Mining & Messaging Reward Model

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.

2. Daily Mining Pool Distribution

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.

3. Anti-Spam Filters for Reward Eligibility

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.

4. Reward Distribution Breakdown

The reward system uses weighted multipliers based on message type:

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.

5. Monthly Cap & Leaderboard Incentives

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.

6. Reward Funding Mechanism

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.
