Elata Points System

Elata points are non-transferable ERC20Votes token used for governance weight and protocol access. It cannot be bought or sold. Points are distributed through Merkle-tree-based epochs. Each epoch adds points to qualifying addresses. Reductions only happen through operator revocation, not natural decay.
Points are additive only. Once earned, it stays unless explicitly revoked by an operator.

How Points are Earned

ActivityDescription
Launching an appBuilders who deploy through the protocol earn Points
Staking ELTALong-term ELTA stakers receive Points based on duration
Governance participationVoting on proposals earn Points
Protocol activityActive trading, tournament participation, and community engagement
Point distribution is managed by addresses with the XP_OPERATOR_ROLE. Operators publish epochs and manage distributions. Each distribution ID is tracked to prevent double-issuance.

Early Access Gate

New app launches include a 6-hour early access window. During this period, only users with at least **100 Points **can buy tokens on the bonding curve.
If you do not have 100 Points, you cannot participate in the first 6 hours of a new app’s bonding curve. After the window closes, anyone can trade.
This mechanism prevents sniping by requiring demonstrated protocol participation before early access.

What Points Unlock

  • Early access to new app token launches (100 point minimum)
  • Governance weight in protocol-level decisions via ERC20Votes
  • Future incentive eligibility as the protocol expands reward mechanisms
Points are not a financial instrument. It represents participation and is not designed to have monetary value.
