Make contribution undeniable.
A public record of work. Proof-linked.
Verifier-signed. Preserved as protocol history.
Already being used by early projects to record and verify real contribution history.

Most systems can't see work.So they reward signals.
When contribution isn't legible, ecosystems fall back to proxies: visibility, noise, proximity, social signals.
Those signals can be farmed. Work cannot.
PROXIES
PROTOCOL TRUTH
Recording contribution, not engagement
Signals are not evidence.
Incentives can't be fairuntil contribution is legible.
Incentive systems don't fail because incentives are wrong. They fail because the evidence layer is missing. If the only measurable output is noise, the system rewards noise.
Reward fixes the evidence layer.
Reward makescontribution legible.
Reward turns work into protocol truth.
Each contribution becomes a structured object with: scope → evidence → verifier outcome → provenance
A record, preserved as protocol history.
How it works
Create → Prove → Verify
A simple three-step process that turns contribution into protocol truth.
Create
Submit work as a contribution record with title and scope. Define the contribution's purpose and intended outcome for verification.
Attach Evidence
Provide links to factual records, evidencing the contribution. Include source code, pull requests, design documents, research write-ups, on-chain actions, or revelvant artefacts.

Prove
Attach artefacts: commits, docs, designs, deployments, threads, recordings. Link factual evidence that demonstrates the work completed.

Verify
Authorised verifiers sign the outcome: verified / rejected / pending. All states are preserved as permanent protocol history.
Reward Core
A neutral layer.Not an incentive system.
Reward Core is the Truth Exposure Layer: a neutral interface to protocol history. It shows verified contribution without judgement.
Core does:
- Expose contribution records and verification outcomes
- Preserve chronological provenance
- Provide structured submission and verification workflows
- Maintain address-level attribution
Core does not:
- Assign comparative labels or ordering to contributions
- Compute totals, XP, or aggregated metrics
- Decide who deserves allocation
- Embed economic incentives
Truth first. Incentives later.
Truth now.Anchored next.
Reward Core captures contribution truth immediately.
Anchoring makes that history tamper-evident.
Why now
A merit layer is now inevitable.
Incentives are scaling. Proof is collapsing. Merit needs infrastructure.
Value is being
distributed at scale
Value is being distributed at internet scale.
But contribution history still isn't legible.
Most allocation is guessing disguised as maths.
Coordination is now permissionless
Teams are global and pseudonymous.
Identity signals are portable. Contributors move between ecosystems overnight.
Trust no longer scales across projects.
Claims are cheap.
Proof is scarce.
AI makes output infinite and narratives cheap.
Verified evidence becomes the only credible foundation for contribution.

FAQ
Frequently-asked questions
Common question about Reward and Reward Core.
Reward is the protocol layer that captures contribution as structured records. Reward Core is the neutral, archival explorer (Layer 0) that exposes this protocol truth without evaluation or interpretation.
Projects define verifier allowlists. Authorised verifiers review contributions and record outcomes; verified, rejected, or pending. All outcomes are preserved as protocol history.
Reward Core is a public, neutral explorer. The codebase and protocol are designed to be transparent and auditable.
Reward Core is designed to remain neutral infrastructure over time. It preserves protocol history as records.
