Incentive and Deterrence Design
To maintain a vibrant and secure ecosystem, MUD has established a dual mechanism of incentives and accountability for its stakeholders.
Rewards Framework:
Validator Staking Rewards Participants running validator nodes and securing the network earn regular rewards via token staking.
Community Builder Grants Users who contribute to ecosystem growth (e.g., education, moderation, localization, campaign execution) are eligible for token-based recognition.
Developer Support Program Development teams that build critical infrastructure or applications within the MUD ecosystem may receive treasury funding and milestone-based bonuses.
Deterrence Measures:
Governance Misuse Penalties Users engaging in manipulation, spam proposals, or collusion face automatic reductions in their credit scores and may incur token slashing.
Reputation-Based Sanctions Sustained negative behavior affects a participant’s governance rights, future funding eligibility, and standing in ecosystem initiatives.
MUD’s governance logic evolves through DAO iterations and aims to balance participatory inclusivity with resilience against abuse.
