🚀 Incentive System
NeuraLink implements a contribution-driven, verifiable, and algorithmically distributed incentive mechanism. Every participant—whether providing data, computing resources, validation, or governance—is rewarded in a transparent, automated way.
5.1 Core Principles
Contribution = Value: All actions are evaluated based on measurable impact.
On-Chain Verifiability: Every task is tracked and rewarded via smart contracts.
Hierarchical Incentives: Different behaviors receive different reward weights based on difficulty, importance, and scarcity.
5.2 Participant Roles & Incentive Matrix
Data Provider
Uploading high-quality datasets
Rewarded based on usage frequency and dataset scarcity
Training Node
Executing AI training tasks
Rewards linked to training rounds and accuracy improvements
Validator
Verifying model performance
Paid for accuracy and consensus confirmation
Model Publisher
Deploying reusable models to marketplace
Earns from model usage and API access by others
Contributor
Labeling, translating, moderating tasks
Eligible for DAO grants or direct reward pool compensation
Governor
Voting, proposing, reviewing system changes
Receives governance incentives based on engagement and outcome
5.3 Neura Token Utility
Incentive Asset: Used to reward participation across all layers of the platform
Governance Key: Required to propose, vote, and influence protocol decisions
Service Fuel: Needed to deploy training tasks, access premium models, and use APIs
Treasury Medium: Allocated for grants, rewards, and DAO-funded initiatives
5.4 Dynamic Reward Algorithm
Each reward is dynamically calculated using:
ini R = B × D × V × T × SWhere:
B = Base reward per unit
D = Behavior difficulty coefficient
V = Validity score (based on verification success rate)
T = Time weighting (early contribution multiplier, decay over time)
S = Scarcity multiplier (for rare languages, datasets, or model types)
This formula ensures fair, context-aware reward distribution.
5.5 Reward Distribution Mechanics
All behaviors are recorded and validated on-chain
Smart contracts automate reward allocation in Neura tokens
Daily adjustable reward pools tied to platform activity and DAO governance
Anti-abuse mechanisms: cooldown periods, identity scoring, cross-validation
DAO retains control over reward parameters and can update them via proposals
