TL;DR

We have taken community feedback to improve how points, badges, and tokens are distributed.
The Problem (Points-Only System): A few top users took most rewards, leaving smaller contributors with little.
Badge System Goal: Assign tiers and apply either multipliers or fixed allocations to reduce skew and reward everyone more fairly.
We propose three models:
- Option A: Rewards scale with your effort using smoothing and tier multipliers.
- Option B: Equal distribution within each tier, ensuring balanced rewards for all.
- Option C: 70% of allocation based on points with 30% reserved for community compensation to balance extreme skewedness
Comparison of Point-Only vs. Option A vs. Option B vs. Option C: See the chart below to understand how we shift from a steep distribution under a points-only model to a more balanced one under Options A or B.

USER RANK	POINTS-ONLY	OPTION A	OPTION B	OPTION C
Top 1%	Extreme high rewards; other users get very little tokens	Allocation is smoothened but multiplier is added to incentivize outperformance	High, but equalized with others in the top tier	High, 75% of allocation based on points
Mid-tier	Insignificant or zero	Meaningful allocation from partial smoothing using power function calculations	Receives same rewards as all in the same tier	Meaningful allocation, 75% based on points with 25% of tokens reserved to balance extreme skewedness
Low-tier	Almost none	Earns small but fair share relative to their contributions	Earns the same as everyone in the same tier	Small but fair allocation, 75% based on points with 25% of tokens reserved to balance extreme skewedness

Dear GRVT Community,

Since our mainnet launch on December 20, 2024, we have seen incredible participation in our ecosystem. Over 20,000 contributors joined us in Epoch 1, which ended on January 31, 2025.

To reward our contributors, we implemented a point-based system across three programs:
