Golden Key System

Innovations #1026, #1027 — Recurring Engagement & Midas Touch

Overview

The Golden Key system incentivizes ongoing engagement with platform documentation and content. Members earn keys by discovering and engaging with content, which unlock multipliers for their voting power.

Re-Stamping System (#1026)

Keys can be “re-stamped” at regular intervals, encouraging ongoing engagement:

IntervalMultiplierCondition
7 days100%Re-engage with any keyed content
30 days25%Must engage with 3+ documents
90 days10%Must engage with 10+ documents

Midas Touch Tokens (#1027)

Midas Touch tokens allow members to convert Credits to Joules at favorable rates:

interface MidasConversion {
  tokensRequired: number;
  creditsConverted: number;
  joulesReceived: number;
  bonusRate: number; // 1.1 = 10% bonus
}

// Example conversion
const conversion = {
  tokensRequired: 1,
  creditsConverted: 100,
  joulesReceived: 110, // 10% bonus
  bonusRate: 1.1
};

Multiplier Calculation

Golden Keys contribute to the overall voting multiplier:

Total Multiplier = Timing × Mark Level × Outlet × Golden Key × First 100
                 = 1.5 × 2.5 × 1.5 × 1.25 × 1.5
                 = Maximum 7.03x per factor
                 = Theoretical max: 562.5x

Five Circles Organization (#1048)

Documents are organized into five thematic circles:

  1. Foundation Circle: Platform basics
  2. Economic Circle: Credits, Joules, HIVI
  3. Governance Circle: Voting, The 300
  4. Community Circle: Initiatives, nodes
  5. Innovation Circle: Patents, development

Completing all keys in a circle earns the “Full Circle” milestone.
