The platform utilizes a Winner-Takes-All reward structure that is applied continuously, ensuring constant effort and iterative improvement within the network:
  • Real-Time Emission: Unlike traditional contests, rewards (TAO emissions) are not paid at a single endpoint. Instead, emissions are granted in real-time to the Miner whose design currently holds the highest verified PPA+F score above the challenge’s threshold.
  • Instantaneous Competition: If a second Miner submits an objectively better design (a higher PPA+F score), the emission stream immediately switches to that new winning Miner. This mechanism financially incentivizes a relentless pursuit of optimization, as the reward stream follows the globally best design at all times.
  • Mandatory Improvement Rule: To ensure a stable but continuously advancing design, a Miner who wins the emission is guaranteed that reward for a minimum of 48 hours, provided their score remains the highest. However, after that 48-hour period, the current winning Miner must submit an even higher-scoring solution than their previous best to remain eligible for the emission stream. This rule explicitly enforces constant improvement and discourages complacency, continually pushing the performance frontier of the verified IP.
