# $BANANA Prize Pool
### Overview
Kongium found on Adventure Runs, can be used to redeem part of the Seasonal $BANANA Prize Pool.
The Seasonal $BANANA Prize Pool is distributed and reset every ten days.
The prize pool each season now starts at a fixed amount of **10,000 $BANANA**. This amount steadily grows with the $BANANA spent (in the form of [Kredits](/play/kredits.md)) on [Adventure Runs ](/play/adventure-runs.md)throughout the duration of each season.
### Claiming $BANANA
During the claim process, [Kongium](/play/kongium.md) is burnt in exchange for the player’s portion of the Seasonal $BANANA Prize Pool.
[Kongium](/play/kongium.md) can be accumulated over multiple seasons to redeem a large amount at once, but you must commit all Kongium you have to enter the pool.
Partial [Kongium](/play/kongium.md) cannot be committed, it’s all or nothing.
Be sure to assess whether you need [Kongium](/play/kongium.md) to level up your VX first, and where required use as needed prior to committing towards the Seasonal $BANANA Prize Pool.
The amount of $BANANA a player is able to claim from the Seasonal $BANANA Prize Pool is calculated by:
Taking the amount of [Kongium](/play/kongium.md) they have committed, divided by the total amount of Kongium committed to the pool by all players, then multiplied by the total amount of $BANANA in the pool.
