Only Filecoin Pay payment rails denominated in FIL are eligible for DC allocation via Autocap.
AutoCap defines economic contribution narrowly and precisely.
During an active round, registered participants generate contributions by burning FIL through the settlement of Filecoin Pay payment rails.
AutoCap does not track generic payments, transfers, or intermediate obligations. Contribution is observed only at settlement, when accumulated payment obligations are finalized on-chain and result in FIL being burned.
Valid Contribution Conditions
A FIL burn is counted toward a participant’s contribution only if all of the following hold:
The burn originates from a registered Participant Burn Address
The burn results from the settlement of a Filecoin Pay payment rail
The settlement is denominated in FIL (not in USFDC or other tokens)
The settlement is finalized on-chain
The settlement occurs within the active round window
Only FIL that is actually burned as part of settlement is included in AutoCap’s accounting.
Excluded Activity
The following do not count toward contribution:
Unsettled or partially settled rails
Pending obligations that have not been finalized
Reverted or failed settlement transactions
Payments or transfers that do not result in FIL burn
Activity originating from non-registered addresses
Activity occurring outside the round window
Activity denominated in assets other than FIL
Note on Future Refinements
Future versions of AutoCap may further constrain contribution accounting to include only Filecoin Pay settlements that can be directly linked to sealed storage sectors (e.g. PoRep-backed storage deals).
