# Competition and Arrival

#### Description

Competition refers to the arrival order of a hex. The first Data Collecting machine to enter and generate information from a hex wins the Stream Payment.\
\
The second Data Collecting Machine that arrives to the hex will earn 1/10 of the previous reward. This will go on depending on the number of Data Collecting Machines that arrive in the hex during the same stream.\
\
**Note**: Arrival order applies only to same Data Collecting Machine type.

After 1 stream (10 minutes), all hexes restart.\
When a hex restarts and 2 or more Data Collecting Machines (of the same type) are in the same hex, the order will be determined by the last hierarchical arrival order.

## New Considerations

Daily Token Unlock: 19,393.94\
Reward per Stream: 0.0897867564

#### New Streams per Day

Streams without competition (demand): 240,000\
Streams with competition (supply): 216,000\
\
24,000 less streams\
Percentage decrease: 10% (due to competition implementation)

#### New Data Collecting Machine amount

If every Data Collecting Machine continue to work for 48 streams, then the supply will decease.
