Somnia REPsystem map
REP is an identity signal, not a currency. The number isn't something you spend - it's visible proof you've contributed consistently. The harder it is to earn, the more it means to hold.
Live from 1 September 2026. Posts on X, scored automatically.
Three Guardians, worked through
Why Cem gets nothing. A score of 30 becomes 3 REP, and you need 8 REP to earn anything. The floor keeps the month from being split a few coins at a time across everyone who posted once.
Why Ana gets 420 and not 450. This month the board earned 3,210 between everyone, which is over the 3,000 ceiling. So every reward is multiplied by the same 0.93. Ana keeps 420, Ben keeps 112. Ana still gets far more than Ben, because the scaling is the same percentage for both. It never reorders anyone.
Tag an official account
The surest route, and the most used: 25,076 posts. Any of these in your own text and nothing can go wrong. On a reply, the handles X carries over from the post above are not yours and do not count:
@Somnia_Network @SomniaFndn @SomniaEco @SomniaDevs @dreamDEXSomnia @ProphecySocial_
Quote one
A quote tweet of an official account counts even with no words of your own.
Use the $SOMI cashtag
The cashtag is unambiguous, so it qualifies on its own.
Continue your own thread
Reply to yourself under a post that already counts and the continuation counts too. Long form without paying for Premium.
Write only the bare word “somnia”, with no official account involved, and it counts from the day you linked onwards. Never backdated. The word is free to type, so without that cutoff the cheapest attack is to post it daily for months, link once, and collect the backlog. Words that merely contain it, like “insomnia”, never match.
Effort 85%
An AI model reads your post next to what Somnia’s official accounts had already posted before it, and rates 0–100 what your post adds: your own use, your own numbers, a claim you stand behind, a specific criticism. Rewording or summarising an announcement scores low, however well made. A post showing your own use of a Somnia product, like your own trade or PnL, your rank or a quest you completed, is first-hand and scores fairly even when it is short. So does an original meme or joke you made yourself. A reply is judged against the post it answers as well. An image adds to your score only when your words add something too. It never sees your name, your followers, or your likes.
A well-argued critical post scores high. Copy-pasted hype scores low, however positive.
Reach 15%
Likes, reposts, quotes, replies and bookmarks, weighted by how much each costs the person doing it.
Used as your rank against everyone else this cycle, not a raw count, so one viral post cannot redefine the scale.
Work you made that carries information adds the most: a diagram, a designed infographic, an annotated chart, a screenshot of something you built. A chart or dashboard you chose but did not make adds a little. A meme, a bare logo, a stock or promotional graphic adds nothing as a picture. An original meme you made still counts through the post itself, as in section 2.
One direction only. An image can raise a score, never lower it, so a meme on a good post costs you nothing.
Original artwork
A diagram you drew, a designed infographic, a shot of something you built. Adds the most.
Charts you did not make
An informative graphic you picked rather than made. Adds a little.
Screenshots
Useful context, but almost no work in the picture. Adds the least of the ones that count.
Memes, logos, promo graphics
Add nothing as pictures, and cost you nothing either. Your own original meme still scores as a post.
A reply under someone else counts half
They average 58 characters and an effort rating of 13. Without the discount a hundred of them would outweigh one real piece of writing.
Your own thread counts in full
What matters is whose thread it is, not who you replied to. Continuing your own thread counts in full. Replying under somebody else's post counts half, even if you are replying to yourself.
Engagement is re-read for seven days
Every two hours. A post that catches on the day after you wrote it is picked up and your score follows it. After seven days the numbers settle.
A reply counts only on your own words
X copies every handle from the post above into your reply. Those inherited tags do not qualify it. Tag an official account yourself, use the cashtag, or say Somnia in what you wrote, and it counts. In early September about 2,000 replies between Guardians qualified on inherited tags alone; 39 mentioned Somnia themselves. Applied from 13 September to the whole month.
Replies from other Guardians do not raise your reach
Reach is meant to measure people outside the programme. A reply from another linked Guardian is taken back out of your reply count before the score is computed. Likes, reposts and bookmarks stay as X reports them; they carry no author.
Posts must be 15 minutes apart
An original post counts only if it is at least 15 minutes after your previous one. Twenty posts in twelve minutes count as one. Nobody who is writing hits this; the most prolific genuine author on the board averages two a day. Applies to everyone, and the row says burst when it fires.
Your best 20 replies a day count
Of your replies under other people’s posts, the best 20 each day (UTC) count, at half as above. Reply as much as you like; the rest stay on your record and simply add nothing. “Best” is by score, so the limit never drops a good reply to keep a weak one. Continuing your own thread is not capped. Applies from 1 October.
Your score for the month
The sum of every approved post you made in that calendar month.
