RootScore™ is RippleRoot's proprietary scoring system that tracks and verifies every user contribution — solar panels, EV chargers, volunteer hours, donations, and other green actions — into a single transparent score. Higher RootScore™ improves your community leaderboard rank and can unlock marketplace benefits. This guide explains exactly how it works for US and Canadian homeowners.
Every verified good or green deed on RippleRoot adds points to your RootScore™. Points are awarded after admin (or community partner) review of the proof you submit. Once approved, points are credited to your account, tokens are sent to your connected wallet, and your updated score appears on the community leaderboard.
The system is designed for transparency and accountability: only verified actions count. This keeps the score meaningful and protects the integrity of the rewards.
Create a free account — Sign up at RippleRoot and complete identity verification (valid ID or driver's license plus a selfie).
Connect a wallet — Use a VeChain-compatible wallet such as VeWorld so you can receive tokens after approval.
Choose a deed — Install solar panels, add a home EV charger, complete volunteer hours, make a donation, or take another supported sustainable action.
Submit proof — Upload clear photos, receipts, certificates, or other documentation that demonstrates the action.
Wait for verification — The review team checks authenticity. Most complete submissions move through review efficiently.
Receive points and tokens — Approved actions add to your RootScore™ and trigger token rewards to your wallet.
Track progress — Check the leaderboard and your profile to see your rank and cumulative impact.
Repeating steps 3–6 with different deeds compounds your score over time.
Supported contribution types include:
Solar panel installation — Verified home solar systems
Home EV charging stations — Especially Level 2 (240V) installations
Volunteer hours — Environmental, community, education, health, and related categories (default rate often 80 points per hour; some opportunities set custom rates)
Donations — Verified charitable or community contributions
Other sustainable living actions — As listed on the platform (for example organic farming, recycling initiatives, or green transport where supported)
Exact point values can vary by scale, documentation quality, and opportunity rules. Always review the specific opportunity or submission form for current details.
US homeowners can grow RootScore™ through practical home upgrades and community service:
Document solar or EV charger installations with installer invoices, permits, and clear photos of the finished work
Keep utility or state rebate paperwork as optional context (these programs are separate from RippleRoot rewards)
Use a licensed electrician for electrical work — this supports both safety and credible proof
Combine home infrastructure deeds with local volunteering for faster score growth
Check the Volunteer Opportunities board for nearby tasks that award points
RippleRoot does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice. Federal or state incentives change over time; verify current rules with official sources.
Canadian homeowners follow a similar path, with provincial variations in permitting and utility programs:
Work with licensed electrical contractors and retain inspection or safety authority documentation when required
Photograph installations thoroughly and keep dated invoices
Explore provincial or utility programs for hardware support — these remain independent of RootScore™ points
Look for community partner opportunities in your province on the volunteer board
Winter-friendly mounting and clear photo evidence help with charger and outdoor project submissions
Again, government and utility incentives are separate from platform rewards.
Submit complete documentation — Multiple clear photos plus receipts reduce review questions
Act soon after the deed — Fresh proof is easier to verify
Stack complementary actions — Solar + EV charger + volunteer hours compounds impact
Stay consistent — Regular small contributions build rank over time
Monitor the leaderboard — Visibility can motivate continued participation and unlock platform benefits such as marketplace discounts
RootScore™ is RippleRoot's proprietary impact scoring system. It aggregates verified user contributions (solar installations, EV chargers, volunteer hours, donations, and other green deeds) into a transparent community score. The score determines leaderboard ranking and can enable marketplace discounts based on demonstrated community impact. Only admin- or partner-verified actions add points.
Traditional recognition for good deeds is often informal or one-off. RootScore™ turns verified real-world impact into a persistent, comparable metric. For homeowners this means:
Tangible recognition for investments already made in solar, charging, or community service
Crypto token rewards tied to verified actions
Public ranking that encourages continued participation
Potential platform benefits (such as marketplace discounts) linked to higher scores
The result is a feedback loop: more verified good deeds → higher RootScore™ → greater visibility and rewards → more incentive to keep contributing.
Is RootScore™ the same as RootMetrics RootScore?
No. RootScore™ is RippleRoot's community impact scoring system for verified good and green deeds. It is unrelated to mobile network performance scores from other companies.
Do I need crypto experience to start?
No. You can create an account, submit proof, and set up a free VeWorld (or other VeChain-compatible) wallet after signup. The platform is designed for homeowners with moderate or no prior crypto knowledge.
How long does verification take?
Timing depends on submission volume and completeness. Clear photos and full documentation usually move faster. Many reviews complete within a few business days.
Can renters earn RootScore™ points?
Yes, if they can provide clear proof of a qualifying action (for example landlord-permitted EV charger use or volunteer work). Permission documentation helps for installation-based deeds.
Are points and tokens the same thing?
Points contribute to your RootScore™ and leaderboard standing. Tokens are the crypto rewards sent to your connected wallet after approval. Both result from verified deeds.
Does RippleRoot cost money to use?
No. Individual and business registration and basic participation are free.
Start with any verified good or green deed you have already completed — or plan your next one. Gather photos and receipts, create your free account, and submit. Every approved action strengthens your RootScore™ and helps grow a community that rewards real climate and community impact.
