# Points System

Tharwa's points system is how we reward contribution, not speculation.

Instead of retroactive airdrops based on random snapshots or sybil-gamed wallets, we use a forward-facing model. Points are earned through actions that actually grow the protocol during specific seasonal campaigns.

This isn't just about who shows up early. It's about who sticks around and adds value.

## **How It Works**

The points system runs in **seasons**, each with its own focus, earning mechanics, and reward pool. This approach allows Tharwa to:

## **TRWA Distribution Framework**

**What You Get:**

* **TRWA governance tokens**: Direct participation in protocol decisions
* **Voting rights**: Influence protocol direction and parameters
* **Economic participation**: Share in protocol success and growth
* **Exclusive access**: Enhanced vault opportunities and benefits

{% hint style="info" %}
**No Token Sales**: TRWA cannot be purchased. It's earned exclusively through protocol contribution and governance participation across seasonal campaigns.
{% endhint %}

## **Security & Anti-Abuse**

**Review Process:**

* **Automated detection** of suspicious wallet patterns
* **Manual review** of flagged accounts and behaviors
* **Penalty or exclusion** for confirmed abuse or farming
* **Protection** of genuine community participants

**Common Abuse Patterns:**

* Wallet clustering and coordination networks
* Artificial referral and wash trading schemes
* Bot-like behavior and automated farming
* Sybil attacks and duplicate account creation

Genesis Points reward real users who genuinely contributed to Tharwa's growth during the bootstrap phase, not sophisticated farmers or mercenary capital seeking quick profits.
