introducing the aarnâ vanguard program

referral & contribution scoring: your guide to earning ASRT

the first wave is always the most powerful.
when the internet was still dial-up, early believers built blogs, forums, and empires. when defi was a curiosity, first contributors became legends. and now, with the rise of agentic finance, aarnâ is opening its doors to the first few who will help shape the movement.

the vanguard program isn’t just another contributor campaign. it’s a chance to build alongside us, earn ASRT for your influence and insights, and leave your fingerprint on the foundations of a new financial era.

whether you’re a creator, a connector, or a community spark, this is how you earn your place in the aarnâ ecosystem.

here’s exactly how it works:

ways to receive ASRT

all contributors, no matter your tier, earn points in two buckets that combine into your total ASRT reward:

bucket	how to earn
referral points	1 point per US $ deposited by your referrals
social contributions	points for content & community activities (see below)

total points = referral points + social contribution points
ASRT earned = total points × 0.004 US $

social contribution scoring

vanguard & genesis contributors can boost their leaderboard standing by creating or hosting. normal users only earn via referrals. here’s a sample rubric:

activity	max score
blog post/twitter article	300
twitter thread	100
youtube video	600
host online events	5,000 (with good participation)
bug bounty	bonus
tweet	50
vanguard referral	500

referral scoring by deposit tier

we categorize average deposits into five brackets, each with its own multiplier:

tier	deposit range (US $)	multiplier
tier 1	100 – 10,000	20×
tier 2	10,001 – 50,000	18×
tier 3	50,001 – 200,000	16×
tier 4	200,001 – 500,000	14×
tier 5	500,001+	12×

the formula automatically:

splits average deposits across the five slabs
applies each slab’s multiplier
multiplies by your referral count
sums into your referral points

> note: the multipliers are at the team's discretion and will be adjusted seasonally. updated multipliers will be reflected here.

seasonal multipliers

on top of your raw points, your contributor status unlocks an extra season-wide bonus:

season	duration	extra multiplier
S1	jun 23 – jul 31	8×
S2	aug 1 – aug 31	6×
S3	sep 1 – sep 30	4×
S4	oct 1 – oct 31	3×
S5	nov 1 – nov 30	2×
S6 onwards	dec 1 – tbd	1×

> note: seasonal multipliers apply only to social contributions and are not multiplied with referral multipliers.

contributor tier multipliers

your contributor status unlocks an extra season-wide bonus:
