Reputation

XP unifies diverse user activities under one metric, creating a common foundation for recognition and camaraderie. Whether you’re a node operator, a governance participant, or a content creator, your XP acknowledges your impact on the network. The core purpose of XP is to create:

• Long-Term Alignment XP rewards the consistent, constructive participation that keeps the YOM network vibrant. As users accumulate XP by actively supporting the ecosystem, they earn greater influence and a higher stake in its success.

• Social Trust & Reputation Publicly visible XP scores and leaderboards foster trust within the community. New members can gauge who the most active and reliable (node) participants are, while XP holders enjoy reputational benefits and recognition.

• Token Utility Complement While $YOM focuses on financial transactions and rewards, XP captures the intangible contributions—governance, community-building, creative input—that drive the network’s long-term growth and culture.

XP (Experience Points) serves as a soul-bound metric in the YOM ecosystem, meaning it is permanently tied to each user’s unique identity and cannot be traded or transferred. Because XP is soul-bound it’s far less susceptible to market speculation or manipulation. This makes it a powerful tool for incentivizing behaviors that genuinely strengthen the platform. This setup ensures that XP accurately reflects individual commitment and engagement.

As YOM expands, XP can integrate new layers of functionality—from unlocking advanced node protocols to enabling specialized creator tools. The more the ecosystem evolves, the more valuable XP becomes as the reputational bedrock of YOM.

Unlocked Perks & Privileges

XP rankings appear on both short-term (weekly or monthly) and all-time leaderboards. This dual display encourages fresh participants to climb the ranks while acknowledging veteran members for their longstanding dedication. Here are some of the benefit of high XP:

1. Enhanced Node Rewards The more XP a node operator has, the higher their position on the operator leaderboard. This can translate into increased session allocations or bonus multipliers for node earnings.

2. Airdrops & Exclusive Perks High-ranking XP holders periodically receive $YOM drops or discounted access to partner programs. They may also enjoy early access to premium features, events, or beta releases within the YOM ecosystem.

3. Governance Influence

   • Voting Power: While holding $YOM typically grants voting rights, XP acts as a multiplier—the most engaged and knowledgeable community members gain proportionally greater voting weight.

   • Proposal Privileges: Certain high-XP brackets may unlock the ability to propose major changes or direct resource allocation in the DAO, guiding crucial development decisions.

4. Social Recognition Exclusive badges and titles—displayed within the YOM dApp, community forums, and in-game environments—help top XP earners stand out. These digital “status symbols” showcase trustworthiness and expertise to other users.

How to earn XP?

The YOM dApp and Discord facilitate easy access for members to participate in activities where they can earn XP, enhancing their engagement and influence within the YOM community. Core earning avenues are:

1. Staking $YOM Locking up $YOM tokens for specified durations demonstrates loyalty to the platform. The longer the stake and the higher the staked amount, the more XP one accrues over time.

2. Node Operation & Reliability Node owners who run stable, high-uptime machines accumulate XP in proportion to the reliability and performance of their nodes. This ensures that those contributing critical infrastructure earn corresponding reputation points.

3. Community Engagement & Content Creation Active Discord or forum participation, creation of high-quality guides or tutorials, and social media advocacy all generate XP. This mechanism rewards both the technical and cultural contributors who help grow and educate the community.

4. DAO Participation & Governance

   Authors of successful proposals—those that pass and benefit the platform—gain additional XP whilst regular, informed voting on proposals further builds a user’s reputation in the community.

5. Mod/Peer Voting & Seasonal Challenges: Periodic events hosted by the YOM Foundation or community-driven committees can offer bonus XP for tasks like stress-testing new features or helping onboard new members. Certain XP awards are distributed through peer recognition, where outstanding contributions or helpful community moderation receive upvotes or endorsements from other members.
