How it works
Firstance doesn't hire marketers.
It pays you, on-chain.
A slice of the supply — the self-marketing vault — is reserved for the people who promote Firstance on X. Post about the project, your engagement becomes a score, and every time the market cap crosses a milestone, the vault pays the board. Tokens land straight in your wallet. No claiming, no gas, no forms. This page explains the whole machine — the same rules the code enforces.
Connect
Link your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack — or just paste an address), then connect your X account. That's the whole signup.
Tweet & submit
Post about Firstance and submit up to 3 of your own tweets per milestone. Views, likes, reposts and quotes turn into XP that updates every few hours.
Get paid
When the market cap crosses the milestone, the board freezes and the vault pays every eligible wallet directly — proportional to score, verifiable on-chain.
Where the rewards come from
3% of the supply, unlocked
milestone by milestone.
At launch, 3% of the total supply plus a 2,500 USDC pool is deposited into an on-chain marketing vault. Six market-cap milestones each unlock an equal sixth of it. The first milestone is special: it also pays out the entire USDC pool. Like everything else in Firstance, the vault runs on fixed rules — nobody can distribute early, over-distribute, or redirect a payout.
| Milestone | Market cap | Unlocks | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | $500k | 1/6 of the vault | + the entire 2,500 USDC pool |
| M2 | $2M | 1/6 of the vault | |
| M3 | $10M | 1/6 of the vault | |
| M4 | $25M | 1/6 of the vault | |
| M5 | $100M | 1/6 of the vault | the terminal milestone |
| M6 | $250M | 1/6 + any dust | pays out after 30 days even if $250M isn't hit |
A weak start ends it
The campaign begins once the market cap first crosses $100k. If that never happens in the first 24 hours, the marketing vault shuts down and returns its funds — the same day-one discipline as the main vault.
Milestones latch
The moment the market cap touches a milestone, the crossing is recorded on-chain permanently. A later dip can't cancel the payout. If $250M is never reached, the last milestone still pays out to the board as it stands 30 days after M5 closes.
Scoring
Your reach becomes XP.
Quality beats spam, by design.
Each milestone is a fresh window: you get 3 tweet slots, everyone's counters reset, and a new board race starts. Every tweet you submit earns XP from its engagement, refreshed every few hours. One thing we keep deliberately vague: the exact per-metric weights. Publishing them would hand bot farms a recipe. What you need to know is simple:
Real engagement wins
The engagement that's hardest to fake — people reposting and quoting you — carries by far the most weight. Replies and bookmarks matter, likes help a little, and raw views barely move the needle.
Farming is a losing trade
Counted views are capped relative to your follower count, and outliers get damped. Buying impressions or botting likes costs more than it could ever earn back.
Effort pays extra
A thread multiplies the tweet's XP by ×1.2, a video by ×1.1, a photo by ×1.05. Only the highest single bonus applies — they don't stack.
Influence multiplies you
Your door score (0–1000) measures your crypto influence, backed by firstdoor.app. It multiplies your whole window score: 1 + door/250, from ×1 up to ×5.
Early work compounds
25% of your final score from the previous milestone is added to your next window automatically. Show up at M1 and you start every later race ahead of the pack.
Inviting pays both sides
Anyone who joins through your link earns +5% on their own score, and you earn 10% of each invitee's score on top of yours. One level deep — no pyramids.
The shape shifts from whales to everyone
The scoring curve changes with each milestone. Early on, raw reach rules — big accounts do the heavy lifting and get paid for it. Milestone by milestone the curve flattens, until by the last one thousands of ordinary voices out-earn a handful of megaphones. Same vault slice every time; a different crowd gets paid.
The board shows your projected payout live. Engagement refreshes every few hours, with one final full refresh the moment the milestone is crossed.
Tweet rules
The story changes
as the market cap climbs.
Each milestone has its own content rules — early on it's rallying people with the ticker and the contract address; by the end it's telling the story of a project that kept its word. Submissions are checked instantly against the hard rules, and an AI reads each tweet for the one story requirement. The special requirement only needs to appear in one of your 3 tweets — the other two are free-form. Stuck? The board can generate 10 example tweets with your own AI, one click, free.
M1 · $500k — rally to the terminal
The very beginning. Sell the core promise: rug-proof by design, and the terminal at $100M where the vault burns every remaining token. The only milestone that also pays USDC.

