A score gives you a placing. Your placing gives you a fixed prize.
Every prize is published before a campaign starts. Scoring is done by a real person, in the open. No algorithm, no black box.
Post
Submit your content for the campaign. Each piece is reviewed on its own.
Scored
A real person reads your post against a published rubric. You earn points.
Ranked
Points sort you on the live board. More points, higher placing. Ties go to the higher rank.
Paid
Every placing has a fixed prize, set before the campaign opens. Paid in USDC.
Your prize is set by your placing, not by your point total. Points only decide where you finish.
Points and prizes are not the same thing
Points decide your place.
Your place decides your prize.
What points do
Sort you on the board. Higher points, better placing. That is their only job.
What your place does
Unlock a fixed prize, set before the campaign opens. Your place is the key.
What scores well, and what scores zero
- Original insight or a genuine take
- Content that fits the campaign brief
- Clear, well-crafted writing
- Real audience engagement (capped, so farming does nothing)
- Copy-paste or AI-generated filler
- Off-brief or irrelevant content
- Fake engagement or bot traffic
- Spam
Engagement is capped at a fair threshold. Genuinely viral content is never penalized. Manufactured engagement just adds nothing past the cap.

Your rank is your reputation
Never out-scores contentYour rank is your Contently score. Every post you submit gets scored, and those points build your reputation, lifting you from Contributor to Luminary. A higher rank unlocks more posts per week. It never beats better content: in every campaign you win on quality alone, so a Contributor with a sharp post can out-place a Luminary with a lazy one. Followers count separately as Reach.
