# UGC rewards

> Post about tokens on X and TikTok. Drive attention. Get paid from trading fees.

Post about a token on **X** or **TikTok**. If your content drives attention and volume, you earn a cut of that token's trading fees. That's UGC rewards.

This is separate from points, referrals, holder rewards, and treasury payouts — you can earn from all of them at the same time.

## How payouts work

Payouts run **every Friday at 12:00 PM PDT**. Here's what happens:

1. All eligible creators for a token are scored based on **impressions** and **referral-driven trading volume**.
2. The top **100 creators** per token share that week's UGC pool.
3. Payouts are automatic — they land in your wallet with no claim button needed.

Scoring blends reach with actual conversions. Early on, impressions matter more. As a token gains traction, the weight shifts toward referral volume. Posts that bring traders in will always earn more than posts that just get views.

<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>

<Tip>
  Reach gets you in the pool. Volume gets you a bigger share. Do both.
</Tip>

## Indexed vs eligible vs paid

These are three different things:

* **Indexed** — your post shows up in the feed (meets the tagging and minimum visibility rules)
* **Eligible** — you've linked your socials, hit the weekly impression threshold, and passed moderation
* **Paid** — the token is graduated, the pool has funds, and you're in the top 100 by score

Getting indexed does not guarantee eligibility. Eligibility does not guarantee a payout.

## Where to see it

Every token page has a **Feed** tab showing all indexed UGC content, plus aggregate stats — total views, likes, post count, and a CTA to start earning.

The feed itself is a masonry grid of TikTok and X posts. Filter by platform, creator type, time window, or sort by Featured, Newest, My Posts, or Most Impressions.
