Genesis Points
Genesis is HoloNear's founding ledger: a live, public record of who helped bring the network online before mainnet economics are fixed. It rewards participation with points, not a promised payout.
How points accrue
HoloNear uses the same composite behind contribution_score: a compute-dominant score with smaller loyalty and throughput terms. The inputs are deliberately simple and visible:
- Loyalty — attested online presence, counted from live heartbeats and capped per heartbeat so reconnect gaps do not inflate the total.
- Compute — metered GPU-seconds while your node is assigned useful work.
- Throughput — contributed tokens as the serving and account rollups make per-node token attribution available.
The formula is transparent in code, but the docs should not overstate it as final mainnet economics. It is a Genesis ranking and contribution signal while the network calibrates real workloads.
The 2× founding window
The founding window runs for 30 days from coordinator launch. Contribution accrued inside that window is multiplied by 2× when it is recorded, and that bonus is permanent: after the window closes, new contribution accrues normally while the banked founding bonus stays locked into your Genesis Points total.
Founder numbers are separate from points. The first proven account to join receives Founder #1, the next receives Founder #2, and so on. Your Founder #N is assigned by join order, tied to your proven NEAR account, and does not change when you reconnect or add more devices.
Off-chain transparency
The Genesis ledger is maintained by the coordinator and published live at /v1/observability/contributions. The dashboard reads that public view for the Genesis leaderboard, including contribution score, online time, and GPU-seconds.
This ledger is not yet on-chain. It is public, live coordinator state for transparency during Genesis; anchoring or converting it into final mainnet settlement rules is a later step.
How points convert
Genesis Points are intended to be convertible into future rewards, including a share of the model the network produces. The terms will be set at mainnet once economic parameters are calibrated — see Future rewards.
There is no fixed conversion rate, token value, revenue share, or guaranteed payout in Genesis. Treat points as an auditable contribution record until mainnet terms are published.
