LavaAI Blog

Welcome to LavaAI, a revolutionary platform designed to unearth and curate the most incredible links and content from across the web. Our mission? To build a community-driven ecosystem where the best ideas, stories, and creations rise to the top, powered by you—our users. But LavaAI is more than just a content aggregator; it’s a stepping stone to something bigger. Today, we’re starting with Lava Points, a system to reward participation. Soon, those points will evolve into Lava Tokens—tradeable assets on exchanges with real, speculative value tied to the broader crypto market. Our ultimate goal? To inspire creators to mint original content specifically for Lava, converting their contributions into tangible rewards.

How It Works: Lava Points and the Path to Tokens

LavaAI operates on a 4-day cycle we call an "epoch," broken into four 1-day phases. During each epoch, you can:

• Share Links: Submit amazing content from anywhere on the web.
• Vote: Upvote your favorite links using Lava Points.
• Claim Rewards: Earn points daily and through special bonuses.

At the end of each epoch, the top 10% of content (by weighted votes) triggers a payout from our Volcanic Reservoir. Points earned throughout this process will eventually be convertible into Lava Tokens—cryptographic assets you can swap on exchanges, giving them real-world value tied to other tokens. Think of it as a speculative investment in the future of curated content!

Bonus Structures: Get Rewarded for Participating

We’ve designed LavaAI to incentivize engagement at every step:

• Sharing Links: Every time you submit a link, you’re in the running for a payout. If your link makes the top 10% of an epoch, you’ll snag 10% of that content’s payout share from the reservoir—automatically rewarding quality curation.
• Daily Claiming: Log in each day of the epoch to claim free Lava Points. The earlier you claim, the more you get: 12 points on Day 1, 6 on Day 2, 3 on Day 3, and 1 on Day 4. It’s a simple way to build your stash!
• Advance Epoch & Initiate Payout Bonus: Admins can advance the epoch after Day 4, triggering payouts. If you’re the admin who pushes this button, you score a hefty 1,000-point bonus—a thank-you for keeping the system flowing.

The Volcanic Reservoir: Oscillation and Payouts

At the heart of LavaAI is the Volcanic Reservoir, a pool of points that oscillates between "Cryptodoming" and "Eruption" phases:

• Cryptodoming: The reservoir grows as activity increases, capped at 555,000 points. When it hits this max, it flips to Eruption mode, and 25% (138,750 points) is paid out.
• Eruption: After a payout, the reservoir shrinks but never drops below 17,000 points. It then reverts to Cryptodoming, growing again until the next Eruption. During non-Eruption phases, payouts are 11% (61,050 points) of the max.

For each epoch’s top 10% of links: 10% of the payout pot goes to the person who shared the link, and 90% is split among voters, proportional to their weighted votes (influenced by points spent, a whale multiplier, and a day multiplier that favors early voting). This ensures that both curators and supporters are rewarded, driving a cycle of quality content discovery.

The Future: From Points to Tokens

Right now, you’re earning Lava Points—think of them as a beta currency. Soon, we’ll launch Lava Tokens, converting your points into a tradeable asset. Imagine a future where your knack for spotting great content or creating Lava-specific pieces earns you tokens with real market value. That’s the vision we’re building toward.
