Behavioral Incentive Model
In the decentralized economy, alignment between user behavior and network value is paramount. StarMiner introduces a novel Behavioral Incentive Model a smart-contract-governed framework that transforms productive participation into predictable, performance-based rewards.
This model rewards not just capital or compute, but intentional, high-value actions that contribute to the growth, security, and sustainability of the StarMiner ecosystem. It integrates game theory, real-time analytics, and algorithmic distribution to ensure that incentives flow to those who enhance the protocol not just those who speculate on it.
A New Class of Economic Engine: Action-as-Mining
Unlike traditional Proof-of-Work (PoW) or Proof-of-Stake (PoS) systems, where rewards are tied to brute-force computation or passive lock-up of assets, StarMiner uses Action-as-Mining (AaM).
This means that any verifiable, value-aligned behavior whether technical, social, or economic is converted into on-chain rewards through an algorithmic emission engine.
Rewardable Behaviors in the StarMiner Ecosystem
Participants are rewarded based on behaviors across four primary domains:
1. Compute Provisioning
Running high-uptime, low-latency GPU nodes
Supporting diverse AI workloads with validated outputs
Adopting eco-efficient infrastructure upgrades (e.g. cooling, CCS integration)
Geographically distributing capacity to underserved zones
▶ Rewards: AGPU token issuance, reliability multipliers, compute bonus tiers
2. Capital Allocation & Economic Liquidity
Staking AGPU or RWAs into network collateral pools
Bonding assets to specific compute zones or compute vaults
Providing LP liquidity to AGPU/AMAX pools across DEXes
Holding long-term positions via staking contracts (escrowed AGPU)
▶ Rewards: AGPU/AMAX dual yield, unlockable multipliers, exclusive access tiers
3. Governance Participation
Voting on protocol parameters and upgrade proposals (using AMAX )
Submitting DAO improvement proposals (SIPs)
Participating in quadratic voting rounds for grant allocations or emissions policy
▶ Rewards: AMAX delegation rewards, retroactive voting bonuses, contributor badges
4. Network Growth & Community Expansion
Referring verified GPU node operators or compute consumers
Publishing educational content, tools, or integrations
Hosting regional testnets, workshops, or campaigns
Driving traffic or users to compute jobs or dApps built on StarMiner
▶ Rewards: Dynamic AGPU bounties, long-tail referral shares, ecosystem reputation boosts
Smart-Contract Enforcement
All behaviors are tracked and validated through automated reputation scores, usage logs, oracles, and proof systems. Upon confirmation, rewards are released via trustless mechanisms with:
Time-based lockups (for staking)
Performance-based bonuses
Adjustable emissions curves tied to protocol health and market demand
This prevents gaming or passive rent-seeking, ensuring rewards always map to real contribution.
Why It Matters
Traditional tokenomics often lead to inefficient capital allocation rewarding users who stake and wait rather than those who build, contribute, and drive utility.
StarMiner’s behavioral model flips the script, allowing the network to scale not just through funding, but through merit-based contribution. It unlocks an economy where compute is earned, not extracted — and where every actor has a role in driving growth.
Strategic Outcomes
Sustainable Token Economy: Emissions are behavior-linked, not time-locked
High Engagement Rate: Multiple entry points for different skill levels and geographies
Decentralized Coordination: No need for manual oversight or discretionary grants
Ecosystem Flywheel: More contribution = more utility = more demand = more rewards
In the StarMiner ecosystem, behavior is currency and every meaningful action becomes a share in the future of decentralized compute.
