# Earn UGC rewards

> Link your socials, tag your posts, and start earning from trading fees.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Link your socials">
    Connect **X** and/or verify **TikTok** in your ip.world profile settings. One account per platform. You can do this during onboarding or later.

  <Step title="Pin your referral link">

  </Step>

  <Step title="Post with the right tags">
    Tag your posts so the indexer picks them up. Each token page shows the exact tags to use.

    * **TikTok**: hashtag `#[ip_name]シ`
    * **X**: ticker `$TICKER`

  </Step>

  <Step title="Hit the impression threshold">
    Your posts need to generate enough engagement during the payout week to qualify:

    * **TikTok**: at least **1,000 new impressions** from 1+ videos (new or existing)
    * **X**: at least **500 new impressions** from 1+ new posts
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pass moderation">
    Spam, misleading content, or low-effort farming gets removed. Repeat offenders can be banned from all future payouts.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  The token must be **graduated** (past the bonding curve milestone) for UGC payouts to activate. Before graduation, posts get indexed but no fees are distributed.
</Warning>

## Check your status

On any token page, open the **Feed** tab. You'll see your indexed posts, whether they're eligible, and aggregate stats like views, likes, and post count.

## When you get paid

Payouts land **every Friday at 12:00 PM PDT** — automatically, no claim needed. The top 100 creators per token split that week's UGC pool, scored by impressions and referral-driven trading volume.
