Anti-Abuse Rules
CORE includes deep, protocol-level anti-gaming protections designed to ensure XP is backed by real economic value and cannot be farmed or exploited.
These rules apply automatically across XDEX, Degen, X1 Wallet, and Social XP.
❌ No XP Is Granted For:
Micro or Spam Activity
Swaps under $1
Sends under 1 XNT
Bridges under $5
Delegations under 5 XNT
LP deposits under $10
DGN staking positions under 50 DGN
Micro graduation positions under 0.01 SOL
Invalid or Fake Activity
Self-sends
Self-referrals
Circular trades
Wash trading (buy → sell → buy loops)
MEV-like micro-arbitrage
Duplicate wallets using same device or same IP patterns
Zero-Value Events
Failed transactions
Reverted trades
Canceled delegations
Temporary positions created solely to trigger XP
Degen-Specific Restrictions
No XP during bonding curve trading
Buy → sell → rebuy loops earn 0 XP
Users with zero net SOL at graduation earn 0 XP
Micro positions (<0.01 SOL) at graduation earn 0 XP
Graduation XP triggers only once, on the final block
🔐 System-Level Protections
These protections are built into CORE’s XP engine:
1. Minimum Threshold Filters
Actions must meet minimum values before XP is awarded. Prevents micro-spam / bot loops.
2. Finalization Requirements
XP mints only after the transaction is fully finalized. No temporary/pending actions can mint XP.
3. Per-Block Limits
Only one XP event per category per block per user:
Prevents rapid-fire farming
Eliminates concurrent spam bursts
4. Cooldowns
Referral XP triggers only after the referred user’s XP is verified
Short-term actions cannot be rapidly repeated
5. Diminishing-Return Formulas
All XP formulas use logarithmic curves:
Large actions earn more
But returns taper off
Prevents whales from extracting infinite XP
6. Net Position Tracking
For Degen bonding curves:
Only net economic risk counts
Not gross buy/sell volume
7. Zero Refund Guarantee
If XP is blocked by anti-abuse logic:
It does not go into a pending state
It is not recoverable
It is simply not minted
This avoids creating XP “debt states.”
🧪 Example Scenarios (Very Helpful for Users)
👍 Legit Action
A user swaps $250 once → earns XP normally.
❌ Farm Attempt
A bot performs 100 swaps of $0.50 → earns 0 XP.
❌ Fake Referral
User refers themselves via a second wallet. Referral XP → 0 XP, referral recorded as invalid.
❌ Degen Loop
User buys 1 SOL → sells 1 SOL → buys 1 SOL → sells 1 SOL. Net SOL = 0 → earns 0 XP.
🟩 Genuine Holder
User holds 10 SOL at graduation. Earns proportional Graduation XP.
🧭 Summary
Anti-abuse protections ensure XP is:
Fair
Non-inflationary
Value-backed
Sybil-resistant
Game-proof
This keeps XP meaningful and protects the integrity of the CORE ecosystem.
