For people
You show up every day.
DeFi should reward that.
You trade. You hold through volatility. You share what you find. You bring people in. That's real participation — and right now, almost none of it earns you anything extra. Attribution is the system that changes that.
7M+
Active DeFi wallets monthly
Millions of real participants — trading, staking, voting, sharing — generating value daily with no proportional recognition.
$170B
TVL across DeFi in 2025
Built by participants who traded consistently, held conviction, and stayed when others left. Most of them were never meaningfully rewarded for it.
Zero
Credit for most referrals
You shared an alpha call. Someone you brought in became a top contributor. None of that shows up in what you earn from the protocol.
Same
Reward as a wallet that just arrived
Two years of consistent trading and conviction earns you the same airdrop percentage as someone who deposited one day before the snapshot.
The participation gap
DeFi protocols know who held the most tokens on a given date. They have no idea who traded consistently, who held through drawdowns, who brought ten quality wallets into the ecosystem, or who showed up to vote on every proposal. All of that value exists on-chain. It's just never been read, scored, and rewarded. That's what Attribution does.
What gets scored
Five ways participation earns.
Attribution measures five dimensions of real participation — not just capital size. Each one rewards a different way of showing up consistently.
Trading
Up to 175 pts
Active market participation over time — the volume and consistency that makes markets function.
Cumulative volume across protocols
Days active — consistency beats spikes
Showing up during stress periods
Cross-protocol breadth
Conviction
Up to 100 pts
Holding through volatility — the behavior that separates real believers from tourists chasing yield.
Asset holding duration
Surviving drawdowns without exiting
Protocol token holdings
Position quality over time
Participation
Up to 100 pts
Governance, voting, proposals — the on-chain work that shapes protocols most participants never bother with.
Governance vote participation rate
Voting streak — showing up repeatedly
Proposals created or seconded
Delegation and community leadership
History
Up to 75 pts
Time in the ecosystem — wallet age, continuity, and early adoption reward those who were here before it was easy.
Wallet age on-chain
Continuous activity — no long gaps
Early adoption of protocols
Long-term ecosystem presence
Network
Up to 400 pts
Who you brought in and how well they contribute. The biggest single signal in the Attribution system.

Before and after
What participation used to get you. What it gets you now.
Without Attribution
Your participation was invisible
- Airdrops based on wallet balance at a snapshot date — gameable in hours
- Fee rewards split by capital size — consistency doesn't count
- Governance participation ignored in reward calculations entirely
- Referrals untracked — you brought people in and got nothing
- A week-old whale wallet earns the same percentage as two years of yours
With Attribution
Every action builds your score
- Trading volume, consistency, and stress-period presence all score
- Holding through drawdowns earns higher conviction score — permanently
- Every governance vote contributes to a participation score that compounds
- Referral tree tracked four levels deep — your network earns you rewards
- Contextual score in each protocol weights your specific contribution type
Participant profiles
Everyone participates differently. All of it counts.
Attribution doesn't have one ideal participant type. It measures five dimensions — so every genuine contributor finds their strength reflected in their score.
The daily trader
You trade multiple times a week. High volume across protocols, consistent presence through volatility. You're the reason markets stay liquid — and currently you earn the same percentage as someone who never trades at all.
Trading: HIGH
Volume: HIGH
Conviction: MID
In Attribution-integrated protocols, your trading consistency earns a disproportionately higher fee share at every epoch distribution.
The conviction holder
You buy what you believe in and hold through the noise. You didn't sell in the 2022 drawdown. You've been staked in the same protocol for eighteen months. Your conviction provided stability when others fled.
Conviction: HIGH
History: HIGH
Trading: MID
Holding duration and drawdown survival score highest in yield protocols — boosted yield tiers open up to wallets like yours.
The community connector
You share calls. You bring people in. Your group has wallets that joined the protocol because of you — some became serious contributors. You built value for the ecosystem and earned nothing for it.
Network: HIGH
Trading: MID
Participation: MID
Network score is Attribution's highest-weighted signal — up to 400 points. Quality referrals are the biggest score multiplier in the system.
Your score
One number. Everything you've done.

Global score + contextual score
Your global score is your identity across all of DeFi. In each protocol you use, a contextual score is computed — same signals, reweighted for what that protocol values. A trading-heavy protocol weights your volume higher. A yield vault weights your conviction score.
Absence is neutral. Presence is rewarded.
If you don't vote governance, your governance signal is zero — not negative. Attribution never punishes you for what you haven't done. Every dimension you're active in builds your score upward only.
Time is the hardest signal to fake
Anyone can deploy capital for a snapshot. Nobody can fake two years of consistent trading, holding through drawdowns, and showing up for governance votes. The longer you participate genuinely, the harder your score is to game.
The network signal
Who you bring in matters more than you think.
Attribution's referral tree tracks four levels deep — and weights your score by how well your network contributes, not just how many wallets you referred. Share quality. Earn proportionally.
How the referral tree works
When someone joins a protocol through your referral link, they're in your L1 tree. When they refer someone, that's your L2. Attribution tracks this four levels deep — and the quality of behavior at each level contributes to your network score.
You don't earn from random wallets. You earn from the quality of the community you help build. Share with people who actually participate. Their contribution scores yours.
