Proof of Distribution for builders

Proof of Distribution (PoD) is Ronin's reward system for builders. It pays RON to projects that drive measurable on-chain activity, scored from the contracts you register. This guide shows you how to register your project, verify the contracts that count toward your score, and submit the activation transaction that puts your builder profile on-chain.

Who should register​

Games, dApps, DeFi protocols, and other applications on Ronin. Builders register their projects, add their on-chain smart contracts, and earn RON each epoch based on their Builder Score. Everything happens on-chain through the builder registry contract.

One wallet, one profile. If you operate multiple projects, register each from a different builder admin wallet.

What you'll do​

  1. Register your project. Connect your admin wallet, fill in project details, set a treasury wallet for payouts, and add the contracts your project deploys.
  2. Verify contract ownership. Sign for each contract from the deployer, the owner, an authorized role, or a Safe. Deployer verification is preferred and lets you self-register on-chain; alternative methods require Sky Mavis review.
  3. Activate on-chain. Submit one transaction that puts your profile on-chain. Deployer-verified contracts register immediately; the rest are queued for Sky Mavis to add.
  4. Manage your profile. Add contracts, change your admin or treasury wallet, and claim rewards.

What gets rewarded​

Your Builder Score is calculated each epoch from on-chain metrics across the contracts you have registered. Only contracts on your tracking list count. If you do not register a contract, its activity is invisible to PoD.

Before you start​

Prerequisites
  • A wallet that does not already hold a builder profile and is not already a builder admin for another project.
  • At least one smart contract deployed on Ronin.
  • Access to one of: the deployer EOA, the Owner of an Ownable contract, an authorized AccessControl role, or a Gnosis Safe that owns one of your contracts.
  • Enough RON in the builder admin wallet to cover gas for the activation transaction.
