Understand PoA ranking rounds, tie-breaking, and final revalidation.
PoA ranks contributors over a 14-day round. A round begins every other Sunday at 00:00 UTC / 09:00 KST.
Round Start→ Activities Registered→ Eligible Evaluations→ Content Revalidation→ Final Score Calculation→ Contributor Ranking→ AE Distribution→ Next Round
The top 100 eligible contributors can receive AE from that round’s PoA Rewards Pool. Round scores restart for the next round; long-term Activity History and Reputation history can remain.
When users fully tie, they divide the AE assigned to that rank equally. Example: if Rank 100 receives 100 AE and five users share Rank 100, each receives 20 AE. The tie does not mint extra AE beyond the pool.
After the round, RocX checks the original content again. Deleted content is excluded from ranking, not merely assigned zero. Private, unavailable, author-mismatched, malicious, duplicate, manipulated, or policy-violating content can also be invalidated or reviewed. Evaluations attached to excluded content do not count in the final ranking.
