# Events

Our work consists, in the first instance, in **defining** a series of parameters to determine the power of a project, and in the second instance, **searching for** and identifying them.

## How does events affect currencies?

Depending on the event type

### Event Attributes

* Event Weight
  * Each positive event adds an X amount of points.
  * Each negative event substract an X amount of points.
* Event Duration
  * Permanent Events: Points are not lost over time.
  * Temporal Events: Points are lost over time.

## Event Weights Decrease

As described above, events assign points that can be permanent or temporary. In the case of temporary events, it means that they are progressively lost in time.

### How do projects lose points?

Depends on several factors, one of the most important is the **Project Age**

Positive points are progressively eliminated according to the age of the project, following an exponential decay formula

In the case of negative event points, they are eliminated according to a fixed daily rate, for all cases.
