W3DV Protocol Documentation
1. Introduction to W3DV Protocol
The W3DV Protocol is designed to recognize and reward meaningful contributions across Web3 communities, empowering participants to engage sustainably and creating synergistic value.
A modular system with four Contribution Streams, Recognition Elements, and structured pathways, W3DV aligns participation with rewards in a way that grows ecosystems and benefits all stakeholders.
The protocol combines Contribution Streams, Recognition Elements, and Pioneer Pathways to measure and reward contributions effectively, fostering genuine community engagement.
2. Contribution Streams
Contribution Streams allow participants to engage in diverse activities that sustain and grow the ecosystem. Each stream serves a unique purpose, encouraging varied types of contributions that align with ecosystem needs.
There are four Contribution Streams, each rewarding different types of value and engagement:
- Align: Builds foundational trust through daily check-ins and basic actions that keep participants connected.
- Alpha: Offers tailored, high-impact tasks set by reward hosts, often involving unique incentives or project-specific goals.
- Karma: Recognizes ongoing engagement, rewarding those who consistently contribute with a 12.5% boost on their total earned BITS.
- Synergy: Drives community growth through referrals, rewarding participants with 16 BITS per successful referral and 12.5% of each referral's contributions.
3. Recognition Elements
Recognition Elements provide measurable ways to value contributions, track progression, and ensure fair rewards. They are central to how participants understand their impact and progression within the W3DV Protocol.
Each Recognition Element captures a different dimension of contribution:
- BITS: The core metric earned through actions, from basic (8 BITS) to high-impact (64 BITS) based on the action’s complexity.
- BIT YIELD: Determines the growth of BITS based on actions in each stream.
- Align: Daily check-in yields 8 BITS.
- Karma: Time-based quests amplify total BITS by 12.5%.
- Synergy: 16 BITS per referral + 12.5% of referral contributions.
- Alpha: Yields customized by reward hosts to align with specific objectives.
- Recognition Tiers: Reflect participant progression, rewarding higher contribution levels.
- Reward Streams: Structured options for distributing rewards with flexible payout timing and value adjustments.
4. Pioneer Pathways
Pioneer Pathways guide participants through structured contributions, enabling meaningful engagement and maximizing impact.
Four pathways define contribution progression and rewards:
- BitAction: Single actions, with BITS values of 8, 16, 32, or 64 based on engagement depth.
- BitQuest: A collection of four BitActions, capped at 120 BITS per quest, within a specific Contribution Stream.
- AlphaDrop: A structure of four BitQuests (one per Contribution Stream) that balances contributions across the ecosystem, providing comprehensive recognition.
- AlphaJourney: A long-term series of AlphaDrops with multipliers that reward ongoing commitment.
By progressing through these pathways, participants increase their Recognition Tier, grow BIT yield, and enhance their overall rewards.
5. BitYield Recognition Modulators
BitYield Recognition Modulators enhance contributions by aligning yield increases with each stream’s purpose, creating specific growth dynamics that foster ecosystem engagement.
Each Contribution Stream applies a unique BitYield modulator:
- Align: Earn 8 BITS with a daily check-in, creating a steady stream of foundational engagement.
- Karma: Adds a 12.5% boost to the participant’s total BITS, recognizing consistent contributions.
- Synergy: Earn 16 BITS per referral, plus a 12.5% share of referral contributions, rewarding genuine community expansion.
- Alpha: Customized by the reward host, allowing unique, project-specific yield dynamics.
6. Creating Alpha Synergy
Alpha Synergy integrates Contribution Streams and Recognition Elements, amplifying engagement by allowing participants and projects to build on each other’s contributions for cumulative impact.
There are four ways Alpha Synergy operates to connect participant actions across streams:
- Flexible BitQuest Creation: Each Contribution Stream can create standalone BitQuests with mixed actions.
- Example: Follow on X (8 BITS), Retweet (16 BITS), AMA participation (32 BITS), secret code entry (64 BITS).
- Cross-Stream Synergy: Different streams contribute to shared outcomes.
- Example: Karma (video competition), Align (voting on entries), Synergy (content distribution).
- Participant Synergy: Contributors enhance each other’s rewards.
- Karma participants boost scores by 12.5%.
- Synergy participants earn 12.5% of the BITS contributed by their referrals.
- Host-Driven Alpha Synergy: Reward hosts create AlphaQuests that align other streams to strategic goals, driving ecosystem cohesion.
7. Reward Streams
Reward Streams provide flexible options for participants to receive their earnings based on their needs and preferences, supporting both immediate and long-term engagement.
Each stream offers distinct timing and value trade-offs:
- Immediate Unlock: Single payment, 25% reduction in total reward.
- Linear Streaming: Incremental releases with potential minor gains/losses over time.
- Backweighted: Delays most tokens, offering a 25% boost for those who wait.
- Hybrid Steps: Balanced access at regular intervals, without any gain or loss.
Participants choose the stream that best aligns with their goals, ensuring they can balance immediate access with long-term benefits.
8. FAQs and Examples
This section provides clarity on common questions, ensuring participants understand the protocol and can fully engage with each element.
Common Questions
- How do I progress through Contribution Streams?
Focus on completing BitActions in your preferred stream. Each completed BitQuest increases your Recognition Tier and yields BITS.
- How are BIT yields calculated?
Yields are stream-dependent, based on daily check-ins, referral contributions, or host-set rewards.
- Which Reward Stream is right for me?
Consider your liquidity needs. Immediate unlocks offer access with a reduction, while backweighted streams provide maximum value for longer engagement.
Example Scenarios
- AlphaJourney Example: Completing multiple AlphaDrops across Contribution Streams, increasing Recognition Tier with each AlphaDrop.
- Participant Pathway Example: A participant progresses through BitQuests, AlphaDrops, and ultimately selects a backweighted Reward Stream for maximum benefit.
