Fungible Proof of Contribution

Mark Accumulation & Material Events As Fungible Proof of Contribution

In the Providence Chamber, Marks are the fungible unit of Proof of Contribution.

Your Soulbound Mark NFT is your identity. Your Mark balance is your record of action.

Every time you participate in a material event – a playtest, a critical vote, a major feedback round, a bug-hunting session, an IRL summit, a core ritual – you earn Marks.

These Marks are:

• fungible,

• account-bound and non-transferable between wallets (you cannot send them or sell them),

• cumulative over time (your total count never lies).

Marks are attached to your Soulbound Mark, not to the open market. You cannot trade them, flip them, delegate them away, or farm them across disposable wallets. You can only accumulate them by showing up and contributing.

Material Events in the ecosystem become moments of Proof of Contribution, including for example:

• Major playtests and expeditions

• Key governance votes and rituals

• High-impact feedback, tools, or content

• Critical bug reports and system-breaking tests

• IRL events, summits, and verified presence

• Any clearly verifiable act that moves Providence forward

For each material event:

• Your Mark balance increases.

• Your Reputation Score and prestige trajectory adjust accordingly.

• Your history of participation grows more dense and more undeniable.

Over time, your Mark balance becomes a clear metric of:

• how early you arrived,

• how often you showed up,

• and how consistently you stayed aligned.

The number of Marks you hold matters for:

• Thresholds for Trailblazer → Guardian → Architect ascension

• Weight in reputation-weighted voting and ostracism

• Access to inner chambers, rituals, missions, and high-signal groups

• Eligibility for special roles, tasks, and leadership positions

When ostracism is triggered, it doesn’t just touch your NFT. It strikes your entire Mark balance: your fungible history of contribution may be frozen, dimmed, or burned together with the Mark itself.

In Providence, belief is not declared. It is counted in Marks, earned at every material event.
