Points Program
The Republic Network pre-mainnet points program rewards validators, evangelists, and community members for their contributions to the ecosystem ahead of mainnet launch. Points are distributed weekly and serve as the basis for a retroactive airdrop post token generation event.
The current distribution rules described on this page apply to Season 2. Season 1 categories are distributed.
Overview
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Total weekly points | 10,000,000 |
| Distribution cadence | Every Friday before 11:59 PM PST |
| Distribution method | Equally split among all qualifying members per category |
Distribution Breakdown
The 10M weekly points are split across four groups:
| Group | Allocation | Weekly Points |
|---|---|---|
| Bonded Validators | 50% | 5,000,000 |
| Unbonded / Unbonding Validators | 20% | 2,000,000 |
| Evangelists | 20% | 2,000,000 |
| OG Members | 10% | 1,000,000 |
Points within each category are split equally among all qualifying members at the time of distribution.
Validators
Validators earn points based on their bonding status at the time of the weekly snapshot.
Bonded — 50% (5M pts/week)
Active validators that are fully bonded to the network. The 5M points are divided equally among all bonded validators.
Unbonded / Unbonding — 20% (2M pts/week)
Validators that are in an unbonded or unbonding state. The 1.5M points are divided equally among all qualifying validators in this state.
All validator point allocations are split equally among every qualifying validator within their respective tier.
Evangelists
Evangelists receive 20% (2,000,000 pts/week) in total. This allocation is distributed across role tiers and an open contributor pool, weighted by consistency, contribution duration, and ecosystem impact.
Role Tiers
| Role | Allocation | Min. Contribution |

| Contributor Pool | 2% | Active participation during qualification period |
| Nous | 4% | 1 month of nonstop contribution |
| Thumos | 6% | 2 months of consistent contribution |

The four tiers total 20% of the weekly point supply.
Contributor Pool — 2%
