1. What’s PrimePoint?

PrimePoints (PP) are the engagement score of the PrimeVault ecosystem. They are not a traditional yield-bearing asset but a participation unit that unlocks access to gamified seasonal rewards.

By design, Prime Points:

• Incentivize long-term participation in PrimeVault.

• Gamify yield farming through seasonal competitions.

• Align incentives by rewarding users who commit and engage actively.

Prime Points do not generate yield on their own. Instead, they act as a key to seasonal events, where users stake PP to compete for rewards. Since PrimePoints are consumed each epoch, they cannot be hoarded passively — ensuring recurring demand and sustained engagement.

2. Acquisition

Prime Points can be obtained in two ways:

1. Staking Assets on PrimeVaults – Users earn Prime Points proportionally to the value and duration of their staked assets.

2. Marketplace Purchase – Prime Points can be bought directly on supported secondary markets.

3. Utility

Prime Points are primarily used to stake into seasonal reward events, where users compete for additional rewards beyond baseline vault yields.

4. Seasonal Event Framework

• Season Duration: Each season consists of 10 epochs, with each epoch lasting 3 days.

• Progressive Rewards: The reward pool increases with each epoch (Epoch n+1 > Epoch n).

• Participation:

  • Users stake Prime Points into an epoch pool.

  • At epoch close, the Top 100 users by staked Prime Points share the reward pool.

  • Distribution is pro-rata based on each user’s share of staked PP among the Top 100.

5. Reset & Competitive Dynamics

• At the end of each epoch, all staked Prime Points reset to 0.

• Points used in an epoch are consumed and do not carry over.

• Trade-off:

  • Later epochs → larger reward pools, but also more participants and dilution.

  • Earlier epochs → smaller reward pools, but potentially higher individual yield due to less competition.

Example:

• Epoch 5 reward pool: $10,000.

• Total Prime Points staked: 1,000,000 PP.

• User A stakes 50,000 PP (5%) of the pool.

Result:

• User A earns 5% of $10,000 = $500.

If total staked had been 500,000 PP instead, User A’s 50,000 PP = 10% share → $1,000 payout.

This illustrates how later epochs can have bigger rewards, but the actual user yield depends on relative competition.

Implications:

• Early Epoch Strategy: Lower competition, but smaller rewards.

• Late Epoch Strategy: Bigger rewards, but risk of dilution.

• Engagement Loop: With resets every 3 days, users are encouraged to participate actively throughout the season.
