(KOII)

Koii is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) and a Layer 1 blockchain called K2. It enables users to earn rewards by contributing spare computing power and "attention" to various tasks. The native KOII token is used for network transaction fees, as staking collateral required to run nodes and validate tasks, and as an incentive for node operators and content creators. Additionally, tokens are necessary to activate specific node capabilities within the ecosystem.

Running a node does not require a high-end computer; a standard laptop or a Virtual Private Server (VPS) is usually sufficient. To begin, users download the official Koii Desktop App for Windows, Mac, or Linux, create a wallet, and select tasks to perform. While mobile support is a future objective, the current focus is on desktop operations. If a node appears idle, users should ensure they have enough KOII for gas fees and that the application is active in the system tray.

While some tasks are free, many require a small stake (typically 2–10 KOII) to ensure honest behavior. Koii uses a Staking Multiplier system where locking tokens for longer durations, such as 6 to 12 months, increases your share of the reward pool. Rewards are calculated per task cycle or "epoch" and become available for claim once task consensus is reached. Note that "points" often seen in early phases are leaderboard metrics used to determine future token eligibility.

The Finnie Wallet is the native browser extension for the Koii Network, which can be synced with the Desktop Node via a seed phrase. The network utilizes a two-key security architecture: a "Main" key for transaction fees and gas, and a "Staking" key for tokens locked in tasks. This separation ensures security while allowing nodes to operate. Users must always maintain a small amount of KOII in their Main wallet to cover the gas fees required to claim rewards.

Airdrop eligibility is typically verified through official project channels. Allocations are determined by the Proof of Real Traffic (PoRT) algorithm, which is designed to filter out bots and reward high-quality contributions. Factors influencing the amount of tokens received include consistent uptime, unique contributions, and the quality of tasks performed. Users are cautioned to only use official links for claims to avoid phishing scams and protect their assets.

Koii tasks run in a "sandbox" environment, which is designed to prevent them from accessing personal files on your device, though cautious users may prefer using a dedicated machine. "Slashing," or the loss of staked tokens, is generally reserved for malicious activity or attempts to cheat the system. Accidental downtime or hardware crashes typically do not result in slashing. It is recommended to keep approximately 5–10 KOII in your wallet to cover account rent and operational gas fees.
