Ecosystem Contribution (AP)
Last updated: 24 May 2026
This notice explains how Ecosystem Contribution points (AP) are earned and shown on AGE Vault. AP is a separate programme from AGE rewards, trading-fee sharing, and invite displays on Ecosystem Rewards. If anything here differs from what you see in CLIENT OFFICE, your account records apply.
1. What AP is
Ecosystem Contribution points (AP) record verified contribution across the four Cornerstone Nodes—Liquidity Proof, Digital Consensus, Alliance Network, and Physical Fulfillment.
AP is shown on Ecosystem Rewards as your balance and node activity. AP is not cash, USDT, or AGE (gold entitlement units). Amounts, caps, and thresholds are set on the platform; your account records and in-app displays show what applies to you.
2. AP and AGER
$AGER is the platform's ecosystem token. It is separate from AGE gold entitlement units and from cash.
Your AP balance may be used to determine your allocation under $AGER programmes announced separately on the platform. AP does not confer a right to any fixed quantity of $AGER, any fixed return, or any particular market value. If an announced programme and this notice conflict, the programme announcement and your account records apply.
3. Where to view AP
Signed-in members use CLIENT OFFICE. Open Ecosystem Rewards to view your AP balance and the four Cornerstone Nodes.
Each Cornerstone Node shows its own status on Ecosystem Rewards. Status differs by node—a path that is not live for you does not necessarily mean your AP balance is zero.
4. Eligibility to accrue four-engine AP
To accrue new AP under the four Cornerstone engines, your account must be eligible and you must have linked a referrer via Link referral code on Ecosystem Rewards (one referrer per account, under our invite rules). Follow status on Ecosystem Rewards.
5. General rules
We credit AP only from verified platform and on-chain records. Events that fail our validation or anti-abuse checks are not credited.
Unless a rule is explicitly daily or recurring, each eligible milestone is credited at most once (for example, one wallet qualification credit per wallet).
Daily holding and batch schedules use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Snapshot and batch times are set on the platform.
Allocated Holdings means the AGE amount labelled Allocated Holdings on Portfolio Overview in CLIENT OFFICE. Partial AGE units are rounded down to whole AGE before daily holding rules apply.
AP accrual factors are the programme's configured rules for converting eligible activity into AP (for example, points credited per whole AGE per day). They are not trading fees, spreads, or cash charges.
E1-M1 — Liquidity multiplier. Each UTC day, a tiered multiplier is applied to AP credited to you under sections 6–9 on that same day, based on assets in your bound Ethereum wallet—the same wallet used for Liquidity Proof (Verify Wallet)—at a fixed daily snapshot. The multiplier does not create AP on its own—it only increases or leaves unchanged AP due under other rules that day.
6. Engine I — Liquidity Proof (credited to you)
Engine I combines daily batch processing with one-time rules that run when you bind a wallet through Verify Wallet on Liquidity Proof.
E1-R1 — Wallet qualification (one-time). After you bind a valid Ethereum mainnet wallet through Verify Wallet on Liquidity Proof, you are credited a one-time AP amount when your wallet meets our wallet qualification conditions (on-chain transaction history and activity). The same qualification can also credit your referrer under section 8 (E3-R1).
E1-R2 — Historical on-chain DeFi review (one-time, capped). After you bind a valid Ethereum mainnet wallet through Verify Wallet on Liquidity Proof, we run a one-time retrospective review of eligible on-chain DeFi activity that already occurred before binding completes. Qualifying past activity is credited once for that wallet under the programme's AP accrual factors, subject to per-wallet caps. We do not credit new DeFi activity after backfill for that wallet is complete.
E1-R3 — Liquidity campaign snapshot (optional; one-time, capped). When the platform announces a liquidity snapshot campaign, eligible wallet balances are measured at announced dates and credited under that campaign's rules, rounded down. Campaign terms are set in the announcement.
7. Engine II — Digital Consensus (credited to you)
Link your X (Twitter) account through Manage Node on Ecosystem Rewards. Your account must meet the follower and content rules set on the platform.
Eligible posts must include the AGE keyword or tag as set on the platform. Only posts recent enough for that day's batch count—older posts do not.
Engine II is scored on a daily batch schedule. When engagement on eligible posts qualifies (such as impressions, likes, and retweets), AP is credited under the programme's AP accrual factors.
8. Engine III — Alliance Network (credited to you as referrer)
When a member linked to you as referrer reaches eligible milestones, you earn AP under Engine III—they do not earn this AP for themselves under Engine III.
Alliance rules and daily holding snapshots run on scheduled UTC batches at times set on the platform.
E3-R1 — Referral wallet qualification (one-time per linked member). When a member linked to you binds a wallet through Verify Wallet on Liquidity Proof and meets the same wallet qualification conditions as E1-R1, you are credited a one-time AP amount for that member.
E3-R2 — Referral KYC (one-time per linked member). When a member linked to you completes KYC Level 3 under Compliance / KYC, you are credited a one-time AP amount per the configured accrual for that rule.
E3-R3 — Referral first Completed order (one-time per linked member). When a member linked to you completes their first Completed order on the platform, you are credited a one-time AP amount for that member.
E3-R4 — Daily referral Allocated Holdings (daily). Each UTC day at the snapshot time set on the platform, we snapshot each linked member's Allocated Holdings—the AGE amount labelled Allocated Holdings on Portfolio Overview in CLIENT OFFICE. When that amount meets the programme minimum threshold, you are credited AP for each whole AGE at the snapshot, rounded down, under the applicable AP accrual factor.
E3-R5 — Referral Offline Pickup (per order). When an Offline Pickup order under Offline Services reaches Completed in My Orders for a member linked to you, you are credited AP for that order under the programme's AP accrual factors.
9. Engine IV — Physical Fulfillment (credited to you)
Engine IV includes a daily Allocated Holdings snapshot (E4-R1), AP when your Offline Pickup orders complete (E4-R2), and weighted AP for Spot Trading on Gold Desk (E4-R3).
E4-R1 — Daily Allocated Holdings (daily). Each UTC day at the snapshot time set on the platform, we snapshot your Allocated Holdings—the AGE amount labelled Allocated Holdings on Portfolio Overview in CLIENT OFFICE. When that amount meets the programme minimum threshold, you are credited AP for each whole AGE at the snapshot, rounded down, under the applicable AP accrual factor.
E4-R2 — Offline Pickup (per order). When your Offline Pickup order under Offline Services reaches Completed in My Orders, you are credited AP based on the whole AGE pickup quantity for that order, rounded down, under the applicable AP accrual factor.
E4-R3 — Spot Trading on Gold Desk. Among Engine IV paths, executed spot gold trades on Spot Trading under Gold Desk in Liquidity Hub—opened from Spot & Liquidity in CLIENT OFFICE—carry greater AP weight than passive holding alone. When your settled spot activity qualifies under platform rules, AP is credited under the programme's AP accrual factors.
The same Allocated Holdings balance or completed Offline Pickup order can credit Engine IV for the member who holds or completes it, and Engine III for that member's referrer—each member is credited separately.
10. Your account record
AP is credited under sections 6–9 when your account meets programme eligibility and the relevant Cornerstone Node path is live for that contribution. Your AP balance and node status on Ecosystem Rewards in CLIENT OFFICE are the authoritative record. If something does not match what you expect, contact us through official support channels before drawing conclusions from third-party screens or estimates.
11. Changes
We may update AP rules, schedules, and eligibility from time to time. Material changes will be marked by an updated date on this notice.
12. Support
