Farcaster Creator Rewards is the most discussed topic. And here’s a short summary of some questions:
How does the leaderboard work?
You earn points based on engagement with your top 50 casts each week. Here’s how it’s scored:
• Engagement-based: Likes, replies, and recasts on your best top-level casts.
• Follower adjustment: Your score is divided by the cube root of your active followers to level the field for new users.
• Unique engagers: Engagement from different users is worth more than repeated interactions from the same person.
• Account quality: Points are adjusted based on the quality of the accounts interacting with you (e.g., no spam or coordinated manipulation).
Why isn’t your score increasing?
• Only your best 50 casts count, newer posts must outperform older ones to raise your score.
• Low-quality or suspicious engagement doesn’t count.
• Your account may not meet verification requirements.

What are reward boosts?
Occasional bonuses are offered for certain actions, like funding your Warpcast wallet. These are also listed in the Miniapp.
Weekly rewards are meant to support creators who spend their time and energy creating engaging content on Farcaster.
We've seen some accounts try to trick the algo by coordinating engagement, and redirect rewards towards low effort or uninteresting content. We're making changes to fix this.
The algo will reward diverse weekly engagement. If you get two likes from different people, they'll give you more points than two likes from the same person.
The algo may reduce or eliminate points from some accounts based on heuristics (engaging with spammy accounts, only with a particular account, in time patterns that suggest coordination etc)
These changes will roll out on Tuesday. For more details on how rewards work, see the page below.
