Season 3 Rewards
'Theme: Reward Real Economic Contribution to LiveArt Protoco'
Season 3 is designed to reward useful, real economic activity on LiveArt — not speculation, passive holding, or artificial volume.
Season 3 rewards users who:
- Buy RWAs (especially when paying with ART)
- Generate protocol fees
- Participate in buyouts
Season 3 does not reward:
- Holding ART without using the platform
- Staking ART just to earn yield
- Short-term flipping or wash trading
The core idea is simple:
If you help the LiveArt economy function, you get better economics on the platform.
ART is treated as the native currency of LiveArt, and Season 3 encourages productive circulation of ART through rebates, discounts, and privileges.
Overview of Season 3 Mechanics
Season 3 consists of four tightly linked components:
- Contribution Score – a transparent, activity-based ranking metric
- Reward Tiers – percentile-based tiers derived from Contribution Score
- ART Payment Rebates – predictable rebates when paying for RWAs with ART
- ART Staking as a Cap Booster – optional commitment that increases reward limits, not reward rates
No single component works alone — they reinforce each other.
Contribution Score
The Contribution Score measures how much real economic value a wallet contributes during Season 3.
It is recalculated weekly and finalized at the end of the season.
What counts toward Contribution Score
Contribution Score is based on three signals only:
- ART Spend on RWAs – choosing to use ART to buy real assets
- Protocol Fees Paid – revenue generated for the platform
- Buyout Participation – engagement in real liquidity events
Contribution Score Formula
Let w be a wallet.
Inputs
S_w= USD value of RWA purchases paid with ARTF_w= USD protocol fees paid (5% primary, 1% secondary, buyout fees)B_w= number of buyout events participated in
Component Scores
ART Spend Score
SS_w = 100 × ln(1 + S_w / 100)
Fee Score
FS_w = 140 × ln(1 + F_w / 10)
Buyout Score
BS_w = 50 × B_w
Total Contribution Score
CS_w = SS_w + FS_w + BS_w
Anti-Abuse Rules
Activity is excluded if it involves:
- Self-trading or same-wallet counterparties
- Buy/sell round-trips of the same asset within 24 hours
- Obvious counterparty loops or wash trading
Gas fees never count.
Reward Tiers
Reward tiers are based on percentiles of Contribution Score, not absolute thresholds.
Season 3 Reward Tiers
| Tier | Percentile | Description | Rebate on ART-Paid RWA Purchases | Rebate Cap (per wallet / season) | Additional Benefits |
| Tier 0 – Participant | All eligible | Any wallet with qualifying activity | 10% (base) | — | Leaderboard visibility |
| Tier 1 – Active User | Top 50% | Regular retail users | 15% | $500 | Platform credits for fees or future RWAs |
| Tier 2 – Core Contributor | Top 20% | Frequent buyers and ART users | 15% | $1,500 | 0% (or 50% discounted) trading fees, early analytics access |
| Tier 3 – Power User | Top 5% | Highly engaged users | 20% (hard cap) | $5,000 | 50% buyout fee discount, priority support, Season 3 badge |
| Tier 4 – Strategic Contributor | Top 1% | Top ecosystem contributors | 20% | $5,000 | Asset sourcing calls, early visibility into upcoming RWAs, opt-in recognition |
Important Tier Principles
- Maximum rebate rate is 20%
- No tier provides guaranteed allocations
- Top tiers unlock better economics, not speculative upside
ART Payment Rebates
When a user pays for an RWA using ART:
- A rebate is accrued based on their tier
- Rebates are capped per wallet per season
- Rebates may be paid in ART or platform credits
Rebates are merchant-style discounts, not yield.
ART Staking (Optional)
ART staking is not required to earn Season 3 rewards.
Staking ART:
- Does not increase Contribution Score
- Does not move users between tiers
- Only increases the maximum rebate cap a user can receive
Staking Cap Multiplier
Let A_w be ART staked.
M_w = 1 + 0.30 × ln(1 + A_w / 5000)
M_w ≤ 1.6
Effective rebate cap:
Cap_w = Base Tier Cap × M_w
This ensures ART staking only benefits active users.
Transparency & Reporting
Every month, LiveArt will publish a Season 3 update in a consistent format:
- Active wallets
- ART used for RWA purchases
- Protocol fees generated
- Rebates accrued
- Tier distribution
Example:
Season 3 – Month 2
• Active wallets: 1,284
• ART used: $182,000
• Protocol fees: $11,400
• Rebates accrued: $3,200
• Tier distribution:
- Tier 3: 64 wallets
- Tier 2: 256 wallets
- Tier 1: 642 wallets
Summary
Season 3 is intentionally "boring" in the right way: no speculation, no artificial scarcity - just better economics for users who actually use LiveArt.
This structure is designed to be:
- Sustainable
- Transparent
- Fair
- Defensible