M2 · $2M — early momentum
Same core story, now with traction. Sell pressure halves as the cap climbs — Bitcoin-style — so the machine only gets stronger from here.

M3 · $10M — the thesis proves out

The fine print on submissions
Only your own tweets count, and only tweets posted after launch. Each tweet can be used in exactly one milestone, ever. Deleting a tweet from the board frees the slot but burns that tweet for good — its XP is gone and it can never be re-added, so swap wisely. When a milestone is crossed, the window freezes, final metrics are pulled, and everyone gets 3 fresh slots for the next race.
Fair play
Built so bots lose.
Eligibility is simple: your X account must be at least 90 days old, one wallet pairs with exactly one X account, and blacklisted accounts are out. On top of that, the scoring itself is bot-hostile — views are nearly worthless and capped relative to your follower count, the weight sits on the engagement that's hardest to fake, the curve damps outliers, and you only ever have 3 slots. And since the exact weights aren't public, there's no recipe to farm. Buying fake impressions costs more than it earns. Write something real instead.
Payouts
You never claim.
The vault comes to you.
When the market cap crosses a milestone, here is exactly what happens — every step of it public, none of it requiring trust in us:
The on-chain program reads the market cap from the live pump.fun / PumpSwap reserves and the Pyth SOL price — inside the transaction. Nobody can fake a milestone, and once crossed it's latched forever.
Final engagement metrics are pulled one last time, the window's scores lock, and each eligible wallet's share is computed proportional to score.
The full payout list — every wallet, every amount — is published, and its merkle root is committed on-chain. Anyone can rebuild the tree and confirm it matches. A 4-hour review window follows before execution.
The vault pays each wallet directly, one by one, exactly the committed amount — the program rejects anything else. The project pays all gas and account rent. At M1, tokens and USDC arrive in the same transaction.
Every payout emits a public event you can watch on Solscan. The authority — a multisig — can veto a bad list during the review window, but it can never redirect a payout, change an amount, or touch the vault early. That's not a policy. It's the program.

FAQ
Quick answers.
When do I get paid?
Shortly after a milestone is crossed: the board freezes, the payout list is published and committed on-chain, a review window of up to 4 hours passes, and then payouts are pushed wallet by wallet. You'll see it land without doing anything.
Do I pay gas or need to claim?
No. The project pays every transaction fee and creates your token account if you don't have one. Tokens simply arrive at the wallet you connected.
What if the price dips right after crossing a milestone?
Nothing changes. Crossings are latched on-chain the moment they happen — the payout goes out even if the market cap later drops below the threshold.
I tweeted before connecting my account. Do those tweets count?
Yes — any tweet of yours posted after launch can be submitted, as long as the current window is open and the tweet hasn't been used before. Connecting late doesn't erase your work.
Can I change my payout wallet?
Yes, any time until the milestone's snapshot freezes. One wallet per X account, and a wallet can't be shared between accounts.
Why does my tweet get rejected?
Usually a milestone rule: a required mention is missing, or the tweet contains something banned in the current milestone (the CA, $firstance/#firstance, or a pump.fun link in later milestones). The board shows the exact reason, and the rules cards above always reflect the current milestone.
What's the door score and how do I raise it?
It's your crypto-influence score (0–1000), backed by firstdoor.app. It multiplies your entire window score by up to ×5, so a stronger door score makes every tweet worth more.
What happens to leftovers?
Proportional splits leave rounding dust. It stays in the vault and rolls into the final milestone, which sweeps everything — the vault always empties to the community.
