RuleBook for dApps

This ruleBook is a proposal based application, to protect the sustainability and fairness of the ecosystem.

To preserve fair distribution of weekly allocation and prevent gaming of the system, the following are prohibited for any dApp seeking or receiving B3TR incentives. For more context, please refer to this update: 12 May 2025 Governance update

1. Direct Double Dipping

dApps must not use their own rewards to incentivize behaviors already directly compensated by protocol-level Vote2Earn incentives (e.g., proposal voting). Rewarding user to

2. Recursive Rewarding (Incentive Layering)

dApps must not reward users for interacting with another incentivized dApp when:

• The action is already subject to B3TR allocation.

• The behavior results in redundant compensation for the same activity.

This includes:

• Wrapping or mirroring existing dApps to farm additional incentives.

• Stacking reward layers for a single on-chain action.

• Reciprocal arrangements between dApps that loop rewards for shared behaviors.

3. Fragmentation for Reward Multiplication

Splitting functionalities into multiple dApps for the purpose of inflating total allocations is not allowed. Interdependent or co-deployed dApps may be evaluated as a unit.

4. Social Amplification Loops

Rewarding users for promoting, relaying, or proxying already-incentivized actions (e.g., vote sharing or vote proxying) is disallowed if the base action is already rewarded by the protocol.

TLDR;

• Rewarding users beyond the dApp action-based incentives is strictly prohibited.

• No extra rewards for actions already incentivized by VBD are allowed.
