Proximity Reward System

Fenine’s 8-level hierarchical incentive model creates viral growth mechanics unlike any other blockchain.

How It Works

When you stake to a validator, you join a proximity chain. Every delegator who stakes after you becomes your “downline”, and you earn a percentage of their rewards:

Mathematical Model

Your total rewards:

R_{\text{total}} = R_{\text{base}} + \sum_{k=1}^{8} \alpha_k \times R_{\text{downline}_k}

Proximity Coefficients (

\alpha_k

Level	You Earn	Description
1	7%	Direct referrals (people you bring)
2	5%	Friends of friends
3	4%	Level 3 depth
4	3.5%	Level 4 depth
5	3%	Level 5 depth
6	2.5%	Level 6 depth
7	2.5%	Level 7 depth
8	2.5%	Level 8 depth
Total	30%	Maximum proximity distribution

Example Scenario

Early Adopter
Late Joiner
Whale Strategy

Alice stakes 10,000 FEN on Day 1:

Month 1: 5 direct referrals → +35% APY boost
Month 3: 20 total downlines (8 levels) → +45% APY boost
Month 6: 100 total downlines → +60% APY boost

Total APY: 10% (base) + 60% (proximity) = 70% APY

R_{\text{annual}} = 10,000 \times 0.70 = 7,000 \text{ FEN}

Ineligibility Handling

If your upline unstakes or exits, you don’t lose rewards - they redistribute:

R_{\text{residual}} = R_{\text{proximity}} \times 0.50 \text{ (back to you)} + R_{\text{proximity}} \times 0.50 \text{ (to validator)}

Example:

Your Level-1 upline exits
You would’ve paid 7% to them
Instead: You keep 3.5%, validator gets 3.5%
Your net rewards increase!

Integration for dApps

Build proximity-aware applications:

// Get delegator's proximity position
const fenineSystem = new ethers.Contract(
  "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001000",
  FENINE_SYSTEM_ABI,
  provider
);

const dcInfo = await fenineSystem.getDelegatorInfo(
  delegatorAddress,
  validatorAddress
);

const proximityPosition = Number(dcInfo.stakerIndex);

// Position 0 = earliest delegator (receives from all below)
// Position N = latest delegator (pays to all above)

Use Cases:

Referral dashboards: Show downline tree
Gamification: Leaderboards by proximity income
NFT bonuses: Airdrops to top 100 earners
Governance weight: Vote power based on network depth

NFT Passport System

On-chain identity + referral tracking built into the protocol.

Core Concept

NFTPassport (at 0x0000...1001) is a soulbound NFT that:

Verifies identity: Proof of unique human (KYC optional)
Tracks referrals: On-chain referral tree
Gates access: Whitelist for dApps/presales
Enables features: Composable across ecosystem

Smart Contract Interface

interface INFTPassport {
    // Mint passport with referral key
    function mintPassport(bytes32 referralKey) 
        external payable returns (uint256 tokenId);
    
    // Check if user has passport
    function hasPassport(address user) 
        external view returns (bool);
    
    // Get referrer
    function getReferrer(address user) 
        external view returns (address);
    
    // Generate referral key (validator only)
    function generateReferralKey() 
        external returns (bytes32);
    
    // Get referral tree depth
    function getReferralDepth(address user) 
        external view returns (uint256);
}

Integration Examples

Whitelist Access
Tiered Benefits
Referral Tracking

import "@fenine/contracts/NFTPassport.sol";

contract IDOContract {
    NFTPassport public passport = NFTPassport(0x0000...1001);
    
    modifier onlyPassportHolders() {
        require(
            passport.hasPassport(msg.sender),
            "NFT Passport required"
        );
        _;
    }
    
    function buyIDO() external payable onlyPassportHolders {
        // Only passport holders can participate
    }
}

contract TieredRewards {
    NFTPassport public passport = NFTPassport(0x0000...1001);
    
    function getRewardMultiplier(address user) 
        public view returns (uint256) 
    {
        if (!passport.hasPassport(user)) {
            return 100; // 1x (100%)
        }
        
        uint256 depth = passport.getReferralDepth(user);
        
        if (depth >= 100) return 200; // 2x
        if (depth >= 50) return 150;  // 1.5x
        if (depth >= 10) return 125;  // 1.25x
        return 110; // 1.1x
    }
}

contract ReferralRewards {
    NFTPassport public passport = NFTPassport(0x0000...1001);
    
    function claimRewards() external {
        require(passport.hasPassport(msg.sender), "No passport");
        
        address referrer = passport.getReferrer(msg.sender);
        
        if (referrer != address(0)) {
            // Pay 10% to referrer
            uint256 referralBonus = rewards * 10 / 100;
            payable(referrer).transfer(referralBonus);
        }
        
