Proof of Attention is an Open Source Solana program that attempts to solve fair launch rewards and validate users for genuine engagement and interaction with content or real-world activities. The program uses a combination of variables that can be adjusted including cooldown periods, reward pools, and fee collection to achieve this. Aiming to incentivise engagement and making any application more expensive to bot by removing high frequency transactions to line up with real world interaction times. This is all made possible through Solana's Proof of History mechanism which has an inbuilt clock in the block chain so we can validate time.
The ultimate aim of the program is not to completely stop bots from engaging, but rather to level the playing field so applications can be engaged at a human pace.
The Exploding Button app and $CLICK memecoin are the first in a series of experiments to prove the concept of PoA.
- Blinks
- Advertising
- Turn based games
- Fair launch meme coins
- Mining tokens using interactions
The plan to Open Source the application requires a short period of testing before releasing to the public via harkl's github.
Exploding Button is the first app to test Proof of Attention on Solana.
- Click to explode the Button
- Approve the transaction
- First click will setup your accs for $CLICK
- All clicks send you 1 $CLICK and 0.001 SOL to the reward pool
- You can click once every 10 seconds
- You can click the button as many times as you want
- Top 10 $CLICK holders win a share of 100 SOL based on their $CLICK balance
- Any $CLICK bought on the secondary market is also eligible to win
$CLICK is the first token to be minted using PoA. It is a fungible token that represents the value of a single click on the PoA program. The token rewards and verifies real attention with a single button tap in the app. This system uses a fair launch protocol to ensure equal chances for both users and bots.
- Initial $CLICK supply: 100,000
- Token airdrop per interaction: 1 $CLICK
- Interaction cooldown period: 10 seconds
- Total possible clicks: 100,000
- Reward pool collection per click: 0.001 SOL
- Total potential reward pool: 100 SOL
- Winner pool: Top 10 holders of $CLICK
- Winner pool distribution strategy: a percentage of the purse calculated proportionally by the $CLICK balance of each holder in the top 10 against the total holdings of the top 10
- Pool will be seeded with 10 SOL which will be returned to the Pool Owner Acc on completion
The program creates fair launch tokens on Solana which can be mapped to different stores of attention value, using transparent authorities and actions to ensure fairness. Each instance starts with all tokens held by the contract, preventing pre-mining. Additionally, a cooldown period for token releases discourages manipulation, and a single-button interaction in the app validates genuine attention, leveling the playing field between users and bots.
