The image illustrates the post's point about backing amounts (CryptoPunk #3498 shows 20.3048 Ξ backing) affecting the odds of being selected, as lower backing increases probability in the periodic selection process. > > "I don't know if this is fully understood yet or if everyone is aware of it but every 12 hours the backing of the Punks purchased this way gets lowered by 1 Eth, all the way down to 1 Eth, and lower backing means higher odds of getting pulled on FWA.

This visual exemplifies how the contract mechanism described in the post selectively lowers backing on select Punks (like #3498) and reinvests fees into the ecosystem. > > "Another part worth understanding/knowing is how the contract keeps funding the next Punk: 20% of TokenWorks trading fees on $FWA are redirected to buy Punks from PunkStrategy, then, as the backing of each Punk gets lowered, that Eth + the fees the position earns are recycled as" ### Post #3 by @LoroMasnah > **Author:** MASNAH.eth ([@LoroMasnah](https://x.com/LoroMasnah)) > **Metrics:** 43 likes · 8 retweets · 7 comments · 1.5K views > **Posted:** 2026-09-09T14:14:27+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/LoroMasnah/status/2097690098678522272](https://x.com/LoroMasnah/status/2097690098678522272) > **Visual Note:** Pixel art murals of Gorillaz band members painted on a white wall at a taxi stand, with palm trees visible in the background against a blue sky. > > "PUNK AROUND AND FIND OUT CULTURE COLLECTIVE WEEKEND 2026 @W1curates @hiibizaofficial left to rigth @cryptopunks @gmoneyNFT @cryptopunkart @TheStevenWarner @Blondie23LMD @RaoulGMI" ### Post #4 by @artnesh > **Author:** Artnesh ([@artnesh](https://x.com/artnesh)) > **Metrics:** 23 likes · 11 retweets · 5 comments · 1.2K views > **Posted:** 2026-09-09T03:47:08+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/artnesh/status/2097532229425782954](https://x.com/artnesh/status/2097532229425782954) > **Visual Note:** The image displays three progress cards for reward rounds: Round 1 (DONE) showing $2,400 distributed via $NVDA, $TSLA, and $AAPL with $51.22 reclaimed, and Round 2 (DONE) showing $1,600 distributed similarly with $39.33 reclaimed.
