Welcome to GenLayer Points
GenLayer Points is the official contribution tracking platform for the GenLayer Foundation’s Testnet Program. It enables transparent monitoring of community contributions, with each action earning participants points that determine their standing in the ecosystem. The platform serves as an experiment for developing autonomous and trustless GenLayer Foundation programs that will eventually become part of the Deepthought DAO.What You Can Do

Key Features
Transparent Tracking
Every contribution is recorded with evidence, timestamps, and point calculations. The system provides complete transparency into how points are awarded and rankings are determined.Dynamic Point System
Contributions earn base points that are transformed into global points through dynamic multipliers. These multipliers can change over time, but your previously earned points remain frozen at the multiplier rate when they were awarded.Multiple Leaderboards
The platform maintains separate leaderboards for different participant categories:- Validator Leaderboard - For active validators running nodes
- Builder Leaderboard - For developers building on GenLayer
- Validator Waitlist - For participants preparing to become validators
- Validator Waitlist Graduation - Historical record of validator promotions
Category-Based Organization
Contributions are organized into three main categories, each with its own contribution types and point structures:Validators
Node operators maintaining network infrastructure
Builders
Developers creating applications and tools
Stewards
Community leaders managing contributions and governance
How It Works

Architecture Overview
The platform is built on a modern tech stack:- Backend: Python Django REST API with PostgreSQL database
- Frontend: Svelte 5 with responsive design
- Authentication: Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE) via MetaMask
- Blockchain Integration: Connected to GenLayer’s Testnet for validator data

Future Vision
GenLayer Points represents the first step toward autonomous governance within the GenLayer ecosystem. Long-term plans include:- Integration with the Deepthought DAO
- On-chain recognition of contributions
- Automated contribution verification
- Token rewards based on point accumulation
