How to get PWM

PWM is earned by contributing — improving or creating physics artifacts. It's never sold. Here's the whole loop, start to finish.

The loop

1. 1

   Ask the agent

   Type what you're interested in (e.g. MRI, sparse-view CT). The agent returns clickable links to matching Principles, Digital Twins, Benchmarks, and Solutions. Free — no login needed to browse.

2. 2

   Open an artifact

   Click a link to jump to that exact artifact page and read it.

3. 3

   Modify it — or create a new one

   Edit an existing artifact, or author a brand-new Principle / Digital Twin / Benchmark / Solution. (Log in to do this.)

4. 4

   Submit

   An automated quality gate (Claude S1–S4 review) checks it in seconds. Sound contributions are accepted; junk is rejected.

5. 5

   Earn PWM

   On acceptance you're credited PWM immediately — then you can spend it. PWM is a utility credit, not an investment.

How much PWM?

The reward isn't a fixed number — it's set by the protocol's emission equation, so the amount depends on the live pool and difficulty. Two things to know:

• • Create new earns a larger share than modifying an existing artifact.
• • Earlier contributions earn more — the pool shrinks as PWM is minted, so the same work is worth more the sooner you do it.
• • Harder artifacts (higher difficulty δ, inherited from the parent principle) carry more weight.

The exact emission model is in the white paper (Part II). We show the equation, not a promised amount.
