> "Before spending time collecting points, I want to understand what they actually represent.

For 
@vangrid_io
, the current docs draw a clear distinction. Points measure contribution and do not convert into $VAN. Bounty payments are separate, and earning one depends on the requester"

> **Visual Note:** A black slide compares two systems, "PTC" (Contribution score, Not money, No confirmed conversion) versus "$VAN" (Verify, Settle, Fee discount, Stake can be slashed, Not live yet, USDC today), credited to "@vangrid_io".  

> 
> "People are stacking PTC on 
@vangrid_io
 like it’s already $VAN

It isn’t

PTC is a score.
Rank. Contribution. Nothing else.

The docs never promised a conversion

$VAN is the operating asset: stake it to verify, lose it if the attestation is wrong, settle a bounty when the capture"
