| **Contribution Score** | A composite metric computed from data volume, quality, novelty, geographic weight, uptime, and hardware tier — determines a node's share of each epoch's reward pool |
| **DePIN**              | Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network — a crypto-economic model where distributed participants deploy and operate physical hardware                          |
| **Epoch**              | A fixed time window (default 24 hours) over which rewards are accumulated and distributed                                                                            |
| **Era**                | A 24-month period within the halving schedule; each era emits half the mining rewards of the previous one                                                            |
| **Genesis**            | Day 0 — the first epoch of mining emissions                                                                                                                          |
| **Geographic Weight**  | A score multiplier that up-weights underserved hexes and down-weights saturated ones to incentivize global coverage                                                  |
| **Halving**            | The 24-month cadence at which per-epoch mining emissions are cut in half                                                                                             |
| **Hex**                | A geographic cell (H3 hexagonal grid) used to map coverage and compute geographic weight                                                                             |
| **License NFT**        | A time-limited, onchain mining permit; must be staked to a device for the device to earn rewards                                                                     |
| **Mining Reward Pool** | The per-epoch pool of $SIGHT available for distribution to active nodes                                                                                              |
| **Node**               | A registered Clawglasses device paired with at least one staked License NFT                                                                                          |
| **PoSi**               | Proof of Sight — the verification primitive that attests to authenticity, locality, movement, and novelty of captured data                                           |
| **$SIGHT**             | The native SPL token of the Clawglasses network (hard cap: 1,000,000,000)                                                                                            |
| **Slot**               | One of 20 capacity positions on a device; each staked License NFT occupies one slot (5% of node capacity)                                                            |
| **Staking**            | Locking a License NFT to a specific device to activate a capacity slot and begin earning                                                                             |
| **Unstake Cooldown**   | A 12-hour waiting period after unstaking before a License NFT can be re-staked to another device                                                                     |
| **Vision Credit**      | A USD-denominated unit of data consumption; buyers burn $SIGHT to mint Vision Credits and access network data                                                        |
