Write Quality Code

Code as you normally would! Our AI system rewards meaningful contributions with bonuses for best practices like testing, documentation, and clean architecture.

Quality factors: Code complexity, test coverage, documentation completeness, naming conventions, and architectural patterns.
Reward = lines_added × 0.1 × quality_multiplier

Commit & See Instant Rewards

Every git commit triggers our AI scoring algorithm. See exactly how much CODE you've earned with a detailed breakdown of quality bonuses and metrics.

Instant feedback: VS Code shows a popup with earned tokens and quality analysis immediately after each commit.
🎉 Popup Example:
"You earned 8.46 CODE tokens!"
• +20% test coverage bonus
• +10% documentation bonus
• Quality score: 1.8x

Supported wallets: MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect. Tokens are immediately available for trading, staking, or governance voting.
Quality Scoring Algorithm

Our AI analyzes multiple dimensions of code quality to ensure fair rewards for all developers

Base Rate

0.1 CODE

Per line of meaningful code added to your repository

Test Coverage

+20%

Bonus for including comprehensive unit or integration tests

Documentation

+10%

Bonus for clear comments, README files, and inline documentation

Organization

+10%

Bonus for well-structured, multi-file commits and clean architecture

Consistency

+10%

Bonus for regular contributions and maintaining coding standards

Innovation

+5-15%

Variable bonus for implementing new features or solving complex problems

Example Calculation:
50 lines × 0.1 × 1.4 quality = 7.0 CODE tokens
(Base: 5.0 + Test bonus: 1.0 + Doc bonus: 0.5 + Organization: 0.5)
