Validators

Scoring Mechanism

• Accuracy (60%): Did your verdict match the final validation result?

• Consistency (25%): Are your decisions aligned over time with your own prior reviews?

• Review quality (15%): Did you provide flag rationale, or interact with edge-case reviews?

Performance is tracked over rolling epochs (e.g., 3–5 days), and validators with high scores are assigned higher weight in consensus.

Penalty Conditions

• Majority divergence: Frequent disagreement with the consensus leads to a score reduction

• False flagging: Marking valid entries as invalid with no rationale triggers demerit

• Non-participation: Incomplete or abandoned validation tasks reduce future batch access

• Poor validation performance doesn't restrict access but limits eligibility for higher reward tiers.

Reward Distribution

• $SYN rewards are distributed per verified batch, weighted by correctness and validation load

• Higher accuracy validators receive higher per-entry reward share

• Rewards are issued after batch anchoring is completed, typically within each epoch cycle

• Validator stats and ratios are public in a rotating leaderboard interface
