Aura Farming System: Train & Distribute the AI

Aura is Edgen’s innovative incentive system motivating traders and analysts to actively 1/ train Edgen’s AI and 2/ widely distribute valuable market insights. Crucially, Aura is not a tradable token, but a quantifiable, transparent record demonstrating your contribution and influence in building Edgen’s collective intelligence.
Here’s how the Aura farming system works at a high level: whenever you contribute valuable content to Edgen (AI training) or help spread the word about Edgen’s with your communities (AI distribution), you can earn Aura. It’s proof that you’ve made Edgen smarter or more influential. High-Aura users gain recognition, the right to review other Alpha posts to farm Aura, and potentially future perks, creating a win-win-win feedback loop:
Users help Edgen (by distributing or training)
Edgen becomes smarter, more useful, more widely known
Which in turn benefits the users
and attracts more users.
Aura is the system that transforms these community analyses and market calls into proprietary AI training data. Each user-generated training input systematically refines Edgen’s AI, making its predictive intelligence sharper. And each act of distribution brings more minds (and data) into Edgen AI’s orbit. Over time, this creates an expanding pool of unique insights and a historical track record difficult to replicate elsewhere. The more people use and contribute to Edgen, the more Edgen learns and the more everyone wins. This is our network effect flywheel: a community-and-AI co-development loop. Aura pools capture, quantify, and tokenize our trading community strength into value, but also actual artificial market intelligence. As AI tech is becoming commoditized, collective intelligence is unreplicable and leads to outsized moats and success.
What makes Aura farming especially powerful is that its distribution mechanism is part AI-driven and part human-driven, ensuring quality at scale. Here’s how the Aura distribution framework works in practice:
When users create content eligible for Aura rewards, that content goes through a multi-layer curation process to determine how much Aura to grant. The total Aura reward pool is split into an entry-level Distribution Pool (30%) and an advanced Training Pool (70%). The Distribution Pool rewards those spreading insights externally, and the Training Pool rewards those creating content useful for Edgen’s AI.
Distribution Pool (30%)
On the distribution side, the criteria are straightforward. To earn from the Distribution Pool, a user’s external post on Twitter must:
Include any crypto ticker
Tag @EdgenTech Account on X
Pass an AI relevance check to ensure it’s actually about crypto markets and not a random topic
Garner at least 3,000 impressions in under 24 hours, showing it gained some attention.
If all those criteria are met, the user gets an Aura reward from this pool. In essence, you’re being rewarded for effectively disseminating valuable information to the wider community. You help others catch on to an insight or to your favorite token and you bring Edgen more visibility – so we share some Aura with you as a thank you. This can turn into a virtuous cycle: as Edgen insights spread, more users join, more data flows in, and the AI gets even better.
To qualify for the next pool and gain significantly more Aura rewards, tweets must reference tokens from Edgen Radar’s Top 500 trending tokens. The content then passes through a funnel of rigorous validation layers ensuring only the highest quality insights train Edgen’s AI:
Training Pool (60%)
Within the Training Pool, there are further reward layers:
1st Layer: AI Scoring (1/3): Edgen’s AI evaluates each submitted piece of content. It checks objective criteria (e.g., is the content about a token in the top 500 market cap? Does it tag Edgen appropriately? Is it unique content vs. plagiarized?) and also gives it a relevance/quality score based on the writing and insight. Only content that passes a certain AI-score threshold is eligible for Aura. This ensures a baseline of quality and relevance – spam or low-effort posts get filtered out immediately. If your content meets these criteria, you’re rewarded with some Aura and move to the next layer of evaluation.
2nd Layer: Community Scoring (2/3): The qualified contributions from layer 1 are then distributed to the community for human collective evaluation. Here, Edgen users with high Aura or strong reputations on crypto Twitter, can rate the content. This human check reinforces that the content is insightful, original, and valuable to traders (not just well-written gibberish that fooled the AI). The crowd’s wisdom, weighted by expertise, helps rank the contributions. Also, a normalization algorithm ensures no one can game the system with random votes – consistent consensus is needed. The majority of the Aura rewards from the Contribution Pool are allocated based on this community assessment. In short, if your analysis truly impresses your peers and adds value, you’ll get a hefty Aura boost.
Bonus: Human Expert Evaluation (10%)
Finally, a subset of recognized expert users (those who have high Aura themselves and proven influence track records on Crypto Twitter) get to weigh in. They act as a quality firewall and mentorship layer for Edgen’s AI. These experts receive the remaining portion of Aura for their effort to review and curate content made by others. Think of it as senior analysts reviewing junior analysts’ work, at scale. It’s a way to continuously raise the bar and also involve experienced community members in training the AI.
This structured funnel ensures only high-quality, validated insights continuously enhance Edgen’s AI, creating unmatched accuracy, community trust, and ongoing collective intelligence.
Example:
Imagine a crypto analyst named Vitamin Bucolic spots an undervalued protocol quietly achieving significant on-chain adoption, confirmed by surging GitHub activity (fundamental), bullish technical setups (technical), and growing mentions by key Twitter influencers (social).
Vitamin tweets his detailed analysis, tagging Edgen and gaining rapid traction (50,000 impressions overnight). He immediately earns Aura rewards from the distribution pool. His analysis, referencing a token from Radar's top 500 based on market cap, passes AI scoring due to its depth and originality. The community validates his findings, recognizing genuine alpha, boosting his Aura significantly, enriching Edgen’s AI model. Vitamin’s contribution visibly improves collective intelligence, reinforcing Edgen’s virtuous circle.
Through this Aura farming system, Edgen aligns the interests of regular traders, crypto analysts, and the AI itself. Users who feed data and knowledge into Edgen see their influence (Aura) grow; Edgen becomes smarter and more popular, which in turn provides even better insights for those users. The community is literally co-creating the AI’s knowledge base and expanding its reach. This makes Edgen more than a product, but a living community and evolving, ever-smarter brain. Every piece of Alpha someone uncovers and shares doesn’t just benefit them – it trains the AI to benefit everyone and cements Edgen’s position as the de facto crypto market intelligence hub.
Over time, Aura accumulations will represent a rich, permissionless, unreplicable history of who contributed what insights and who earned their stripes as savvy analysts. This stored “karma” is shown on user profiles, as a badge of honor. Aura will also carry more utility in the future (for instance, perhaps high-Aura users could contribute computing resources to a decentralized AI layer, or gain governance rights if Edgen evolves into a DAO). But fundamentally, think of Aura as proof-of-training and proof-of-distribution – a novel way to reward the building and spreading of market intelligence. Edgen is therefore an AI that you help train and you can trust because you saw it learn. Edgen’s success becomes your success. Become the smart money.
