Genesis tiers distinguish stacked rewards from fresh rankings
The Phase 2 leaderboard notice said rewards from Phase 1 and Phase 2 would stack, while describing a fresh start for the new phase's rankings. It also announced 150 points for the daily Vanguard mint starting on day 30. Stacked rewards and a reset ranking are different rules: the notice does not say that all points from both phases are simply added into one unchanged table. For participation analysis, the mint-point change is an incentive adjustment, not evidence that the underlying network's organic demand increased.
