Conviction Scoring
Conviction scoring is ARRAKIS’s core intelligence feature. It transforms raw on-chain data into a meaningful measure of community commitment.
How It Works
Traditional token-gating only checks: “Does this wallet hold X tokens right now?”
Conviction scoring asks deeper questions:
- How long have they held?
- Did they buy or receive tokens?
- Have they accumulated during dips?
- Do they hold through volatility?
- What’s their on-chain activity pattern?
Scoring Factors
Holding Duration
The foundation of conviction. Longer holding periods indicate stronger commitment.
Accumulation Pattern
Wallets that buy more during market downturns show higher conviction than those who bought at ATH.
Trading Behavior
Frequent trading (especially selling) reduces conviction score. Diamond hands are rewarded.
On-Chain Activity
Active participation in governance, staking, or protocol interactions signals genuine engagement.
Score Calculation
The final conviction score combines all factors:
- Duration: 40%
- Accumulation: 25%
- Stability: 25%
- Activity: 10%
Scores are normalized to a 0-100 scale.
Tier Mapping
Conviction scores map to your configured tiers:
| Score Range | Typical Tier |
|---|---|
| 0-10 | Tier 1 |
| 11-25 | Tier 2-3 |
| 26-50 | Tier 4-5 |
| 51-75 | Tier 6-7 |
| 76-90 | Tier 8 |
| 91-100 | Tier 9 |
