# Incentivized Testnet

Our testnet rewards program focuses on generating meaningful trading activity, building consistent usage, filtering quality participants, collecting valuable feedback, and creating fair token distribution based on actual platform contribution.

**Important:** Program rules, point values, and token allocations may be updated at any time to ensure fairness and program integrity. Significant changes will be announced in advance when possible.

### Token Distribution Structure

At Token Generation Event (TGE), testnet points convert to $YMTA tokens according to this allocation:

| Category               | Token Allocation | Recipients                                     |
| ---------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Trading & Liquidity    | 50%              | All participants, proportional to total points |
| Early Adopters         | 15%              | First month participants get bonus allocation  |
| Referral Program       | 10%              | Based on successful referral points            |
| Bug Reports & Feedback | 10%              | Manual review of valid submissions             |
| Feature Quests         | 10%              | Users who test new platform features           |
| Reserve Pool           | 5%               | Edge cases and market maker incentives         |

**Note:** We apply a square-root curve to prevent whale dominance and ensure fair distribution across all participants.

### Anti-Farming Rules

To maintain program integrity:

1. **Identity Verification** - Wallet, Discord, and Twitter must match at claim time
2. **Volume Caps** - Daily limit of $500,000 USD to prevent wash trading
3. **Cluster Detection** - Same IP/device usage gets flagged for review
4. **Referral Requirements** - Referred users must trade on 3+ different days
5. **Faucet Limits** - Reasonable token distribution to prevent abuse
