# Founder Program

> 🗓️ The Founder Program runs at mainnet launch. Snapshot, eligibility checks, and dispute windows happen in the four weeks before launch.

Testnet activity earns you **status and a head-start on mainnet — not free money.**

We're not converting your testnet MP into mainnet MP one-to-one. Doing that would reward Sybil farms more than real users and dump a wave of unearned MP into the system on day one.

Instead, qualifying testnet users get three things — all gated by Sybil filtering:

1. A **permanent Founder NFT** (status badge)
2. A **temporary multiplier** on what you earn from real mainnet trading
3. A **small starter grant** in mainnet MP

### What You Get as a Founder <a href="#what-you-get-as-a-founder" id="what-you-get-as-a-founder"></a>

<figure><img src="/files/OBc4OFPVAyvke2DquFIv" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Founder NFT — permanent status <a href="#founder-nft--permanent-status" id="founder-nft--permanent-status"></a>

The Founder NFT is **permanent and non-transferable**. It's your proof of being early, a leaderboard badge, and a profile flair. No fee share, no token claim — **purely status**.

#### Multiplier — temporary boost on real trading <a href="#multiplier--temporary-boost-on-real-trading" id="multiplier--temporary-boost-on-real-trading"></a>

The multiplier applies to mainnet MP you earn from **real trading**. It decays linearly from your tier's starting value to 1.0× over 90 days, and is **capped at 50,000 bonus MP per wallet** so whales can't run away with it.

For example: as a Gold founder, your first day of trading earns at \~1.5×. By day 90 the multiplier has decayed to 1.0× and you're earning MP at the normal rate.

#### Welcome Grant — small one-time MP <a href="#welcome-grant--small-one-time-mp" id="welcome-grant--small-one-time-mp"></a>

The Welcome Grant is a **fixed amount of mainnet MP credited at launch** — small enough that real trading dominates within your first week. It's a starter boost, not a payout.

### Sybil Filtering — Please Don't Farm <a href="#sybil-filtering--please-dont-farm" id="sybil-filtering--please-dont-farm"></a>

To protect real users, every wallet goes through three filters before getting anything.

**1. Activity floor.** A wallet must have:

* At least **10 trades** total
* Across at least **3 different markets**
* On at least **5 different days**
* In at least **2 different market categories**

**2. Funding cluster check.** Wallets funded from the same source within a short time window get clustered together. **Only the most active wallet in each cluster qualifies** — the rest are filtered out.

**3. Behavioral check.** Wallets with suspiciously identical trading patterns (timing, sizing, market selection) get clustered the same way. Only the most active in each cluster qualifies.

> ⚠️ **We expect 30–60% of testnet wallets to be filtered out.** This is on purpose. Being aggressive on Sybils is what makes the rewards meaningful for everyone else. If you're a real user with one wallet, you have nothing to worry about.

***

### Why This Is Actually Good for You <a href="#why-this-is-actually-good-for-you" id="why-this-is-actually-good-for-you"></a>

**If you've been farming the testnet with one wallet** — real trades, exploring different markets, returning over multiple days — you'll qualify, you'll get a Founder NFT, and your multiplier will give you a real boost when mainnet goes live. When the eventual airdrop snapshot happens, that boost translates into more lifetime mainnet MP, which translates into a bigger airdrop allocation.

**If you've been running 50 wallets to farm** — the filters catch it, and the few wallets that slip through hit the 50,000 MP cap fast. The system is designed so real users come out ahead.

### Timeline <a href="#timeline" id="timeline"></a>

| When                              | What                                                                |

| **T-14**                          | Snapshot taken; you can check whether your wallet was included      |
| **T-7**                           | Per-wallet eligibility checker live; **dispute window opens**       |
| **T-3**                           | Dispute window closes                                               |
| **T** (mainnet launch)            | Founder NFTs claimable; multipliers active; Welcome Grants credited |
| **T+90**                          | Multiplier decays to 1.0× — Founder Program ends                    |

***

### Disputes <a href="#disputes" id="disputes"></a>

If you think you were wrongly filtered, the dispute window (T-7 to T-3) is for you. Two options:

1. **Consolidate multiple wallets you own** — prove ownership of each (signed message from each address) and merge them into one entry. Caps still apply.
2. **Submit a manual review request** — short form, brief explanation of why you think the filter got it wrong.

Use it. We read every one. The dispute window exists because automated Sybil detection isn't perfect, and we'd rather give real users a path to be heard than silently drop them.

### FAQ <a href="#faq" id="faq"></a>

<details>

<summary>If I trade on mainnet, do I still need the Founder multiplier to compete?</summary>

No. The multiplier is a head-start, not the main game. The dominant source of MP is your ongoing real trading — and once the 90-day decay ends, everyone earns at the same rate. The multiplier exists to give early users a small, time-limited edge, not to lock in long-term dominance.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I sell or transfer my Founder NFT?</summary>

No. Founder NFTs are non-transferable. They're tied to your wallet permanently. The point is status (proof you were early), not a tradeable collectible.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What if my testnet wallet doesn't qualify, but I think I'm a real user?</summary>

Check the eligibility checker during the dispute window (T-7 to T-3) and submit either a consolidation request (if you have multiple wallets you own) or a manual review request. Every dispute gets reviewed.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Does the multiplier apply to MP from referrals or market creation?</summary>

The multiplier applies to MP you earn from your **trading volume** — the main MP engine. It doesn't stack on referral cash payouts or market-creation MP (those reward different activities with their own weights).

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if I hit the 50,000 bonus MP cap before day 90?</summary>

You keep earning MP at the standard 1.0× rate from that point — the multiplier just stops applying once you've collected 50,000 bonus MP from it. The cap exists to prevent a small number of high-volume wallets from extracting most of the program's value.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does the Founder multiplier interact with Boosted markets?</summary>

The two stack: a Gold founder trading on a Boosted market in week one earns 2× (boost) × \~1.5× (Founder multiplier) = \~3× MP — until the Founder multiplier decays or the 50,000 bonus MP cap hits, whichever comes first.
