Orenya FAQ

Question 1

What is Orenya?

Accepted Answer

Orenya is an AI commerce network. The flagship product is a shopping agent that finds products from natural language. Users can earn ORENYA by contributing verified training feedback that improves the agent.

Question 2

Do I need crypto knowledge to start?

Accepted Answer

You need an Ethereum wallet to earn and claim rewards. Shopping and training work through the website or desktop app; claiming uses MetaMask (or a compatible wallet) on Portfolio.

Question 3

How do I install the desktop app?

Accepted Answer

Use the install script from the site, or download from the homepage quickstart. The app connects to the Orenya agent API for Shop and Train modes.

Question 4

What are training rewards?

Accepted Answer

Orenya training rewards pay users in ORENYA for verified improvements to the shopping agent — correcting recommendations and completing training tasks. Connect a wallet, submit quality corrections, pass validation, then claim your share of the daily trainer pool (~28,767 ORENYA/day across all trainers) from Portfolio after each epoch closes. Earnings scale with contribution quality and competition that day — not a flat rate per task.

Question 5

How do I earn training rewards?

Accepted Answer

1. Connect and verify an Ethereum wallet.
2. Complete training tasks, or correct an agent recommendation (pick a better product and write a short rationale).
3. Pass validation (rules, quality checks, and peer review when required).
4. Earn work weight in the current daily epoch.
5. After the epoch settles, claim ORENYA from Portfolio.

Question 6

How much can I earn?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed payout per task. Trainers share a daily user pool (~28,767 ORENYA/day, 35% of daily emissions). Your amount is roughly: daily user pool × (your work weight ÷ total trainer weight that day). Higher-quality corrections and less competition that day mean a larger share.

Question 7

What affects my reward size?

Accepted Answer

Correction type (for example, fixing a wrong best match weighs more than a ranking tweak), validation quality score, how many other trainers contributed that day, and epoch difficulty — more verified work in the pool means less ORENYA per unit of weight.

Question 8

Do rejected submissions earn anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Rejected, spammy, incomplete, or wallet-less submissions earn 0.

Question 9

What is an epoch?

Accepted Answer

An epoch is a daily reward window (UTC). Work done during the day is scored together; when the epoch closes, allocations are settled and published for on-chain claim.

Question 10

Why do I need a wallet?

Accepted Answer

Your Ethereum address is your contributor ID for rewards, referrals, and on-chain claims. Verification is a free sign-message step (no gas). Claiming rewards requires a normal on-chain transaction (you pay gas).

Question 11

Where do I claim rewards?

Accepted Answer

Open Portfolio. After an epoch is published, claimable ORENYA appears there — claim with the same verified wallet.

Question 12

When will I see my tokens?

Accepted Answer

After the epoch closes and the Merkle root is published. Pending signup and referral bonuses are included in the next settled epoch. Claimed tokens appear in your wallet balance after the claim transaction confirms.

Question 13

Is claiming free?

Accepted Answer

No. Claiming is an on-chain transaction; you pay Ethereum gas. Wallet verification (sign message) does not cost gas.

Question 14

What is the referral program?

Accepted Answer

Orenya referral rewards pay users in ORENYA for bringing new trainers into the network. Share your Portfolio invite link; when a friend verifies a new wallet, you earn 15 ORENYA plus 2% of their training rewards for 10 epochs, while they get a 5% boost on theirs. One invite per wallet and IP — no self-referral. Bonuses settle into the next epoch and are claimed on-chain from Portfolio like normal training rewards.

Question 15

Where do I find my referral link?

Accepted Answer

In Portfolio under Referral. Copy your invite link or code and share it.

Question 16

When does a referral count?

Accepted Answer

When the invited person verifies a wallet through the site or desktop app with your code attached (from opening your link). Shopping alone without wallet verify does not qualify.

Question 17

Can I refer myself?

Accepted Answer

No. Self-referral, duplicate wallets, and the same network/IP reusing invites are blocked.

Question 18

Do referral bonuses replace training rewards?

Accepted Answer

No. Referral bonuses are extra. You still earn training rewards for your own verified work.

Question 19

How does validation work?

Accepted Answer

Contributions are checked in layers: structural rules (for example, the product was actually shown), behavioral rules (dwell time, rate limits, wallet), semantic quality review, and peer review when needed. Only approved work earns weight.

Question 20

Why was my contribution rejected?

Accepted Answer

Common reasons: rationale too short or generic, submitted too fast, product wasn't in the shown list, rate limits, missing wallet, or spam-like text. Improve the rationale and follow the task carefully.

Question 21

What is peer review?

Accepted Answer

Other verified users can review pending contributions. Reviewers who match the final outcome can earn from the validator pool (separate from the trainer pool).

Question 22

What does the shopping agent do?

Accepted Answer

It turns natural-language shopping requests into structured intent, searches a product catalog, scores candidates with transparent rules, and recommends products — with a step-by-step reasoning stream you can inspect.

Question 23

Does the agent get smarter from my training?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Approved corrections feed preference learning (similar future queries can boost human-preferred picks) and build a trajectory dataset for longer-term model improvement. Catalog data still comes from the marketplace search API; what improves is shopper logic.

Question 24

Who can run an agent (miner)?

Accepted Answer

Anyone can use the open commerce-agent SDK to connect a catalog API and run an agent. Miner emissions (40% of the daily reward pool) are reserved for attested agent operators as that network layer rolls out. See the developer guide.
