6. Incentives

6.1 Units & Positioning

GAEA Points: Legacy unit. New issuance stops end of Q3 2025; accrued points/rights remain for later redemption/settlement.

SOUL Points: For contributions of emotional data and coordinates (uploads, binding, valid returns, quality checks). Long-term incentives producing contribution/governance/priority assets usable for discounts, priority, unlocks, staking, ecosystem building, governance, and soft/hardware usage.

SXP (pre-token): the core reward unit at this stage, issued for active contributions and ecosystem incentives; it will be converted into the official token in the future (with timing and procedures defined in the “Tokenomics” chapter).

6.2 Contribution Scope

Eligible contributors include device providers (past/future), data contributors and early participants, open-ecosystem and co-build teams, app-suite participants on GE, community initiatives, active Discord participants, NFT minters, and Godhood ID holders. Contributions include read-aloud/Q&A, scenario dialogue, valid coordinate returns, device-data analysis/labeling/review; non-redundant samples; sub-population/scenario/time scarcity; cross-modal consistency; and measured online uplift (CSAT, retention, completion, latency).

6.3 Pricing & Allocation

Reward ∝ contribution × quality (Q) × demand weight × scarcity; dynamic weighting to suppress spam/homogenization; anti-abuse via cross-modal consistency, anomaly detection, reputation/stability; suspicious samples frozen with appeal channel.

6.4 Rewards & Conversion Paths

Earning: SOUL via compliant emotional-data tasks and valid returns within GE; SXP as the current core reward.

Conversions:

GAEA Points → SXP (windowed swap; for historical contributions)

SOUL → Official Token (per tokenomics ratios/conditions)

SXP → Official Token (per tokenomics schedule)

Ratios, cadence, eligibility, and compliance follow the Tokenomics chapter and on-chain contracts.

6.5 Anti-Cheat

Device trust and uniqueness checks (integrity/environment, anti-emulator, anti-farm; rotating anonymous device IDs). Cross-modal consistency (voice liveness and HRV/EDA/PPG, retest stability; secondary challenges). Rate limits and quotas by account/device/region; dynamic throttling. Near-duplicate/script fingerprinting.
