Rewards in Sage Protocol are transparently calculated token incentives, granted directly to users for authentic, blockchain-verified social activities. Using the Proof of Social Contribution (PoSC) model, Sage measures, validates, and fairly rewards meaningful user contributions throughout the ecosystem.

​
Key Features of Rewards:

Transparent Reward Calculation

Rewards are transparently calculated based on three clear criteria:

  • Transaction Fees: The USD-equivalent value of the transaction fee paid for the action.
  • Market Price of $TRUST: The real-time market price of $TRUST tokens.
  • Action Weighting: Numeric weights explicitly set by Sage and embedded directly in code.
    (Note: Action weights are currently fixed, with dynamic real-time adjustments planned for future releases.)

Action Weighting Model

  • Every eligible social action—creating content, liking, commenting, forming connections, or engaging in communities—has a predefined numeric weight.
  • Clearly differentiates and incentivizes user activities based on their relative contribution to the ecosystem.

Incremental Engagement Rewards

  • Content creators earn additional rewards from subsequent interactions (likes, shares, comments) on their content.
  • Users who engage with content also earn proportional rewards.
  • Encourages sustained, authentic community involvement and continued engagement.

Minting Rights for $TRUST

  • Users are granted the right to mint exactly the number of $TRUST tokens calculated by the PoSC logic.
  • Tokens are actively claimed and minted by users, aligning rewards directly with genuine economic contributions.

Economic Sustainability and Transparency

  • Rewards are directly linked to measurable economic actions (transaction fees), aligning incentives with genuine user effort.
  • Naturally deters spam and superficial actions, promoting long-term sustainability.
  • Built-in anti-gaming measures (adaptive transaction fee scaling, verifiable user actions) reinforce the integrity of the reward system.
