3.1.1. are calculated from the 0.00 UTC the day after you Subscribe (Reward Calculation Day). Daily Rewards will accrue from day to day and will be calculated on the basis of the number of days elapsed. You do not earn any Daily Rewards for the first day that you Subscribe;

3.2. Daily Rewards, and all related calculations, are rounded down to 8 decimal places.
3.3. Binance retains all On-Chain Rewards. This amount may be different from Daily Rewards.

Binance does not guarantee the safety of your Committed Assets or represent that the value of your Committed Assets or the Daily Rewards will increase or maintain their value.
4. Calculation of the Variable Reward Rate

4.2. Binance does not guarantee that you will receive Daily Rewards shown at the time you Subscribe. Any representation concerning possible return at the time you Subscribe (i) is an estimate only and not guaranteed, (ii) is based on the Variable Reward Rate, which may change, and (iii) may be more or less than the On-Chain Rewards.
