As Inertia enters Stage 4, we’re excited to share a series of key updates to our VIP scoring system and core protocol parameters. The following changes are designed to reward long-term engagement, expand participation, and enhance capital efficiency across the Inertia and Initia ecosystems.

These changes are reflected from some of the old criteria as referenced here:

**The following outlines the detailed changes:**

**1. VIP Score Mechanism - No more manual action needed**  
[Before] Manual updates required via “Update VIP Score” button  
[Now] Fully automated score updates starting Stage 4

Detail: Up until Stage 3, users who are earning VIP rewards through Inertia needed to manually update their VIP score by clicking the “Update VIP Score” button on the Inertia web app. **Starting from Stage 4, this process will be automated.**

_※ The Inertia team has decided to retrospectively compensate users who did not receive rewards from previous stages. Eligible rewards will be calculated for distribution once the technical implementation is in place._

**2. Scoring Model : Time weighted scoring**  
[Before] Based on asset type and size only  
[Now] Includes time-weighted scoring

Detail: VIP scores will now factor in how long assets stay in Inertia rather than just types and sizes of utilized assets. This not only rewards heavy usage, but also rewards those who have long-term vision and utility of the Inertia platform. **Simply put: Longer your participation = Higher your score.**

Both updates will go live with **VIP Stage 4.** We’re excited to enter this new phase and build stronger momentum with the Initia ecosystem.

time-weighted scoring is definitely a good one 👍

Thank you for the update.

This has been reviewed and approved by the vip committee.

It would be nice to see the math you’re using to calculate a users time weighted score. Can you provide this here?

Sure.  
The math is as follows:

**Official VIP Score Calculation Formulas**

**VIP Score earned per second from Supplying:**  
_VIP Score/sec (INIT Supply) = (Total INIT Supplied\_{previous stage} × 4) / 1,209,600_  
_VIP Score/sec (sINIT Supply) = (Total sINIT Supplied\_{previous stage} × 4) / 1,209,600_

**VIP Score earned per second from Borrowing:**  
_VIP Score/sec (INIT Borrow) = (Total INIT Borrowed\_{previous stage} × 2) / 1,209,600_  
_VIP Score/sec (sINIT Borrow) = (Total sINIT Borrowed\_{previous stage} × 2) / 1,209,600_

Note: All “Total Amounts” refer explicitly to values recorded at the end of the previous stage. 1,209,600 seconds represent the total duration of a two-week stage.
