Earning points on X
Airdrop points are anchored to real money spent, which is what stops the distribution being owned by whoever runs the most bots. It also means the only way to earn was to buy. Earning on X is the one path that does not require spending anything, and it is bounded tightly enough that it does not reopen the door the anchor closed.
Where the posts come from
The feed is not a content calendar somebody fills in. Firms here run without a marketing team, and the posts you're being paid to amplify are generated by things that actually happened on-chain: a payout delivered, a trader funded, someone's first payout, an unusually large trade, a win streak, a lifetime-payout milestone, a liquidity milestone, a curve . The copy comes from the operator's own pre-approved template with live values filled in at post time, and the payout certificate attached where there is one.
That is the point of paying you to amplify it. A firm's most credible advertisement is a real payout, and the most credible person to carry it is a trader with a real account rather than the firm's own marketing account. The autonomous firm covers where this sits among everything else that runs without staff.
How it works
Connect your X account on the airdrop page and the feed fills with posts from your firm and from DecentralProp. Engaging with a post from that feed earns points, because the action is performed through the protocol on your behalf rather than reported by you. Nothing here runs on screenshots or an honour system: the record is an action that provably happened on X.
| Action | Points | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Like | 0.25 | Once per post |
| Repost | 0.5 | Once per post |
| Quote | 0.75 | Once per post |
| Reply | 1 | Once per post |
| Follow your firm, and DecentralProp | 2 each | Once each, for life |
| Streak at 3, 7, 14 and 30 consecutive days | 1, 3, 6, 15 | Once each, for life |
A quote pays more than a repost because it is a post on your own timeline carrying your own take, and it costs you the same thing a reply costs: having something to say. The composer prompts you for an angle rather than handing you a draft to paste, which is also why the same three words posted under every trade tends not to be worth anyone's time.
The follow is the largest single award on the page and the one that can never repeat. Across both accounts your lifetime total from following is four points.
The two limits, stated plainly
Free points that count without limit are a farm. Two independent ceilings stop that, and neither is a fraud detector: they are arithmetic, and they hold whether or not anyone gets caught.
Your own spend sets your personal ceiling. Engagement points count toward your total only up to half your purchase points. Spend $200 on evaluations and you have 200 purchase points, which admits at most 100 engagement points. Spend $10,000 and 5,000 are admitted. It is measured against what you spent and never against your running total, because referral credit comes out of somebody else's money.
Points earned above your ceiling are not thrown away. They sit locked in the ledger and are admitted, oldest first, as your ceiling rises with further spend. Every card on the feed shows the ceiling for exactly this reason, so you can see what is counting before you decide whether it is worth your time.
A monthly pool caps the total. Your ceiling bounds you; it does not bound a protocol with a growing number of traders. Each firm has a monthly pool for engagement on its own posts, sized by its deploy tier (5,000 to 60,000), and DecentralProp's own account has 50,000, because a protocol post reaches every trader rather than one firm's roster. The pools reset on the first of each UTC month and do not roll over. The feed shows both as meters with their reset date, and which pool a given post charges.
At realistic volume the personal ceiling is what binds, not the pool. "This pool is empty" should be rare, and if it happens while a firm's sales are small, that firm's engagement is wildly out of proportion to its business and worth a look.
Points earned this way are still locked points
Engagement points follow the same rule as the onboarding bonuses: they are minted locked and only become spendable once your own spending covers them. A wallet that never buys an evaluation can like every post ever published, follow both accounts, run a thirty-day streak, and redeem exactly nothing.
What changed recently is when the unlock runs. It used to happen only at a purchase, so points earned between purchases sat locked under a ceiling that already covered them. Now they count as soon as your existing spend covers them, without waiting for you to buy again.
What the feed shows you
The page is built to answer "what is still worth doing" rather than to list everything that exists. Posts you have not finished come first and completed ones fold themselves into a collapsed section. Each card shows what each action pays, which pool it charges, and the faces of traders who already engaged with it. There is a daily pace indicator, because the shared X application has its own rate limits and it is better to see that ceiling than to hit it. If you have Telegram linked, you get a message when fresh posts land.
Honest limits
X can refuse an action for reasons that have nothing to do with you: a post with replies restricted to accounts the author follows, a quote of a post that cannot be quoted, or a rate limit. When that happens the page tells you what X actually refused rather than telling you to reconnect an account that is working fine.
Points are real and accruing. The share of supply allocated to the airdrop and the claim mechanics at launch are still undecided, which is true of every point on the protocol, not just these. Points & the airdrop covers the full earning picture.
