Frequently asked questions

What is KudoSwap?

KudoSwap is the first DEX where reputation compounds your swaps. Contributors unlock exclusive discounted swaps by driving project traction through on-chain activity and social engagement.

How does KudoSwap work in simple terms?

Projects deposit tokens into “KudoPools.” Communities contribute on-chain and socially to increase project momentum. Contributors earn Kudos, climb leaderboards, and unlock access to discounted token swaps when allocations are released.

What are Kudos?

Kudos are points earned for contributing to a project’s traction, both on-chain (transactions, holding, liquidity) and off-chain (social posts, engagement). Kudos determine your leaderboard ranking.

What is the KudoScore?

KudoScore is a multiplier applied to Kudos you earn. It measures account reputation and contribution quality. Higher KudoScore = more weight for your actions.

What’s the difference between Social KudoScore and On-Chain KudoScore?

Social KudoScore evaluates your reputation, content quality, and consistency on X/Twitter, whereas on-Chain KudoScore evaluates your wallet activity, alignment with project objectives, and on-chain contribution.

How can I earn Kudos?

You can earn Kudos in multiple ways.
On-chain: trading, holding tokens, providing liquidity, interacting with dApps.
Social: tweeting, engaging in project discussions, amplifying campaigns.
Referrals: inviting others to join campaigns

Do all actions give the same amount of Kudos?

No. Kudos are weighted by your KudoScore, action type, and context.

What are allocations?

Allocations are portions of project tokens deposited into KudoPools. They are released over time and allocated to top contributors.

What is an epoch?

An epoch is one campaign cycle. At the end of each epoch, the leaderboard is snapshotted, and allocations unlock for contributors.

How do leaderboards work?

Contributors are ranked by total Kudos earned during the campaign. The higher your rank, the larger your allocation share.