Adjusted for how you post
From October, your month is weighed by your posting pattern. A human pattern gets a boost. Bot-like pace, hundreds of posts a day or dozens in an hour, gets a reduction, and so do AI-written replies. They stack. Writing as yourself is the best strategy there is.
Divided by 10, then a tier bonus
Scout ×1.0, Voice ×1.2 from 50, Signal ×1.5 from 150. Tiers key off your score, never your post count.
8 REP minimum to qualify
Below the floor, no SOMI for that cycle.
10 SOMI per REP, capped at 3,000
If everyone together earns more than the cap, every share is scaled down by the same proportion. Nobody is cut off at a line.
Your rolling 30 days has not gone anywhere. Hover the REP number and you will see both, this cycle and the last thirty days underneath it.
An empty board on the 1st is not a reset and nothing has been taken away. Last month is finished and rewarded; this month has not started earning yet.
Months are used rather than a rolling 30 days for one reason: a month can be checked. Ask what September rewarded and the answer is the same in October as it is next year. A rolling window gives a different answer every day you ask it.
Ignored entirely
Your follower count. Not an input anywhere, and the model never sees it. The measured relationship between followers and score is +0.03. Between how much you post and your score it is +0.96.
Whether you were positive about Somnia. Sentiment is recorded to read the mood of the community. It is never subtracted from anyone.
Keeping the role
REP no longer decays. Nothing you earned is taken back for being quiet.
The role still has to be held. Forty-five days without a qualifying post and nothing on the leaderboard, and it comes off. It does not come back on its own.

Submit the Apply quest with 2-3 highlights of your best work. Locked until you clear the 10-post bar.
Application review
A mod reads your application in FlipSuite and decides if it meets the bar. Passing review just clears the queue - no REP, no role yet. You're now waiting for an open Guardian slot.
Queue depends on the 200-capPromotion to Guardian
Once a slot is open - either naturally (a Guardian gets booted at 40d inactivity) or via manual review - a mod runs /rep guardian @you. +1 REP and the role land together.

Top 3 by 30-day earnings
Ranked by REP earned in the last 30 days - not by total balance. A 50-REP newcomer with a hot month can beat a 400-REP veteran who went quiet.
Auto-pays on the 1st of every month at 00:30 UTC. Rolling 30-day window, so it doesn't matter if the prior month was 28, 29, 30, or 31 days - you always have exactly 30 days to earn.
1-month winner cooldown: win this month, you sit out the next. Keeps the spotlight rotating.
Tie? The reward is split between everyone tied for that spot. Tipping is handled manually by the team when ties happen.
If the program proves itself, the monthly pool may grow over time. No promises, but the door's open.
What is REP and why does it matter?
How do I become a Guardian?
#contribution-board in Discord. Each post that gets 4 distinct mods reacting ✅ counts toward your tally.2) Once you have 10 approved posts, you can submit the Apply for Guardian quest.
3) A mod reviews your application.
4) When a slot opens (cap of 200), a mod runs
/rep guardian and you get the role + your first REP.
Does REP affect token allocations or future season distributions?
What if all 200 Guardian slots are full when I apply?
If the queue ever gets unhealthy (long wait, no churn), the team will introduce a rotation mechanism so approved applicants aren't stuck indefinitely. We'll figure it out when we see real numbers — for now the 40-day boot creates enough natural churn.
Why can only Guardians earn REP?
Without that gate, anyone could grind low-effort posts for REP and dilute what the number means. The bar isn't arbitrary — it's the entire point. Earn the role, then earn REP. The number on the leaderboard becomes a real signal, not noise.
How does the monthly SOMI payout work?
The window is a rolling 30 days, not a calendar month. Whether the previous month was 28, 29, 30, or 31 days makes no difference - the system always looks back exactly 30 days from the payout moment. Same rules every month, no edge cases.
How are SOMI rewards actually paid out?
/tip command in Discord.The tip posts in a designated channel and credits the recipient's Flippy wallet directly. No manual claim, no signing, no friction. Winners just see "you received X SOMI" land in the channel and in their Flippy balance.
If June's winners can't win July, what about August?
Concrete example:
· June top 3: Alice, Bob, Charlie -> get SOMI
· July: Alice/Bob/Charlie excluded -> next top 3 win (e.g. Dave, Eve, Frank)
· August: Dave/Eve/Frank excluded, but Alice/Bob/Charlie are eligible again
The point is to spread the spotlight, not permanently lock anyone out. A consistent monster contributor can win again and again, just not back-to-back. Over a year, the same person could realistically win 6 months of the 12.
What happens if two people tie for a top-3 spot?
What happens if I go inactive?
Can I lose REP through penalties?
/rep penalty: spam (-3 REP) for low-effort or repeated noise, and misleading (-10 REP) for false info that could harm users. Balances floor at 0 and never go negative. Harassment is handled through normal Discord moderation, not the REP system.What other perks do Guardians and BETA holders get over time?
