# Device Rewards & Bounty System

## DePIN Device Rewards

Karrier One reserves 1.2 billion KONE to reward contributors over a 50-year period using an **exponentially decaying model** (3% annual reduction).

**Year 1:** 40.4M KONE → **\~3.37M/month**

#### How Users Earn:

* **Uptime Rewards:** Based on device connectivity.
* **Traffic Rewards:** Higher throughput = more tokens.
* **Coverage Expansion:** Incentives for new or underserved areas.
* **QoS Bonuses:** Low latency, high speed, and good user feedback.

#### Contribution Score Formula:

```
Score = (Uptime × 5%) + (Traffic × 5%) + (Users × 5%) + (QoS × 5%) + (Location Bonus × 80%)
```

Rewards are proportional to a user's monthly Contribution Score.

## Bounty System

To accelerate strategic network growth, Karrier One operates an on-chain bounty system backed by 50% of each epoch’s reward emissions.

#### Features:

* **Target Flexibility:** Bounties can target anything from specific GPS coordinates (e.g. school rooftops) to entire underserved regions.
* **Public Bounty Dashboard:** Shows all open, claimed, expired, and fulfilled bounties for full transparency.
* **Bonding Requirement:** A small KONE bond is required to claim, and is refunded upon successful verification.

#### To Claim a Bounty:

1. Install a device in the specified location.
2. Register and lock your KONE bond.
3. Maintain uptime, QoS, and user engagement for 30–90 days.
4. Undergo oracle-based auditing and, if needed, community review.

The bounty vault rolls over unclaimed rewards, keeping them available until fulfilled.
