How it works
Submit replies, vote on approved entries, and earn SOL from each round's published reward pool.
01. Find an open round
Each round has one featured X post, a brief, a published reward pool, and a schedule. Connect your X identity with Privy, link a Solana wallet by signing a message, and choose that wallet for payouts.
02. Submit your reply
Reply or quote the featured post on X, then submit your post link and its text here. You can submit up to five entries per round. Only your own content is eligible. Entries must address the round's featured post; unrelated posts, copied replies, fabricated links, and spam are rejected.
The team reviews entries in batches. A submission stays private until approved. Reviewers check the live X post, authorship, relevance, and quality. Pasted text and the handle in a URL do not establish ownership on their own.
03. Vote after submissions close
Voting opens after the submission and review windows. Each participant with at least one approved entry receives one equal ballot with up to three picks. Pick distinct entries, and don't vote for yourself. More submissions do not grant more votes. You can update your ballot until the deadline.
04. Receive your payout
After voting and the results review window, the team finalizes the allocations and sends SOL to the wallet saved with each winning submission. Only the highest-ranked entry per author can earn in a round. Confirmed payouts include a public Solana transaction receipt.
The first three ranks receive 40%, 24%, and 16% of the published pool. Ranks four through ten split the remaining 20% equally across seven fixed slots. Unfilled shares and rounding dust stay in the treasury; zero-vote entries do not win. Ties go to the earlier submitted entry, then its stable entry ID. These rules apply to published rounds and cannot be changed mid-round.
Rewards are paid manually after finalization. There is no automated token distribution or vesting in this first version. A connected wallet does not authorize spending.
Common questions
Do I need $REPLY to enter or vote?
No. Entry is free, and v1 uses equal participant ballots. You need a linked X identity and Solana payout wallet to submit. A low follower count does not disqualify you.
Can I submit a quote instead of a reply?
Yes. Both replies and quote posts are eligible when they reference the round's featured post and meet its brief.
Why isn't my entry public yet?
All entries enter a private review queue. Check your entry status on the round page while signed in. Rejections include a reason. Reviews must finish before voting opens.
How do I flag a suspicious entry?
Use the report form on the round page before the results review window closes. Include the entry link and what should be checked. Reports are visible only to moderators.
What if there are fewer than ten winners?
Eligible winners keep their rank's fixed allocation. The unfilled allocations remain in the treasury. If nobody receives a vote, there are no winning allocations.
Can my project open its own vault?
Community-funded vaults for other projects are planned for part two. The first release runs $REPLY's own rounds.
