🧩 Connect-to-Earn Model

Conneth introduces a new Web3 income layer: Connect-to-Earn.

This system rewards real users, not bots, for:

• Authentic human interaction (via Proof of Connection)

• Uptime contribution (via Conneth Node)

• Secure participation in decentralized messaging, VPN, CDN, or storage

• Trust earned through moderation, content creation, and community behavior

💡 How It Works

Activity Type	Verified by	Rewarded With
🧠 PoC Verification	Smart contract	$CONN tokens
🔁 Active Node Uptime	Node manager	$CONN hourly
💬 Social Engagement (comments/posts)	Trust engine	$CONN + Score
📢 Content Moderation (flag/report)	DAO + consensus	Trust + $CONN
🧱 Hosting Conneth Cloud traffic	System contract	$CONN + tips
🌐 VPN Routing	DAO router	$CONN/minute

Only verified wallets (via PoC) can mine, earn, and claim rewards.

🎯 Why It’s Better Than Play-to-Earn

Play-to-Earn	Connect-to-Earn (Conneth)
High inflation	Low emission + burn model
Easily botted	Human-verified via PoC
Unsustainable farming	Trust-score adjusted rewards
Requires asset purchase	Free to join with PoC
Weak long-term utility	Integrated across dApps

📈 Reward Formula (Simplified)

Base Reward = Trust Level × Role Weight × Activity Duration

• Trust Score (0–1000 scale)

• Role Weight (e.g., moderator = 2x, content = 1x)

• Duration or Action Count (hourly/validated)

reward = trust_score * multiplier * duration_hours

All reward claims are on-chain, and DAO has visibility over payout formulas.

🔐 Abuse Protection

• Wallets must be PoC verified

• Wallets flagged for spam, abuse, NSFW content are slashed

• Reputation can be rebuilt via DAO-approved actions

---

💬 Examples

• A user with Trust 500 who helps flag 3 NSFW posts = earns bonus $CONN + trust score

• A content creator with daily 200+ engagement = $CONN + reach boosts

• A VPN node that serves 2GB traffic per day = $CONN + reputation points

🎖️ DAO Control Panel

The Connect-to-Earn system is overseen by the Conneth DAO, with rights to:

• Propose trust engine rules

• Adjust reward multipliers

• Ban or boost reward pools

• Approve community mining pools
