The score
Each account's cumulative engagement is weighted into a single influence score:
score = views × 1 + reposts × 10 + replies × 4 + isBuilder × 5000
| Engagement | Weight |
|---|---|
| Views | × 1 |
| Reposts | × 10 |
| Replies | × 4 |
| Builder bonus | × 5000 |
Why these weights
- Views anchor the score at one each — reach, measured plainly.
- Reposts weight heavily because they extend reach far beyond the original audience.
- Replies reward the conversational signal, the back-and-forth that makes a conversation a conversation.
- Builder bonus recognises people building on Oarcoin. Approved builders receive a one-time +5,000 bonus added to their cumulative score.
Cumulative, not instant
Scores are cumulative since an account entered the ledger, and the pool is re-ranked weekly. A consistent presence outranks a single viral post.
Published and legible
The weights are configurable and published here so the index stays legible — you can always see exactly how a score was built.
Note
Engagement numbers are counted as reported by the data provider at ingestion time, not as they appear later.
