We are thrilled to announce that our Season 2 incentive event, with its 8,000 USDC prize pool, successfully concluded on September 1st at 08:00 UTC. Once again, we have witnessed the incredible enthusiasm and growth of our community. We extend our sincere gratitude to every participant.

As we have always promised, a healthy ecosystem depends on safeguarding fairness and authenticity. Following the event's conclusion, we immediately initiated a multi-stage, systematic data audit process to ensure that the final rewards are distributed accurately to every genuine contributor.

Today, we are publicly sharing the entire audit process and its final results with our community.

Our Audit Process

Step 1: Leaderboard Snapshot

At the moment the event ended (Sept 1, 08:00 UTC), we exported a complete snapshot of the leaderboard data to serve as the basis for our audit.

Step 2: Cleansing Invalid Data & Disqualification of Rule Violators

Our anti-cheating team initiated the first round of data cleansing:

• Data generated by multiple accounts operating from a single device or IP address.
• Data exhibiting script-like characteristics (e.g., highly concentrated start times for invited nodes within a 1-minute window).

Step 3: Recalculating Contributions & Preliminary Rankings

After cleansing the invalid data, we recalculated the contribution scores for all participants based on the remaining data to generate a preliminary ranking.

Step 4: Final Review & Results

We conducted a final, in-depth review of the top-ranking users on the preliminary list to identify any additional violations with clear malicious intent.

• Removed a total of 11,476 in fraudulent Impact Score.
• Reclaimed 2928.52USDC (16.26%) in fraudulent prize money.

Behaviors classified as "Rule Violations" included:

• Batch Account Operation: One person controlling a large number of accounts through programmatic means.
• Inauthentic Accounts: Using bulk-registered fake email addresses to create accounts.
• Anomalous Invitation Structure: Invitation graphs that do not conform to logical social network patterns.
• Bot Invites: Invited "friends" who showed no signs of human behavior (e.g., a 0% participation rate in our community tasks among hundreds of invited accounts).

Step 5: Prize Redistribution & The Final Leaderboard

We took the 2928.52 USDC (16.26%) in forfeited prizes from the rules violators and redistributed it proportionally into the main prize pool for all eligible users. After this rigorous process, we arrived at the final, 100% genuine-contribution-based winner list.

We believe that only authenticity holds true value and we extend our warmest congratulations to all the builders who have earned a spot on the final leaderboard! Your persistence and genuine contributions are the bedrock of our network's growth.

Reward Distribution Guidelines

To reward our genuine community contributors as swiftly as possible, we will distribute the prizes in two batches:

1. For users who have already submitted their wallet addresses, we will send out the USDC (Polygon) rewards on September 9th. You will be able to receive the reward in your wallet at that time.
2. For users who have not yet submitted a wallet address, please be sure to bind your winning wallet address by September 15th. We will conduct the second round of distribution on September 16th.

If you still have not submitted a wallet address by the deadline, you will be deemed to have automatically forfeited the reward, and your eligibility will be canceled.

Looking Ahead: From Community Co-building to a Symbiotic Ecosystem

With the successful conclusion of our Season 2 event, our network's node resources are growing stronger every day.

We expect to launch our third incentive event in late September. At that time, we hope to not only see more builders participate but also to enable everyone to take part in generating real commercial value, and in turn, earn even greater rewards and returns.

Our technical team is working at full capacity to develop and test the version 0.0.7 plugin.

We are methodically transforming a decentralized network into a value ecosystem that generates real commercial cash flow. Thank you for witnessing and participating in this great journey with us.
