Mining & Messaging Reward Model
Last updated
Last updated
Sudo introduces Proof-of-Engagement Mining, a novel mechanism where every meaningful message becomes a tokenized interaction. This system transforms messaging activity into a measurable, on-chain contribution that generates SUDO token rewards. By tying rewards to verifiable engagement, Sudo creates a self-sustaining, anti-inflationary social mining economy.
1. Messaging = Mining
Every message sent by a verified Sudo user directly contributes to SUDO token mining. Rewards are calculated using multiple variables:
Message Length & Quality: Longer, more meaningful messages are weighted higher.
Interaction Type: Direct Messages (DMs), group chats, and channel posts have different reward multipliers.
Proof-of-Use Verification: Anti-bot and anti-spam filters ensure all rewarded messages are encrypted, signed, and originate from authentic wallet activity.
This ensures only genuine, user-driven interactions contribute to mining rewards.
The daily reward pool is funded through SUDO token buybacks, creating a closed-loop reward system without inflation:
Daily Reward Pool: Equivalent of 2 USDT worth of SUDO tokens (sourced from the hourly auto-buy allocation).
Per-User Cap: Maximum of 1 USDT worth of SUDO tokens per day.
Dynamic Difficulty: As user numbers grow, competition for rewards increases, and per-message rewards adjust automatically.
Sudo’s anti-spam framework ensures quality over quantity:
Message Requirements:
Minimum of 10 characters.
No repetitive or low-entropy content (e.g., “aaa”).
One reward per unique sender-receiver pair per message (no duplicate counting).
Bot Detection:
Wallet activity and transaction patterns are analyzed.
Message entropy and signature validation ensure originality.
All messages are sent over Libsignal-encrypted transport, making spoofing or tampering impossible.
The reward system uses weighted multipliers based on message type:
Message Type
Weight
Average Reward (SUDO)
Direct Message

1
Group Message
1.2x
1.2
Channel Post
0.5x
0.5
Additional incentives:
Channel View Rewards: Readers can earn small rewards for engaging with channel content (engagement-based mining).
Creator Earnings: Channel owners earn a small fee per 100 active readers, incentivizing high-quality content.
To encourage sustained engagement without excessive emissions:
Monthly Reward Cap: Maximum of 30 USDT worth of SUDO tokens per user.
Leaderboard Rewards: Top 100 monthly earners share an extra 1,000 USDT reward pool.
Gamified UI: Displays user rank, daily streaks, and performance stats to encourage healthy competition.
All mining rewards are funded entirely from the platform’s buy-and-burn model:
Hourly allocation example: 10 USDT total buyback → 3 USDT to reward pool, 7 USDT burned.
No Token Inflation: SUDO is capped at 100 million tokens.
Rewards are Re-Circulated: Only pre-minted tokens enter circulation; no new tokens are minted.
