How you get paid

Four things
get counted

We count what the X API can see, never what anyone says they did. The four numbers and what each is worth go up before the shift starts, so you know what the work pays before you do it.

What a payout looks like

One shift, settled to the last decimal

Twelve hours of posting on one coin, counted and paid out. Add the column up yourself — it comes to the pot.

Points = views×1 + replies×4 + quotes×6 + posts×12. Your share of the points is your share of the pot.

Nothing here has happened — it is how a shift settles, not a coin that ran.

The pot in this example is 12.000 SOL. A pot is whatever is actually in it — creator fees flowing in while you work, or SOL put up front before anyone starts.

What we count

Views on your posts, capped per post so one lucky post cannot take the whole shift.

The rules that trip people up

Posts made before a coin is listed are worth zero, however good they were. A window you can back-date is a window people will back-date, so the clock starts when the coin does and not a minute earlier.
