September 2026: Scout Incentives, Hyperliquid Support & Curate Updates
September expands Scout incentive coverage with Hyperliquid. In this article we are also going to cover 2 additional topics:
- The Kleros Verified registries displayed on the Curate homepages have been all moved on Light Curate.
- A reminder that Kleros Skills are available for contributors who want to delegate Scout submission workflows to AI agents.
1. Incentives
Explorer Tagging Requirement for ATR and Token Submissions
To be eligible for rewards, entries submitted to the Address Tag Registry or Kleros Token Registry must not already be tagged on the reference block explorer for the corresponding chain.
Before submitting, check the following explorers:
- Ethereum Mainnet → etherscan.io
- Avalanche C-Chain → snowscan.xyz
- Celo → celoscan.io
- Base → basescan.org
- Linea → lineascan.build
- Solana → solscan.io
- Arbitrum One → arbiscan.io
- OP Mainnet → optimistic.etherscan.io
- Polygon → polygonscan.com
- MegaETH → mega.etherscan.io
- Gnosis → gnosis.blockscout.com
- zkSync → zksync.blockscout.com
- Robinhood Chain → robinhoodchain.blockscout.com
- Hyperliquid / HyperEVM → hyperevmscan.io
Hyperliquid Added to Scout Incentives
Starting in September, Hyperliquid / HyperEVM is included among the chains eligible for Scout incentives.
Contributors can now discover and submit eligible HyperEVM contracts, tokens and addresses to the Scout registries.
Before submitting an entry, contributors should check:
Entries that are already tagged there will not be eligible for Scout incentives.
As with the other supported networks, entries that are already tagged can still be submitted to Scout. If they comply with the relevant registry policy, they can be accepted and contribute to strengthening the Scout database, but they will not receive an incentive reward.
Note: Contract Domain Name Registry entries are not subject to the explorer tagging requirement.
2. Incentive Parameters
The incentive pools, caps and formulas remain unchanged for September.
Address Tag Registry
Pool: 100,000 PNK
- 93,000 PNK for successful submissions
- 7,000 PNK for successful removals
- Maximum reward per successful submission: 500 PNK
- Maximum reward per successful removal: 500 PNK
ERC-20, ERC-721 and EIP-1167 submissions remain excluded from incentives. However, they are still accepted when they comply with the registry policy.
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
Kleros Token Registry
Pool: 100,000 PNK
- 93,000 PNK for successful submissions
- 7,000 PNK for successful removals
- Maximum reward per successful submission: 500 PNK
- Maximum reward per successful removal: 500 PNK
Solana tokens must have at least 5,000 holders to be eligible for incentives.
Submissions:
reward_per_submission = ((token_tx / total_txns_with_all_contracts) * 0.1 * reward_pool) + ((sqrt(token_tx) / sum_sqrt_total_txns_with_all_contracts) * 0.9 * reward_pool)
Removals:
reward_per_removal = reward_pool / total_removals
Contract Domain Name Registry
Pool: 100,000 PNK
- 93,000 PNK for successful submissions
- 7,000 PNK for successful removals
- Maximum reward per successful submission: 500 PNK
- Maximum reward per successful removal: 500 PNK
All compliant submissions are eligible for rewards.
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
Address Tag Queries
Submissions pool: 60,000 PNK
- Maximum reward per successful submission: 3,000 PNK
Removals pool: 6,500 PNK
- Maximum reward per successful removal: 500 PNK
Eligible chains: All
The formula applies to both submissions and removals:
reward = reward_pool / successful_requests
Transaction Data Refinements
Solana normalization: Solana transaction counts are adjusted to make them more comparable with EVM chains and prevent inflated activity from dominating the reward distribution.
Failed transaction filtering: Failed transactions are excluded and are not counted as successful contract activity.
3. Kleros Verified Registries Move to Light Curate
The homepages of curate.kleros.io on both Gnosis and Ethereum Mainnet have been updated.
The Kleros Verified registries displayed there are now all based on Light Curate. Going forward, new verified lists will also be created and managed through Light Curate, including the list-creation process itself.
As a result, the registries displayed on the Curate homepages now have new contract addresses.
If you interact with these registries directly, have integrated their contracts, or have saved the previous registries in your bookmarks, make sure to use the new addresses:
- Gnosis: 0x2418D887d0d0Fe03b793A6aF4321fa488226A0b5
- Ethereum Mainnet: 0x2aCF59a420cA888f46d46974f62570F8a38Cd4Da
Going forward, we will focus on the most-used registries and only 2 Curate options
- Traditional Curate (Light Curate)
- Stake Curate (PGTCR)
4. Reminder: Kleros Skills
A quick reminder for contributors: Kleros Skills are available to help AI agents interact with Scout and Curate.
Instead of manually handling the complete submission process, an agent can use the Curate skills to research candidates, check explorer tags, review registry requirements, prepare metadata and complete onchain submissions.
This makes Scout contribution workflows easier to automate and repeat across supported chains.
You can find the available skills at:
TL;DR
- Scout incentive pools, caps and formulas remain unchanged for September.
- Hyperliquid / HyperEVM is now eligible for Scout incentives.
- HyperEVM submissions must be checked against hyperevmscan.io.
- The Kleros Verified registries shown on the Gnosis and Mainnet Curate homepages are now on Light Curate, with new contract addresses.
- New verified lists will also be created and managed through Light Curate.
- Kleros Skills remain available for contributors who want to automate Scout and Curate submission workflows with AI agents.
