DRAFT v0
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.
