Maker Earnings

Purpose

Defines how Makers earn Reward Units from user engagement and how those units convert into MPOW tokens.

Engagement Sources

Maker earnings arise from:

• Time spent by users on the Maker's content.
• Playback of Maker-produced videos.
• Interactions with Maker-authored posts or formats.

Reward Attribution

For each Active Interval that qualifies:

1. The system identifies which Content Item is active.
2. The Content Item is mapped to its Maker.
3. A portion of Reward Units attributed to content is allocated to that Maker.

Aggregation

Reward Units for Makers are accumulated per Maker account:

MakerRewardBalance = Σ ContentRewardUnits

Where:

• ContentRewardUnits are units generated from engagement with the Maker’s content.

Conversion Factor

Each Maker has an associated Conversion Factor that determines how many Reward Units are granted for engagement with their content.

The Conversion Factor is applied at the moment rewards are calculated, and MAY depend on:

• The Maker’s historical activity and consistency.
• The quality and performance of their content.
• Past behavior in relation to protocol rules and abuse prevention.

This parameter is managed internally by the system. Makers see the effect of their Conversion Factor through their resulting Reward Unit accrual, but not necessarily the underlying formula or intermediate inputs.

Token Withdrawal

Maker withdrawal is a direct settlement step with no additional conversion logic:

1. The Maker requests withdrawal of part or all of their available Reward Unit balance.
2. The backend verifies the balance and available funded pool.
3. An equivalent amount of MPOW tokens is minted and transferred to the Maker’s wallet.
4. The corresponding Reward Units are deducted from MakerRewardBalance.
