Operator Points Program

The Operator Points Program is designed to reward node operators who have contributed to Human Network in its early stages by running active nodes and participating in the protocol.

🧮 Points allocation for Node Operators

Below is a detailed explanation of how points are allocated.

Human Network operates as a threshold network composed of K nodes, each operated by a different participant. These nodes perform two key roles:

🔁 Multiplier:

Each day (i.e., each epoch), n nodes are selected from the total K to form a new multiplier quorum through a process called resharing.

• Among these n nodes, t + ε nodes are chosen to perform the multiplication task for each incoming request.

• The selection process is based on a combination of voting power and randomness.

✅ Attester:

Every 1,000 requests, a batch task is generated by the relay node, containing the ZK proofs for those requests. The attesters are responsible for verifying the multipliers’ proofs. Once verified, the result is published on-chain by the aggregator node.

• All K nodes participate in the attestation role to maximize network inclusiveness and ensure all nodes are incentivized, including those not selected as multipliers.

• The attestation phase concludes once 66% of the total voting power has signed, followed by a 2-second delay. This typically results in about 75% of attesters submitting their verification.

Criteria	Allocation
Multiplier role (Performer) 1 operator point per request	→ each multiplier is getting 1,000 operator points per task
Attester role (Verifier) Each request verified is 0.1 point (per attester)	→ each attester is getting 100 operator points per task
Backup of keyshare upon request by the HN team	→ each multiplier is getting 10,000 operator points
Seniority	→ at the end of point program, a multiplier will be applied to each total of points based on the date the operator registered to Human Network

📈 How to Increase Your Operator Rewards

To maximize the points you earn as a node operator:

• ✅ Keep your node online and updated Downtime or outdated software may disqualify you from participating in epochs or sending valid attestations.

• 💪 Increase your voting power

  Attract more delegation to improve your chances of being selected as a multiplier. (see Othentic docs for more details)

• ⚡️ Optimize your attester performance

  Ensure your node sends attestations to the aggregator quickly to be included in the 66% voting threshold + 2-second window. Faster responses improve your likelihood of earning attester points.
