What the network does

31 kinds of check, running right now

Devices open pages, measure the answer, compare content and confirm reviews. Below are the six most frequent kinds and how many such assignments are already closed.

A result is confirmed by several devices

One assignment goes to several participants at once. The answer is accepted when independent devices agree — and that is the answer points are paid for.

How it is credited

Every check has its own tariff

A tariff is the AP for one replica the network agreed with. The numbers come from the crediting code: the page shows the very table it pays by.

Twelve kinds out of 31 in the queue. The tariff is multiplied by the trust in the device — from 0,05 to 1,0: the longer a device answers correctly, the more the same work brings.

Bars are scaled to the network ceiling: your own can be reached in a day of work, the network one only by everyone together.

Friday payout Next one — 20.11, 03:23 UTC

The week closes and the AP pool is split by the sparks of the week. The threshold to take part is 50 sparks.

The ladder

7 steps, and each opens something

A step opens for AP plus your own history: rating, checks of other people’s reviews that reached a verdict, and work the network accepted.

Price of a step and the weekly multiplier

The column is the price in AP; the caption under it is how much the step multiplies your share of the Friday pool.

Where points go

AP is spent inside the network

The amounts are real debits from the ledger: this is what the latest purchases looked like.

The ledger

Every entry stays where it is

The ledger is append-only: a credit is a row, a correction is a counter-row pointing at it. The history shows both.

Passing points on

Points can be passed to another participant

The limits are settings: the page reads them as it loads and changes together with them.

From the Node step

A step is opened by your own history: rating, checks that reached a verdict and work the network accepted.

10.00% burns away

Inside one group — the same invitation, the same network, the same device — it is 50.00%.

Up to 200.00 AP a day

And 500.00 AP over seven days. Over 30 days each side moves as much as it earned itself.

Every transfer is an entry in the ledger on both accounts, and the burned share is an entry of its own.

Four units, each with its own job

Account balancemoney

Topped up in euro, and it can be paid with many currencies. Plans and services come off this balance.

GRAMgame items

An invoice for a game item is issued straight in GRAM — exactly as many coins as the item costs.

Sparksthe week’s account

They add up for work the network accepted and turn into a share of the AP pool on Friday.

Astra Pointsparticipation

They open the steps of the ladder and are spent in the shop — gear, boosters, stakes.

Short answers

What is AP measured in

In AP. Tariffs, ceilings, the weekly pool and the prices in the shop are all in points.

How to get the first points

Connect a device and leave it in the network. The first credit lands once other devices agree with its answer.

What points open up

Gear and items for Astra, boosters, duel stakes, a lock in the bank — and the steps of the ladder.

How long entries live

All the time. The ledger is append-only, so the history can be re-read a year later.

Connect a device — and watch the first entry appear in the ledger

A phone on the charger or a server that is running anyway. There is plenty in the queue: the network closes assignments by the hundred every hour.
