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.
