Credentials
Credentials recognize approved milestones across liquidity, trading, ecosystem contribution, and community signal. Most award Credential Points (CP), which settle into maximum-locked ORVX after the campaign.
Every Credential has a hard cap on recipients. Quality and impact decide awards — never who submits fastest.
Credential Activation
Most point-bearing Credentials require Credential Activation: 100 Liquidity Activation Points, equal to 100 USD-days of eligible, in-range V4 liquidity. There is no dollar floor and no minimum duration — $100 for one day and $50 for two days both qualify.
Activation is only a participation gate. It awards nothing by itself; it unlocks claiming whatever you separately qualify for. No points can be claimed during the campaign.
Founding Access
Founding Access recognizes the operators and builders who shape Orvex at launch. Four Credentials make up the collection:
| Credential | Awarded for | How it is decided |
|---|---|---|
| Founding Operator | Being among the first 500 participants to complete Credential Activation | Automatic — one per wallet |
| Founding Contributor | Verified non-capital contribution to the launch | Reviewed |
| Ecosystem Catalyst | A material connection, integration, or partnership lead | Reviewed |
| Vanguard | Critical, high-impact launch contributions | Reviewed |
Founding Operator is the only automatic Credential in the collection: complete Credential Activation early enough and it is yours.
The other three go through a reviewed process — discretionary, evidence-based, and capped. No reviewer can both propose and finalize the same award.
What counts as a contribution
Orvex is especially interested in:
- Hook design for RWA market structure — fee logic, execution quality, LP protection. Hooks on live Orvex Markets go through review and registration, so come talk to the team early rather than at the end.
- Market analytics, dashboards, and liquidity intelligence.
- Routing, integrations, and execution tooling.
- Position-management and LP workflow tools.
- Research and education for tokenized-exposure markets.
- Ecosystem distribution, partnerships, and infrastructure connections.
Ship a tool people use, introduce a partner that measurably improves a market, or write the explainer that makes Genesis legible. Relevant work goes through the reviewed Founding Access process.
All Credentials
Vault Builder
Vault Builder recognizes finalized Liquidity Points milestones — the depth side of the campaign. If you are providing eligible, in-range V4 liquidity to Genesis Markets, this is the Credential track that measures it.
Selection is objective: it reads finalized activity and uses deterministic ordering. There is no review and no submission — reach the milestone and the Credential is yours to claim once claiming opens.
Market Explorer
Market Explorer recognizes finalized eligible trading volume. Where Vault Builder measures the liquidity you provide, Market Explorer measures the activity you route through Genesis Markets.
Like Vault Builder, selection is objective and deterministic — finalized volume, not claim speed.
Genesis Rank
Genesis Rank reflects your overall standing in the campaign. It is recognition only and awards no Genesis Points — a marker of where you finished, not a reward in itself.
Signal
Signal covers reviewed community, envoy, and amplification work — the people making Genesis legible and bringing others in. Selection goes through the published review process rather than deterministic activity.
The Genesis Invite Credential also appears under Signal: a one-time 250 CP award for invitees who join through a referral link and complete Credential Activation. See Referrals.
Allies
Allies recognizes approved partner-community activity — communities building alongside Orvex rather than inside it. Selection is reviewed.
Feline Ancestor
Feline Ancestor recognizes long-standing members of the Catex, Ocelex, and Lynex communities who helped shape the path to Orvex — the people who locked, voted, and directed emissions on those protocols long before Robinhood Chain existed.
Eligible wallets claim a snapshot-based Feline Points allocation reflecting their historical vote-escrow position across those three protocols. The claim recognizes history — it does not require new liquidity or new activity on Robinhood Chain. Selection comes from a closed, finalized snapshot dataset, so eligibility cannot change.
Feline Points run on their own track: they remain attached to the credential and do not count toward Credential Points, Total GP, or Genesis leaderboard rank. Feline Ancestor is a recognition, not a shortcut to a higher rank.
Settlement
All Credential Points settle into maximum-locked ORVX. See Finalization & Claims for the post-campaign process.