        // Pay remaining to user
        payable(msg.sender).transfer(rewards);
    }
}

Use Cases

DeFi: Sybil Resistance

Problem: Airdrops get farmed by bots
Solution: Require NFT Passport for claims

function claimAirdrop() external {
    require(passport.hasPassport(msg.sender), "Need passport");
    require(!claimed[msg.sender], "Already claimed");
    
    claimed[msg.sender] = true;
    token.transfer(msg.sender, AIRDROP_AMOUNT);
}

Result: One claim per verified human

GameFi: Guild Formation

Concept: Guilds = referral trees

Guild master = root node
Members = downlines
Track on-chain hierarchy
Distribute loot based on tree position

function getGuildMembers(address guildMaster) 
    external view returns (address[] memory) 
{
    // Traverse referral tree from root
    // Return all descendants
}

Social: Verified Accounts

Enterprise: KYC Compliance

Flow:

User submits KYC docs off-chain
Approved users get passport mint signature
Mint passport with signature (on-chain proof)
Access regulated services

Privacy: Personal data stays off-chain, only verification status on-chain

System Contract Integration

Four precompiled contracts at deterministic addresses:

1. FenineSystem (0x0000…1000)

Core FPoS logic - validator and delegator management. Key Functions:

interface IFenineSystem {
    // Staking
    function stake(address validator) external payable;
    function unstake(address validator) external;
    function claimDelegatorReward(address validator) external;
    
    // Queries
    function getActiveValidators() external view returns (address[] memory);
    function getValidatorInfo(address va) external view returns (ValidatorInfo memory);
    function getDelegatorInfo(address dc, address va) external view returns (DelegatorInfo memory);
    
    // Advanced
    function getEstimatedDelegatorReward(address dc, address va) 
        external view returns (uint256 pending, uint256 afterProximity, uint256 afterTax);
}

Use Case: Staking dashboard

// Display all validators with stats
const validators = await fenineSystem.getActiveValidators();

for (const va of validators) {
  const info = await fenineSystem.getValidatorInfo(va);
  
  console.log({
    address: va,
    totalStake: ethers.formatEther(info.totalStake),
    commission: info.commissionRate / 100,
    delegators: Number(info.stakerCount),
    apy: calculateAPY(info) // Custom function
  });
}

2. NFTPassport (0x0000…1001)

Already covered above - identity + referrals.

3. TaxManager (0x0000…1002)

Computes tax on staking rewards.

interface ITaxManager {
    function computeTax(uint256 amount) 
        external view returns (
            uint256 taxAmount,
            uint256 burnShare,
            uint256 devShare
        );
    
    function getTaxRate() external view returns (uint256); // Returns 1000 = 10%
}

Use Case: Display fee breakdown

const reward = ethers.parseEther("100");
const [taxAmount, burnShare, devShare] = await taxManager.computeTax(reward);

console.log({
  gross: "100 FEN",
  tax: ethers.formatEther(taxAmount),
  burned: ethers.formatEther(burnShare),
  devFund: ethers.formatEther(devShare),
  netReceived: ethers.formatEther(reward - taxAmount)
});

4. RewardManager (0x0000…1003)

Dynamic block reward configuration.

interface IRewardManager {
    function blockReward() external view returns (uint256);
    function pendingReward() external view returns (uint256);
    function pendingActivationEpoch() external view returns (uint256);
}

Use Case: Show upcoming reward changes

const currentReward = await rewardManager.blockReward();
const pendingReward = await rewardManager.pendingReward();
const activationEpoch = await rewardManager.pendingActivationEpoch();

if (pendingReward != currentReward) {
  console.log(`Reward will change from ${ethers.formatEther(currentReward)} to ${ethers.formatEther(pendingReward)} at epoch ${activationEpoch}`);
}

// Staking
await sdk.stake({
  validator: "0x...",
  amount: ethers.parseEther("1000")

const proximity = await sdk.getProximityStats(myAddress);
console.log(`You have ${proximity.downlineCount} total downlines`);

// Mint passport
await sdk.mintPassport({ referralKey: "0x..." });
