# Cycles, Dark Listed and Supernova

**A cycle in Virgo consists of a predefined number of successfully passed proposals, as determined by the DAO.** Wallets that remain staked for the full duration of a cycle earn the temporary status of *Dark Listed*, making them eligible for exclusive Supernova rewards. Messier Objects are permanently Dark Listed due to their continuous staking status, and all Dark Listed stakes qualify for these special distributions.

**Once a cycle concludes, the Supernova smart contract activates, distributing 13% of all non-ETH treasury tokens—12.13% to Dark Listed wallets in the regular pool and 0.87% to the Messier Objects pool.** It then converts the remaining tokens to ETH, redistributing that ETH as follows: 87% back to the treasury, 12.13% to the regular Dark Listed pool, and 0.87% to the Messier Objects pool. After this, a new proposal cycle begins under the same rules.
