A little clarity.
A lot of KNOTS.
Connect once. Participate weekly. Understand what counts.
Getting a place
The first 500 X accounts with Premium or Premium+ and at least 50 verified followers can activate campaign participation when registration opens. X Basic does not qualify. We check your subscription and your own verified follower count through X at activation; unavailable details cannot qualify. You can still create an account and see your saved X profile and the reason for deactivation. Deactivated accounts do not reserve a campaign place. After signing in, use Check eligibility in your profile for your first check and to activate participation after meeting the requirements. Checks are limited to once every 24 hours per account, including attempts that reach X but fail. Signing in preserves your saved eligibility. Existing participants keep their place if their subscription or follower count later changes. Wallet and Telegram are optional. There is no holder gate. Inactive and suspended accounts retain their place until a slot-reuse policy is announced.
What we discover
Original posts and quote posts containing $KNOTS are discovered automatically during each weekly round, after registration. The exact KNOTS mint address also qualifies. No @mention or extra hashtag is required.
For threads, only a qualifying root post is measured. Thread replies, standalone replies, repost actions and individual likes are not scored in this release. Aggregate engagement counts cannot identify who performed an action.
Preview scoring
Each original post earns floor(√observed views × 100) view points, plus floor(min(100, likes + 2 × replies + 2 × reposts + 2 × quotes) × 1) engagement points. Quotes multiply each component by 0.2 before rounding down.
The highest-scoring 5 qualifying posts per participant per campaign-local day count. Equal post scores are decided by earlier publication, then stable post ID. The official @KnotsOnStonk account is excluded from the competition. Identical normalized text from the same author counts once. Edit versions are one contribution. Missing metrics stay pending; they are not replaced with zero. Admins may exclude posts or suspend participants with a recorded reason.
When numbers change
Discovery provides provisional scores. For the current measurement policy, each eligible candidate receives one further observation at or after 48 hours of age, then its measured metrics are held. The best posts are selected again using those observations. A day stays provisional until discovery covers the whole day and all its eligible candidates have complete measurements. Missing metrics, failures and budget pauses delay settlement; age alone never settles a score. The scheduler targets a run every 30 minutes, but can be delayed. Counts reflect the actual observation time, not an exact historical 48-hour snapshot or verified unique reach. Collection gaps stay visible, and no finalization or inactivity decision is made while coverage is incomplete.
Weekly participation
Active accounts enter automatically. A full week without a qualifying post can make an account inactive only after complete, verified collection. New members are not judged on a partial first week. During this preview, automatic finalization and inactivity remain paused until closing measurements and deletion checks are verified.
STONK rewards
Campaign payouts are disabled. There is no announced funded reward pool, guaranteed payment, or custom payout contract. These campaigns are separate from the holder rewards described on the coin website.
