Contribution Categories¶
Moosh recognizes contributions across multiple categories to reflect the different ways participants can meaningfully engage with the system during the testnet phase.
These categories are not intended to rank importance or imply equal weight. Instead, they represent distinct types of signals that help the protocol understand network growth, usage patterns, and system quality from different perspectives.
Contribution categories are used for classification and analysis purposes. They do not imply rewards, ownership, or future entitlements.
Referral Contribution¶
Help Grow the Network
Referral contributions capture actions that help expand the Moosh network through meaningful onboarding of new participants.
This category focuses on whether new users introduced to Moosh go on to engage with the protocol and perform qualifying actions. Referral activity is evaluated based on follow-through and actual participation, rather than on the creation or distribution of referral identifiers alone.
Referral contribution exists to help the system understand how users discover Moosh and how effectively new participants transition into active usage.
Protocol Usage Contribution¶
Participate in the Protocol
Protocol usage contributions reflect direct interaction with Moosh's core lending functionality.
This includes actions such as supplying assets, borrowing against collateral, and managing positions over time. These interactions provide valuable signals about real-world usage patterns, parameter behavior, and system boundaries under varying conditions.
The system prioritizes genuine usage that reflects realistic behavior. Repetitive, scripted, or artificially generated activity may be filtered out or deprioritized.
System Support Contribution¶
Support & Improve the System
System support contributions include actions that help improve the quality, reliability, and clarity of the protocol.
Examples include identifying bugs, reporting unexpected behavior, testing edge cases, providing structured feedback, or contributing to documentation and community understanding. Contributions in this category are often qualitative and may require contextual evaluation.
System support contributions help surface risks, assumptions, and opportunities for improvement that may not be visible through usage data alone.
Category Notes¶
Contribution categories are not mutually exclusive. A single participant may contribute across multiple categories over time.
The presence of multiple categories does not imply that all contributions are treated equally or measured in the same way. Each category represents a different dimension of system engagement and is evaluated within its own context.
Contribution categorization and interpretation may evolve as the protocol and testing goals change.
