Reach Protocol

Independent posters create the reach that moves tokens — and never get paid for it. Reach Protocol tracked every post about a token, scored real engagement and paid the best contributors automatically on-chain.

Reach Protocol homepage: 'Know who moves your token. Pay them for it.' with the live $ANSEM tracker showing 4,031 posts tracked from 1,000 posters — The live $ANSEM tracker — 4,031 posts from 1,000 posters, scored and ranked.

01 — The Idea

You asked. We built it.

When crypto influencer Ansem publicly asked for a tool to reward the most viral posts about a coin — 5.1k likes on the question alone — the gap was obvious: projects live off the reach independent posters create, but there was no way to measure it, let alone reward it automatically.

Reach Protocol made that reach measurable. Every post mentioning a token's ticker or contract address got tracked, scored by real engagement, and ranked on a live leaderboard. The first tracker ran on $ANSEM itself.

02 — How It Worked

From tweet to on-chain payout, no human in between.

The full loop — discovery, validation, scoring, payout — ran automatically:

Posters included the contract address and their wallet in a tweet. A cron discovered posts every 5 minutes; a webhook caught them in real time.
Anti-spam gates filtered the noise: minimum views, minimum followers, account age of 30+ days, bot-flag rejection — all tunable per token.
Engagement was scored with weighted metrics — views ×1, likes ×5, retweets ×10, replies ×3 — and re-scored continuously across each tweet's 48-hour lifetime.
Every 4 hours, creator fees were claimed and distributed proportionally to each wallet's share of the total score. Payouts below 0.02 SOL accumulated instead of dusting.
Anyone holding enough of the protocol token could launch a tracker for their own token in minutes — posters themselves never had to hold anything.

The $ANSEM leaderboard ranking 1,000 posters by engagement score, with posts, views and engagement per poster — The $ANSEM leaderboard — Ansem himself ranks fifth on his own token.

03 — Under the Hood

One ingest path, locked payouts.

Real payouts ran in production — which meant the engineering had to hold up:

Cron and real-time webhook share a single ingest module — one code path for matching, scoring and upserts.
Payout cycles take a database lock before touching funds, and the transaction blockhash is persisted mid-cycle — double payouts are structurally impossible.
Wallet login via Sign-In-With-Solana; wallet addresses are parsed straight from the tweets.
A read-only launch-readiness verifier checked config, RPC, mint, ingest and payout wiring as a PASS/FAIL table before going live.
A pagination bug in the Twitter API docs was found and fixed empirically — raising ingest from ~20 to 500 tweets per run. The verified API quirks are documented in the repo.

“is there a tool that i can use to airdrop to ppl with the most viral social media posts on a specific coin tag?”
