# Anti-Sybil

### What we’re solving

We want to:

* Protect the system from low-cost farming
* **Not** punish:
  * Ecosystem Alliance usage (Unit, Kinetiq, Hyperlend, Felix, Hyperliquid, Hypurr, Hypio, Pudgy)
  * Genuine users who earned points from real activity before the snapshot

So:

* **Alliance Points stay untouched**
* **Only Trove Trading Points are throttled**

> **Total Points = Alliance Points + Trove Trading Points (after reset + diminishing returns)**

***

### Two buckets of points

#### Alliance Points (Snapshot)

* Come from: Unit, Kinetiq, Hyperlend, Felix, Hyperliquid Core, Hypurr, Hypio, Pudgy
* Based on the **5 December** Ecosystem Alliance snapshot
* **No penalty, no halving, no decay**
* These points remain exactly as defined in the main points spec

#### Trove Trading Points (Ongoing - “farmable”)

* Come from: trading activity on Trove (maker/taker volume, plus referral boosts)
* Earned **after the snapshot, up to TGE**
* These are the points subject to:
  * A **one-time reset** at 10,000,000
  * A **diminishing returns curve** going forward

***

### Diminishing returns:

Trove Trading Points follow a simple rule:

> **Every 10 million Trove Trading Points you earn, new trading points become less effective.**

Per wallet:

* **0 – 10,000,000** Trove Trading Points\
  → New points count at **100%**
* **10,000,000 – 20,000,000**\
  → New points count at **50%**
* **20,000,000 – 30,000,000**\
  → New points count at **25%**
* **30,000,000 – 40,000,000**\
  → New points count at **12.5%**
* **Above 40,000,000**\
  → New points are worth **almost nothing** (effectively capped)

In short:

> 10M @ 100% → next 10M @ 50% → next 10M @ 25% → next 10M @ 12.5% → then basically capped.

This ensures:

* Early trading activity is rewarded
* Heavy grinders hit a **soft ceiling** where extra spam gives minimal gain
* Real Alliance users still carry most of the weight

***

### Clarifications

* **Alliance Points are never nerfed**

  Points from Unit, Kinetiq, Hyperlend, Felix, Hyperliquid, Hypurr, Hypio, Pudgy stay **1:1** as per the original formulas.
* **Only Trove Trading Points are affected**

  This includes:

  * Points from maker/taker volume on Trove
  * Points from referral-boosted Trove trading
* **Per-wallet logic**

  Both the one-time reset and the diminishing returns curve are applied **per wallet**, based on how many Trove Trading Points that wallet has already earned.
