Proof of Contribution (POC)

Rewarding the People Who Move the World Forward

Providence is built on one core belief: the players who push the universe forward should be the ones who profit from it. Proof of Contribution turns that belief into a system—one that finally shifts value away from passive speculation and toward real players doing real things.

Instead of rewarding idle wallets or bots, Providence recognizes the individuals who actively shape the ecosystem. Play the game, improve the community, create value, help others, or train AI agents—and the system rewards you for it.

PRV is designed as a utility-first token, gaining value from the actions players take across the entire Providence universe. It powers essential layers such as crafting, upgrades, AI training, world-tier progression, node infrastructure, creator tools, and access to deeper content. In Providence, utility comes first; value naturally follows.

PoC captures the full spectrum of contributions that keep the universe alive:

• Gameplay: pushing deeper into Slipworlds, completing challenges, supporting faction goals.

• Leadership & community: running Outposts, organizing groups, helping newcomers grow.

• Creation: producing content, tools, guides, mods, agent-training datasets.

• Testing & discovery: giving feedback, finding issues early, improving live systems.

• AI & infrastructure: operating nodes, training drones, reinforcing the agent economy.

These actions aren’t just appreciated—they’re recognized. Through PoC, contributors earn better opportunities, better access, and better influence, including:

• priority in limited allocations,

• preferable pricing in select systems,

• deeper content access,

• stronger governance weight,

• and exclusive bonuses reserved for active participants.

In other words: the more you add to the universe, the more the universe gives back.

Because PoC measures human contribution, not wallet activity, it dramatically reduces the issues that plague typical token economies: bots, farming, multi-wallet abuses, and short-term extraction. Only genuine contributors rise. Those who do nothing gain nothing.

PoC also forms the backbone of governance. Influence isn’t something you buy—it’s something you earn. The players who show up, create, lead, test, and grow the world gain the most meaningful say in where it goes next. It’s a model that ensures the future of Providence is shaped by the people who care about it.

Overall, Proof of Contribution transforms Providence into more than just a game. It becomes a living, community-powered ecosystem, where rewards, recognition, and influence flow toward the people who make the universe stronger every single day.
