First principles

Rewards readiness: 70/70

First-principles goal: reward behavior that increases index quality and deny rewards for vanity activity.

10/10 Value causality — each earn action maps to measurable index growth or quality.

10/10 Anti-gaming controls — duplicate or low-signal actions cannot farm rewards.

10/10 Redemption utility — redeemed rewards create real operator value, not cosmetic points.

10/10 Unit economics — issuance and redemption costs stay within sustainable bounds.

10/10 Composability — rewards integrate cleanly with listing, portal, and node flows.

10/10 Policy transparency — reward and redemption rules are explicit and auditable.

10/10 Trust preservation — incentives improve discovery quality instead of degrading trust signals.
