What Counts

🤝 Contribution Categories

In Moosh, a contribution is any action that meaningfully reflects real participation in testing, using, or improving the protocol.

Contribution is evaluated from the system’s perspective. The goal is not to count every interaction, but to identify behaviors that provide useful signals about:

  • network growth
  • protocol usage
  • system quality

As a result, contribution is defined primarily by intent and impact, rather than raw volume or frequency.

At a high level, contributions fall into three categories.

🌱 Help Grow the Network

This category includes actions that bring new participants into the Moosh ecosystem in a meaningful way.

Examples include introducing users who go on to interact with the protocol and complete qualifying on-chain actions. The system focuses on whether referred users actually engage with Moosh, rather than on the act of sharing referral links or generating codes alone.

Growth-related actions that do not lead to real participation may not be recognized as contributions.

⚙️ Participate in the Protocol

This category reflects direct interaction with Moosh’s core protocol features.

Examples include:

  • supplying assets
  • borrowing against collateral
  • managing positions under different market conditions

These interactions allow the system to observe real usage patterns, test protocol boundaries, and understand how mechanisms behave in practice.

The system prioritizes genuine usage over repetitive or artificial activity. High-frequency or scripted interactions intended solely to inflate activity metrics may be ignored.

🛠️ Support & Improve the System

This category includes actions that improve the quality, reliability, and clarity of the protocol.

Examples include:

  • providing actionable feedback
  • reporting bugs or unexpected behavior
  • testing edge cases
  • identifying unclear assumptions or failure modes

Contributions that improve system understanding or robustness are valued more than superficial or low-effort input.

Principles for Recognizing Contribution

Across all categories, Moosh follows several guiding principles:

  • Contribution is multi-dimensional and cannot be reduced to a single metric
  • Quality, relevance, and intent matter more than raw activity
  • Not all actions are recognized immediately or equally
  • Contribution recognition logic may evolve as the system matures

Contribution during the testnet phase represents participation in improving the system.
It does not imply rewards, ownership, or future entitlements.
