Formula

At the heart of METAO's incentive mechanism lie several formulae that govern the distribution of rewards and the allocation of resources within the network. These formulae are meticulously crafted to ensure fairness, transparency, and alignment with the principles of METAO:

- Reward Distribution Formula

$$R_{i}=\sum_{j}\left(C_{j} \times W_{i j}\right)$$

Where $R_{i}$ represents the reward allocated to participant $i$, $C_{j}$ denotes the contribution of participant $j$, and $W_{i j}$ signifies the weight assigned to the contribution of participant $j$ by participant $i$.

- Impact Score Formula

$$I_{i}=\frac{\sum_{j}\left(C_{j} \times W_{i j}\right)}{\sum_{k}\left(C_{k} \times W_{i k}\right)}$$

Where $I_{i}$ denotes the impact score of participant $i$, $C_{j}$ represents the contribution of participant $j$, $W_{i j}$ signifies the weight assigned to the contribution of participant $j$ by participant $i$, and the denominator reflects the total contribution of participant $i$ across all interactions.
