Datagram Points (Alpha Testnet Rewards)

The Alpha Testnet serves as a critical phase to test, refine, and stabilize the Datagram Network before full-scale launch. Participation is free and open to anyone, offering opportunities to earn Datagram Points as part of the rewards system.

Free Node License

Every registered user receives one free Alpha Testnet Node License linked to their email. This license grants access to connect to the Datagram testnet and participate in earning Reward Points. However, this license is only valid during the Alpha phase and will expire once the testnet concludes.

Referrals

Each participant is automatically assigned a referral code when their account is created. This code can be found in several places:

• On the dashboard main page, under the Referrals section

• On the dedicated Referrals page

• On the Rewards page

• On the desktop app main screen

Participants can share their referral code with others to earn additional rewards. When someone registers using a referral code, they are initially marked as “pending.” Once the referred user contributes at least 100 verified uptime hours (just over 4 full days), they are upgraded to “confirmed.”

At that point:

• The referrer starts earning referral rewards

• The referred user unlocks uptime earnings beyond the 1,000 points/day limit

This system helps prevent abuse (e.g. fake accounts), while still allowing users to track pending referrals and encourage them to reach the required uptime so both parties benefit.

Referral rewards include:

• A one-time bonus (e.g., 1000 / 500 / 250 points depending on the tier)

• Ongoing bonus percentages (10% / 5% / 3%) on the referred user’s earned points

What Participants Can Earn

Participants in the Alpha Testnet can earn:

• Guaranteed early access (Node Sale Whitelist) to purchase mainnet Full Core Node Licenses

• Reward Points, which determine future token allocations

• Free Full Core Node Licenses (for top contributors)

Node Sale Whitelist

Anyone contributing over 100 verified uptime hours qualifies for an exclusive whitelist to purchase Full Core Node Licenses before the public sale. This whitelist guarantees access to Tier 1 and Tier 2 licenses on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Earning Reward Points

Participants can earn points in the following ways:

Reward Points act as a measure of quality participation. A global leaderboard will track node operators and their contributions. At the end of the Alpha Testnet, these points can be exchanged for DGRAM tokens during or after the Token Generation Event (TGE).

1. Referring Friends:

• Tier 1: 1,000 points

• Tier 2: 500 points

• Tier 3: 250 points

1. Node Availability:

• 250 points awarded per verified uptime snapshot (4 random times daily)

• Random uptime snapshots encourages and rewards node operators for consistently connecting to and supporting the Alpha Testnet

• Maximum of 1,000 points per day

For example, assuming random uptime snapshots at 11:27 AM and 3:41 PM: Scenario A: Connected 12:00 PM | Disconnected 3:30 PM Earnings: 0 points

Scenario B: Connected 11:00 AM | Disconnected 3:30 PM Earnings: 250 points

Scenario C: Connected 12:00 PM | Disconnected 4:00 PM Earnings: 250 points

Scenario D: Connected 11:00 AM | Disconnected 4:00 PM Earnings: 500 points

Note: Above random uptime snapshots are for reference only, NOT actual

1. Referral Bonuses:

• Tier 1: 10% extra points

• Tier 2: 5% extra points

• Tier 3: 3% extra points

For instance, a Tier 1 referral would earn 1,000 base points plus 100 bonus points, totaling 1,100. Uptime points also benefit from these bonuses.

Full Core Node License Giveaways

The most active and top-performing Alpha Testnet node operators will be rewarded with one of 1,000 Full Core Node Licenses. These are in addition to other rewards and will be awarded based on leaderboard performance.

Important Note

Alpha participants should note that tokens such as $UDP, $AI, and $TCP, although visible during this phase, are not tied to reward calculations. Points are earned strictly via verified uptime and confirmed referrals. Additional earning opportunities may be introduced later. Participants are encouraged to follow Datagram's social channels for updates.
