Points accrue for participation, not for being right. The protocol rewards presence. Accuracy is your own problem. This is perhaps the most honest incentive structure in decentralized finance — you are paid for showing up, and whether you win or lose is treated as a separate, more personal matter.

Overview

Vision runs a Season 1 points program that rewards users across three pools totaling 10,000 points per day. Points are computed server-side in the data-node, stored in Postgres, and backed up to CSV every 4 hours.

Vision Pool (5,000 pts/day)

When a prediction round settles, points are distributed among all participants proportional to their deposit size. The bigger your deposit relative to the pool, the more points you earn. Accuracy is irrelevant.
 Round #42 settles:
 +------------------------------------------------------------------+
 |                                                                  |
 |  Per-round budget depends on how many rounds settle per day.     |
 |  More rounds = smaller per-round allocation.                     |
 |  Budget clamped to [10, 500] pts/round.                          |
 |                                                                  |
 |  Your share: your_deposit / total_deposited                      |
 |  Your points: round_budget × your_share                          |
 |                                                                  |
 +------------------------------------------------------------------+

Worked Example

 Scenario: Round settles with $200 total deposits, ~100 rounds/day
 +------------------------------------------------------------------+
 |                                                                  |
 |  round_budget  = 5,000 / 100 = 50 pts                           |
 |  your_deposit  = $50                                             |
 |  your_share    = $50 / $200 = 0.25  (25%)                       |
 |  your_points   = 50 × 0.25 = 12.5 pts                           |
 |                                                                  |
 +------------------------------------------------------------------+
Points are awarded once per round at settlement. No continuous accrual. Each round is independent — deposit USDC, make predictions, wait for settlement, collect USDC + points, repeat.

Index Creator Pool (2,500 pts/day)

Create an ITP that outperforms. The protocol ranks all ITPs by NAV growth since creation every hour and distributes 2,500/24 ≈ 104 points per hour using a 0.7x exponential decay curve. Only ITPs with positive growth qualify.

 |  Formula: weight = 0.7 ^ (rank - 1)                              |

 +===================================================================+

Index Holder Pool (2,500 pts/day)

Hold ITP shares with rising NAV. The protocol ranks all holders by weighted portfolio performance — your returns across all ITPs you hold, weighted by position size. Same 0.7x decay distribution as the Creator pool.
 Performance = Σ(shares × NAV_growth × cost_basis) / Σ(shares × cost_basis)
Holders with negative or zero performance earn nothing. The market rewards the patient and punishes the unlucky. The protocol merely observes.

Leaderboard

The /points page shows a unified leaderboard ranked by total points across all three pools. Each player’s breakdown is visible: Vision, Creator, Holder, and Total.

What Points Are For

Points are a promise. Like most promises in crypto, the details are forthcoming:
PurposeStatus
Leaderboard rankingLive — public, social incentive
Future airdropPlanned — points convert to tokens at end of season
Governance weightNot planned
Fee discountsNot planned
The exact points-to-token conversion ratio will be determined at token launch. There is no point decay, expiry, or cap on individual earnings. Your points persist. Whether their value will justify the waiting is a prediction market of its own.

Technical Details

Points are computed in the data-node (points.rs) and stored in Postgres.
