Anti-Sybil
This page explains how we protect the system from sybil / farmed trading while keeping Ecosystem Alliance users whole.
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.
