thresholds will not be accepted into the pool.

Reward distribution thresholds

Supercharger also applies a minimum threshold for receiving rewards. If your ‘Reward Score’ is extremely small relative to the total pool, you may fall below the campaign’s internal distribution threshold and receive no rewards. The precise cut-off is not described in detail in public documentation and may vary by event.

No maximum allocation

Unlike some Earn or promotional programmes, Supercharger doesn’t impose caps on how much you can deposit.

You can allocate as much as you wish, though your share of rewards is still determined by the relative ‘Reward Score’.

Fees

Crypto.com does not charge extra fees for allocating or withdrawing CRO, CDCETH, CDCSOL or LCRO within a Supercharger pool on the App or Exchange. Regular platform and network fees still apply if you later withdraw those tokens off-platform or move them on-chain.

From a tax perspective, Supercharger rewards may be treated as taxable in some jurisdictions. Crypto.com does not provide tax advice and you are responsible for keeping appropriate records and consulting a qualified tax professional if needed. 

Withdrawals during the Charging Period

One of Supercharger’s biggest conveniences is that users are never locked in during the ‘Charging Period’.

You may:

• Withdraw partially
• Withdraw fully
• Deposit more tokens
• Deposit multiple times

All such actions immediately affect your time-weighted average allocation and therefore your ‘Reward Score’.

Mechanisms (App and Exchange):

App:

Exchange:

There is a short freeze period right after the ‘Charging Period’ ends when withdrawals are temporarily paused while final ‘Reward Scores’ are calculated.

Supercharger vs Crypto Earn vs staking Comparison

How rewards work in Supercharger

Supercharger rewards are distributed only after three conditions are satisfied:

1. You participated during the ‘Charging Period’.
2. You accepted your reward allocation.
3. You met the pool’s minimum distribution threshold.

Rewards are then sent daily over the duration of the ‘Reward Period’.

Reward distribution 

Once you accept:

• App users receive distributions into the Crypto Wallet in the App, Exchange users receive distributions into their Exchange Crypto Wallet.
• Distribution is daily and even over the entire ‘Reward Period’.
• The amount depends entirely on your ‘Reward Score’.
• The reward arrives in the event’s reward token, not in your deposited token.

No compounding occurs unless you manually reallocate.

The reward acceptance period

After the ‘Charging Period’ ends and before the ‘Reward Period’ begins, you’ll have to complete an important step: accept your rewards.

The platform sends:

• In-app alerts (App Supercharger)
• Email notifications (Exchange Supercharger)

You must open the event and tap ‘Accept Reward’.

This design ensures only active participants receive payouts.

The ‘Acceptance Period’ is short – often just one day – so users should check notifications after each ‘Charging Period’ concludes.

Tips to maximise rewards on Crypto Supercharger

1. Understand that time matters, not just size

‘Reward Score’ is based on average allocation over time. Deposits made earlier in the ‘Charging Period’ contribute more weighting than last-minute allocations, all else equal.

2. Monitor campaigns regularly

Each Supercharger event has its own ‘Charging’ and ‘Reward Periods’, reward token and token pools. Checking the Supercharger section in the App or Exchange helps users stay aware of new campaigns they may be eligible for.

3. Keep notifications turned on

Because rewards must be accepted during a defined window, in-app and email notifications are important. Missing the ‘Reward Acceptance Period’ means missing all rewards for that event, even if you participated throughout.

4. Use both App and Exchange where eligible

Those who have verified accounts on both the Crypto.com App and Crypto.com Exchange (and are in supported jurisdictions) can access Supercharger on both platforms. This gives more flexibility in ways to allocate CRO, CDCETH, CDCSOL or LCRO across different event types.

Join the next Supercharger event

1. Open the Crypto.com App or Exchange
   Head to the Supercharger tab to see the latest campaigns and reward tokens.
2. Review the event details
   Check the ‘Charging Period’, supported allocation tokens and other mechanics.
3. Deposit your chosen token
   Add CRO, CDCETH, CDCSOL or LCRO to the pool at any time during the ‘Charging Period’.
4. Accept and track your rewards
   When the ‘Charging Period’ ends, accept your reward allocation and follow your daily distributions.

FAQs about Crypto.com Supercharger

Is Supercharger the same as staking?

No. Supercharger is not on-chain staking, doesn’t involve validator participation and does not offer protocol-based yields. It is a campaign-driven rewards platform where users deposit supported tokens during a ‘Charging Period’ and receive a share of the reward token based on their relative participation.

What determines how much I earn?

Your rewards depend on your ‘Reward Score’, which measures how much you deposited and how long you kept those tokens in the pool relative to the total pool size. Larger allocations and earlier deposits contribute more, but outcomes always depend on overall participation in the event.

When do I start receiving rewards?

Rewards begin only after you accept them during the ‘Reward Acceptance Period’. Once accepted, rewards are paid daily throughout the ‘Reward Period’ into your App Crypto Wallet or Exchange Crypto Wallet, depending on the platform you used.

What happens if I forget to accept rewards?

If you don’t accept your rewards during the designated ‘Acceptance Period’, your entire reward share for that event is forfeited. Accepting is mandatory and must be done before the ‘Reward Period’ begins.

Can I withdraw my tokens at any time?

Withdrawals are allowed anytime during the ‘Charging Period’, either partially or in full. Withdrawals reduce your time-weighted participation and will lower your ‘Reward Score’. Once the ‘Charging Period’ ends, withdrawals may be temporarily paused while scores are calculated.

Are my tokens locked at any stage?

Supercharger doesn’t impose long-term lockups. You can withdraw anytime during the ‘Charging Period’. After the ‘Charging Period’ ends, withdrawals are temporarily paused while ‘Reward Scores’ are calculated, then become available again. There’s no additional fixed-term lock for the duration of the event.

Does Supercharger guarantee any kind of yield or return?

No. Supercharger rewards aren’t fixed nor guaranteed. They depend on the relative size of the pool and user participation. The event’s reward token is distributed proportionally; outcomes vary from event to event.

Can I participate in multiple pools within the same event?

Yes. If an event supports multiple allocation tokens (e.g., CRO, CDCETH, CDCSOL, LCRO), each token has its own pool. You can participate in more than one pool, as long as they meet each token’s minimum allocation.

Are there minimum or maximum deposit amounts?

Yes. Each token has a minimum allocation amount (e.g., 100 CRO, 0.004 CDCETH, etc.). There’s no maximum limit; you can deposit as much as they wish. However, participation must exceed the event’s internal distribution threshold to receive rewards.

Why did I receive fewer rewards than expected?

Several factors can influence the amount received:

• Joining late in the ‘Charging Period’.
• Withdrawing during the ‘Charging Period’.
• A sharp increase in total pool size (which reduces your relative share).
• Falling below the distribution threshold.
• Forgetting to accept rewards before the deadline.

Supercharger uses a time-weighted model, so timing and relative pool size matter.

Are Supercharger rewards taxable?

Depending on your jurisdiction, rewards may be treated as taxable income when received. You are responsible for keeping records of allocations, withdrawals and reward distributions and for consulting a qualified tax professional for guidance.

Can institutional accounts join Supercharger?

Institutional accounts can’t participate in Supercharger on the Crypto.com Exchange. Supercharger is limited to verified retail users and availability varies by region.

What types of tokens are used for deposits and rewards?

Deposits are made in supported allocation tokens such as CRO, CDCETH, CDCSOL or LCRO, depending on the region and platform. Rewards are distributed in the event’s reward token, which may be BTC, a major crypto asset or a Cronos ecosystem token.
