Reward boosts are mechanisms that recognize commitment and participation. They allow hubs to allocate rewards in a way that reflects long-term belief — not just raw balance.

​
What Reward Boosts Are

Reward boosts:
  • Increase a participant’s share of rewards
  • Are defined by hubs, within protocol limits
  • Apply only during specific reward cycles
Reward boosts are:
  • Not guaranteed
  • Not fixed
  • Subject to change between cycles
They are a way to recognize commitment — not to promise outcomes.

​
Hub Patron Status

Each hub may recognize a Patron — a contributor who demonstrates exceptional commitment. Patron status may be based on:
  • Amount of tokens bound
  • Duration of binding
  • Consistency across reward cycles
A Patron may receive:
  • Increased reward weighting
  • Visible recognition or status
  • Symbolic acknowledgment within the hub
Patron status is hub-defined and may change over time.

​
NFT-Based Boosts

Hubs may optionally offer boosts tied to NFTs. NFT boosts:
  • Act as an additional signal of participation or alignment
  • May increase reward eligibility or weighting
  • Are defined by the hub operator
Important notes:
  • NFTs do not guarantee rewards
  • NFT boosts may apply only to certain cycles
  • NFT requirements may change over time

​
How Boosts Are Applied

Reward boosts:
  • Affect reward distribution logic only
  • Do not change bound balances
  • Do not give hub owners control over user funds
All boosts are enforced by smart contracts.

​
What Boosts Do Not Do

Reward boosts do not:
  • Guarantee rewards
  • Increase or protect token value
  • Affect custody of tokens
  • Override binding rules
Boosts recognize participation — they do not create entitlement.

​
Design Philosophy

Reward boosts are designed to:
  • Encourage long-term participation
  • Recognize belief and consistency
  • Avoid extractive incentive games
The goal is alignment, not acceleration.

​
In Summary

  • Boosts adjust how rewards are shared
  • Patron status recognizes sustained commitment
  • NFTs can act as additional participation signals
