# Points Program

### Overview

The Points Program rewards participants based on **uptime** and **jobs** completed during defined **seasons**. Each season consists of multiple **periods**, and each period has a **pool** of rewards that are distributed weekly among participants according to their performance metrics.

### Key Concepts

#### 1. **Seasons & Periods**

* A **season** is a predefined duration divided into **periods**.
* Each period has a reward pool that will be distributed among participants.
* Metrics collected during each period determine the share of the pool that participants receive.

#### Seasons

Starting from **season 3** we will be verifying proof of availability by assigning tasks randomly to all nodes.

#### 2. **Metrics & Weights**

Participants are evaluated based on two metrics:

* **Uptime**: 70% weight
* **Jobs Completed**: 30% weight

Your reward for each period is calculated as follows:

$$
\text{Reward}*i = P \times \frac{(U\_i \times W\_u) + (J\_i \times W\_j)}{\sum*{k=1}^{N} \left( U\_k \times W\_u + J\_k \times W\_j \right)}
$$

Where:

* P = Pool reward for the week
* Ui​ = Uptime for participant i
* Ji​ = Jobs completed by participant i
* Wu​ = Weight for uptime
* Wj​ = Weight for jobs
* N = Total number of participants

***

### Referral Program

The referral program allows participants to boost their final season score through multipliers.

#### Referral Multipliers:

* Successfully refer someone: **1.1x multiplier**
* Refer 50+ active participants: **1.5x multiplier**
* Refer 100+ active participants: **2x multiplier**

#### First 100 Nodes Bonus

The first 100 nodes that sign up receive a **1.2x multiplier** on their rewards.

#### Applying Multipliers

At the end of all seasons, your final score will be adjusted based on your referral multipliers.

* Example: If you successfully referred more than 50 participants and were one of the first 100 nodes, your final multiplier would be **1.5x** (or **1.2x if no additional referrals**).
