Key Governance Participants: Oracle Network & Keyholders

The Oracle Network comprises a decentralized set of validators called “Oracles” and Keyholders who are responsible for powering the POGE system. The reputation system’s governance is led by Keyholders. Any KGEN community participant who holds KGEN tokens can purchase Genesis Keys. The Keyholders who have more than 200 Genesis Keys are eligible to become an Oracle. 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 (the consensus is supposed to be achieved through 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.
