Golden Incentivized Testnet Activities

Details

Entity and Triple Submission

Testnet rewards may be earned by adding information to the knowledge graph. Additions may be done manually through the structured information tab on Golden.com entity pages or programmatically by using the API.

Triple submission: initially 6 points* for each submission that becomes accepted

Entity creation: Earn rewards for creating entities. The reward for an entity’s creation is the sum of rewards given for submitting the required triples to create the entity.

Read the Triple Submission Guide to get started.

Triple Validation

Testnet rewards may be earned by verifying triples that have been proposed for addition to the knowledge graph. You may do this manually on the Golden dApp or programmatically by using the API.

Validation vote: initially 1 point* for each validation vote that goes on to agree with the decision of the acceptance or rejection.

Read the Triple Validation guide to get started.

**The amount rewarded for triple submission, validation, and entity creation will change as we calibrate and load balance the system to the benefit of all stakeholders of the protocol. **The team expects the number of points for triples submission, validation and entity creation to lower over time. [*Rewards will become dynamic based on a reward function to be defined later].

Developer Contributions

Golden welcomes developers to improve open source repositories on Github.

Golden also encourage new development efforts, such as web extension tools, extraction tools frameworks for superagent submissions and validations. If planning to create a new project please create a post on the forum for visibility; additionally the Golden team and community would be glad to offer feedback on the proposed approach. Users are encouraged to work together; rewards will be given relative to the value each user has added. If working as a team please include a summary of each users relative contributions in the pull request. Pull requests need to be accepted for the reward to be given out.

Bonus rewards will be given out to community members who go above and beyond to improve the protocol. This may be in the form of a critical review or material improvement to technical documentation, the whitepaper, in-depth technical discussions, schema improvement or governance upgrade.

Successful proposal submission reward

Up to 10,000 points

Examples may include:

• Submitting a new predicate proposal that goes on to be accepted

Intellectual contribution bonus

Up to 100,000 points

Examples may include:

• Proposing a specific mechanic for handling duplicate entities, their merging, and the resulting attribution of testnet rewards

Payouts

After completing a developer, protocol, governance, or schema contribution a payout request should be made through the following form.

Request a Payout → Testnet Contributor Form

Note: Payouts are currently made in the form with testnet rewards only.

Testnet Guidelines

Testnet Rewards

The Golden Incentivized Testnet program will distribute up to 1% of the initial supply of Golden tokens to eligible participants, proportional to your testnet rewards. Testnet rewards are used solely to track contributions to Golden’s Incentivized Testnet and have no cash or monetary value. Testnet rewards are not transferable and are not redeemable or exchangeable for any cryptocurrency or digital assets. For eligible users under relevant securities laws, Golden will use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute tokens to eligible testnet participants. Token distribution may be canceled at any time due to regulatory concerns. Golden reserves the right to amend or eliminate testnet rewards at any time.

Maintenance and Unforeseeable Events

In the event that legal or regulatory issues arise, rewards may be restructured, postponed, or even canceled. During the Golden might clear data in the protocol for development purposes. Your score will be saved before a restart happens.
