$Neurons
Overview
Version: 1.0.0 Last Updated: September 2025
What is Neurons Protocol?
Neurons Protocol is a blockchain-based reward system that gives users NEURONS tokens for learning, completing tasks, and demonstrating knowledge. Think of it as getting paid cryptocurrency for studying, taking quizzes, or completing AI-powered challenges.
How It Works (Simple Version)
You Learn → Complete courses, quizzes, or AI tasks on our platform
You Prove → The system verifies you actually did the work
You Earn → Receive NEURONS tokens as rewards
You Use → Spend or trade your tokens across different blockchains
The Three Core Systems
🪙 NEURONS Token
What it is: A digital currency (ERC-20 token) with a fixed supply of 10 million tokens
Key features:
Limited supply (no infinite printing)
Can be paused in emergencies
Supports gasless transactions (Permit)
Works across multiple blockchains
Think of it as: Digital points that have real value and can be traded
🔐 Proof-of-Knowledge (PoK)
What it is: A system that verifies you actually completed learning tasks
How it works:
You complete a task (quiz, course, AI challenge)
Our system creates a digital "proof" of your work
Smart contracts verify this proof and mint tokens to you
Think of it as: A digital certificate that automatically pays you when verified
🎯 Learn-to-Win (L2W)
What it is: The gamified learning platform where you earn rewards
Features:
Courses and educational content
Quizzes and knowledge tests
AI-powered challenges
Progressive difficulty levels
Daily and weekly challenges
Think of it as: A learning game where your progress earns real cryptocurrency
Complete User Journey
Step 1: Join the Platform
Sign up for the Learn-to-Win platform
Connect your crypto wallet (MetaMask, etc.)
Choose your learning path
Step 2: Start Learning
Take courses on topics you're interested in
Complete quizzes to test your knowledge
Participate in AI-powered challenges
Track your progress and streaks
Step 3: Earn Rewards
Each completed task earns you points
More difficult tasks = higher rewards
Maintaining learning streaks = bonus rewards
Special events may offer multiplied rewards
Step 4: Receive Tokens
The platform creates a secure proof of your work
This proof is sent to blockchain smart contracts
Contracts verify the proof and mint NEURONS tokens to your wallet
You receive tokens instantly and automatically
Step 5: Use Your Tokens
Hold tokens as an investment
Trade on cryptocurrency exchanges
Transfer between different blockchains
Use in future platform features (staking, governance, etc.)
Safety and Security Features
Anti-Fraud Protections
Cooldown periods: Can't farm rewards too quickly
Daily limits: Maximum tokens you can earn per day
Unique proofs: Each learning session creates a unique, one-time proof
Expiring proofs: Proofs expire to prevent replay attacks
Emergency Controls
Pause mechanism: Can halt all token transfers during emergencies
Rate limiting: Prevents abuse and maintains token value
Trusted signers: Only authorized systems can create valid proofs
Multi-Chain Security
Secure bridges: Safe token transfers between blockchains
Burn and mint: Preferred method that destroys tokens on one chain while creating them on another
Trusted networks: Only whitelisted blockchains are supported
Technical Benefits (For Advanced Users)
Scalability

Public metrics and statistics
Reward Economics
How Rewards Are Calculated
Difficulty-based: Harder tasks give more tokens
Time-based: Longer courses may offer higher rewards
Consistency bonuses: Daily streaks increase multipliers
Quality scores: Better performance = better rewards
Token Distribution
Learning rewards: Primary source through PoK system
Maximum supply: 10 million tokens total
Controlled inflation: New tokens only created through verified learning
Deflationary features: Tokens can be burned to reduce supply
Economic Incentives
Early adopters: Higher rewards for early platform users
Rare achievements: Special bonuses for completing difficult challenges
Community contribution: Rewards for creating or curating content
