Concepts
Section titled “Concepts”Boon has five load-bearing concepts:
- Canonical handles: one normalized social identity string per recipient.
- Escrow vs push: cold handles accrue escrow; linked handles receive direct pushes.
- OAuth claim flow: recipients prove GitHub or X ownership before linking.
- OWS agent wallet: agents spend only from a small, policy-scoped wallet.
- Data layer (subgraph): how onchain events become the board, points, profile, and graph reads.
If you only remember one thing: Boon is not a payroll system or autonomous payout bot. It is retroactive gratitude with visible receipts, explicit approval, and small bounded USDC transfers on Base.
