Point Farming
Design Objectives
The point farming system is engineered around the following objectives:
Reward Real Economic Activity Points should be earned through meaningful trading behavior that contributes to liquidity discovery, price formation, and market efficiency.
Discourage Extractive Behavior The system should make wash trading, self-dealing, and sybil attacks economically unattractive.
Favor Long-Term Participation Sustained contribution over time should be rewarded more than short-lived activity spikes.
Remain Orthogonal to Token Economics Points are explicitly separated from the ATX token to prevent premature financialization or regulatory ambiguity.
Eligible Activities
Points are attributed only to activities that result in observable and verifiable outcomes.
Typical point-generating actions include:
successful completion of atomic swap settlements
participation in Telegram-native OTC trades executed through the protocol
engagement in protocol-supported community trading events
verified participation in offline OTC meetups or garage-sale style markets
Attribution and Accounting
Each completed settlement generates an execution record that can be used to attribute points to participating accounts.
Point attribution may consider multiple dimensions, including:
number of completed settlements
notional trade size (normalized to reduce outlier dominance)
referral count
consistency of participation over time
The scoring model is configurable and subject to refinement as usage patterns evolve.
Anti-Gaming Measures
The point system is designed to minimize incentive manipulation.
Safeguards may include:
diminishing returns on repetitive low-value trades
normalization across asset volatility and liquidity classes
exclusion of self-dealing or circular trading patterns
rate limits on point accrual
These controls are applied at the accounting layer and do not affect settlement execution.
Telegram Integration
The Telegram coordination layer acts as a primary interface for point attribution.
Trades structured and settled through Telegram-native workflows are automatically associated with participant accounts for point tracking. The bot assists with coordination and attribution but does not custody funds or execute transactions.
All settlement verification remains on-chain.
Offline Event Participation
Offline events, such as community meetups and garage-sale style OTC markets, are treated as extensions of the same system.
Participation is verified through event-specific mechanisms and mapped to participant accounts. Points are awarded only when trades are ultimately settled through the protocol, ensuring consistency between online and offline activity.
