    Builder Rewards

    Protocol-aligned recognition for real NexArt builders.

    What Builder Rewards Are

    Builder rewards are a future mechanism for recognizing applications that correctly implement the NexArt protocol and SDK.

    They are designed to support long-term ecosystem health by encouraging correct, deterministic, protocol-aligned usage, not short-term incentives.

    Important constraints:

    • • Rewards are observational, not automatic
    • • Rewards are not guaranteed
    • • Rewards are not live
    • • This page defines rules only

    What Builder Rewards Are NOT

    • • Not an airdrop
    • • Not usage farming
    • • Not paid per render
    • • Not a growth incentive
    • • Not a replacement for grants

    Incorrect, forked, modified, or non-deterministic implementations are not eligible.

    Eligibility

    An application may be considered eligible if it:

    • • Uses the official NexArt SDK without modification
    • • Executes Code Mode deterministically
    • • Respects the NexArt protocol (execution model, VAR semantics, forbidden patterns)
    • • Serves real users
    • • Publishes a valid builder manifest (see below)

    Eligibility does not imply approval or reward.

    Builder Manifest (Draft)

    Builders will be required to publish a small, public manifest file that identifies their application and SDK usage.

    • • Similar to /.well-known/ patterns
    • • One manifest per app
    • • Used for attribution, not tracking
    • • No private keys
    • • No user data

    The manifest specification will be published separately.

    Anti-Abuse Principles

    • • One app ≠ unlimited rewards
    • • Sybil resistance enforced
    • • Real usage matters
    • • Manual review may apply
    • • NexArt reserves the right to exclude abusive implementations

    Status

    Status: Not Live

    • • Builder rewards are not active.
    • • No SDK version currently emits rewards.
    • • No claims can be made at this stage.

    SDK v1.12.0 continues identity declaration only. Incentives are not active.

    This page exists to define rules before implementation.

    Governance & Authority

    NexArt protocol rules are defined publicly. SDK behavior must follow these rules. Rewards, if introduced, will follow published protocol policy.

    Feedback from builders is welcome before any implementation.
