Key Governance Participants: Oracle Network & Keyholders

A Keyholder is a participant in the PoG network who has purchased cryptographic keys. These keys allow the Keyholder to delegate their staked value to a specific Oracle operator without assuming control over the Oracle itself. By doing so, the Keyholder increases the Oracle's total stake, indirectly benefiting from the Oracle's performance and share of rewards while retaining their stake value.

Oracles play a dual role in the ecosystem:

• Validators – They aggregate, validate, and score user-level actions across the network, ensuring that every POGE score reflects real, verifiable behaviour.

• Consensus Coordinators – Through participation in on-chain consensus (where the consensus is achieved by 67% of the Oracles validating the score), they help manage scoring logic, dispute resolution, and airdrop qualification criteria.

To recognise the contribution of Keyholders and Oracles, they are rewarded with $KGEN tokens. This ensures the reputation system’s governance is tightly intertwined with the token.
