1. Core Gameplay & Reward System
Q: What are the key features of the XHunt Leaderboard?
1️⃣ A tri-track system: POI (Proof of Influence) + POW (Proof of Work) + Content Contest. It balances influence, content quality, and behavioral data. Projects can freely combine different tracks to customize their own leaderboard.
2️⃣ Industry leading Anti-AI Farming algorithm that accurately flags and slashes the weight of sybil/botting behaviors, rewarding genuine creators only.
3️⃣ Most advanced LLMs and proprietary algorithms to ensure hyper-accurate scoring.
Q: What is the POI (Proof of Influence) Leaderboard?
A: The POI Leaderboard measures your overall social media clout. The scoring system is based on four core pillars: Influence > Content Quality > Conversion > Originality. The higher the relevance to the project ecosystem, the higher the information value and the greater the mindshare.
Q: What is the POW (Proof of Work) Leaderboard?
A: The POW Leaderboard is a comprehensive measure of your behavioral data and content value. 50% of the weight comes from on-chain data or other behavioral data; the other 50% comes from the content dimension (Content Quality × Originality × Conversion × Influence). POW places more emphasis on content quality and originality.
Q: How is the Content Contest judged?
A: Entries are initially screened by AI and then manually reviewed. We focus on content quality, originality, unique perspectives, and actionable guidance for the ecosystem. Even creators with modest follower counts can still win if the content is strong.
2. Eligibility & Basic Requirements
Q: Are there account requirements to participate in the XHunt Earn campaign?
A: Yes. To ensure a level playing field, participating accounts must meet:

The guide for becoming an XHunt creator can be found here: Verified Creator Guidance
Q: Do I have to tag the official account in my posts?
A: Yes. You must tag the designated official account in the main body of your posts for the system to index and score it.
Tip: Tagging only in replies/comments usually doesn't work; it must be in the main text. Also, please turn on promotional labels if applicable.
3. Content Creation & Scoring Alpha
Q: Does my content have to focus strictly on the project itself?
A: Yes. Relevance is a critical scoring dimension. If your post mostly discusses other topics or competitors, the AI will assign a low relevance score, significantly lowering your total score.
Q: Does posting more mean a higher ranking?
A: Even if you're a mega-KOL, one post likely won’t top the leaderboard. We value quality over volume, and there is a cap on eligible posts scored.
Q: Why is someone ranking higher than me when I have more views and engagement?
A: We also value engagement quality. Engagement from influential users can lead to higher scores. Another possibility is that your account is flagged as a farming account.
Q: Can I mostly post rule explanations on how to participate?
A: You can, but it’s not recommended. Overly rule-focused posts may be flagged as irrelevant, lowering your relevance score. Focus on the project itself.
Q: Do I need to tag @xhunt_ai in my posts?
A: We appreciate everyone promoting XHunt, but mentioning XHunt is not required to participate.
Q: Do Quote of official posts count towards my score?
A: Yes, they count. QTs can boost engagement, but you must add high-value original takes and properly tag the official account.
4. Risk Control & Anti-Sybil
Q: How are farming accounts identified?
A: The campaign uses industry-leading anti-farming algorithms. The following behaviors will get you flagged:
Predominantly AI-generated content
Abnormally high ratio of promotional posts
Severely inflated engagement metrics
Wholesale plagiarism of other creators' threads
Q: What happens if my account is identified as farming?
A: Your score will be penalized based on severity. The leaderboard is preliminarily adjusted; final review occurs before rewards.
Q: What can I do if my account is flagged as farming?
A: Farming detection is based on historical behavior. To improve your status, focus on authentic content creation and genuine engagement.
5. Seeking Help
Q: What if I have questions about my score?
A: Please hop into the official community (XHunt Telegram group). If it involves backend data, DM an admin directly. Always verify the admin's identity to avoid scams.
Q: Where does XHunt's data come from? What specific large language models are used?
A: XHunt's data comes from the official Twitter API. It primarily uses Gemini, with GPT / Deepseek / Claude as supplementary models.
