Attention, Curators!

For October, we’re keeping the core incentive structure from August and September while introducing two key updates:

Linea is now included as an eligible chain.
CDN Registry: every compliant entry will be eligible for rewards, regardless of transaction activity. Block explorer tagging is not considered.

TL;DR

Linea is now eligible for rewards.
CDN Registry: every compliant entry will be eligible for rewards.
Single-Tag Registries incentives unchanged: 100,000 PNK each, with 7,000 PNK to removals. Submission/Removal caps unchanged: 500 PNK.
ATQ incentives unchanged: 60,000 PNK for submissions (max cap per submission: 3,000 PNK), 6,500 PNK for removals (max cap per removal: 500 PNK).
Submissions are counted from Oct 1, 2025 (UTC).

1. New Eligible Chain: Linea

We’re expanding chain coverage to include Linea, ensuring broader metadata support across the ecosystem.

Eligible Chains (October 2025): Ethereum Mainnet, Linea, Avalanche C-Chain, zkSync, Scroll, Gnosis, Celo, Base, Solana, Arbitrum One, OP Mainnet.

2. CDN Registry: Rewarding All Compliant Entries

In the CDN Registry, every compliant submission is now rewarded. Unlike other registries, CDN entries are not subject to the Explorer tagging requirement.

3. ATR, Token Registry and CDN Registry Incentives Recap

Explorer Tagging Requirement
To be eligible for rewards, entries in the Address Tag Registry and Token Registry must not already be tagged in the relevant Etherscan-family explorer:

Avalanche C-Chain → snowscan.xyz
zkSync → era.zksync.network
Scroll → scrollscan.com
Gnosis → gnosisscan.io
Celo → celoscan.io
Base → basescan.org
Linea → lineascan.build
Solana → solscan.io
Arbitrum One → arbiscan.io
OP Mainnet → optimistic.etherscan.io

(CDN entries are not subject to this requirement.)

Registries (Address Tag, Token, CDN) Monthly Rewards Pools

Address Tag Registry: 100,000 PNK (of which 7,000 PNK to Removal Requests)
- Submissions of ERC20, ERC721, and EIP-1167 are not eligible for rewards.
Token Registry: 100,000 PNK (of which 7,000 PNK to Removal Requests)
- Solana tokens: require at least 5,000 holders to get rewarded.
CDN Registry: 100,000 PNK (of which 7,000 PNK to Removal Requests)
- All registry-compliant entries are rewarded.
Maximum reward per successful submission: 500 PNK
Maximum reward per successful removal: 500 PNK

Formulas

Submissions :

reward_per_submission = reward_pool * ((1 / (2 * total_submissions)) + (txns_with_contract / (2 * total_txns_with_all_contracts)))

Removals :

reward_per_removal = reward_pool / total_removals

Reminder: Reward eligibility and Registry compliance
Even if your entry isn’t eligible for rewards, don’t worry! If it meets the policy criteria, it will still be accepted into the registry. We are happy to welcome all the projects!

4. Address Tag Queries (ATQ) Incentives Recap

Submissions Reward Pool: 60,000 PNK
- Maximum Reward per successful submission: 3000 PNK
Removals Reward Pool: 6,500 PNK
- Maximum Reward per successful removal: 500 PNK

Formula for both Submissions and Removals Requests

reward = reward_pool / successful_requests

Eligible Chains: All.

Note: We know the ATQ registry has experienced some downtime lately. We’re happy to share that testing with the new indexer is complete! The ATQ registry will be back online in the coming days.

October Incentives will be distributed in the first days of the next month (November).
