The longer your streak runs, the bigger the bonus.
The Creator Streak rewards you for posting quality content consistently, and pays more the longer you keep your streak going. There are two tracks that share the same rules, a KOL track and a Power User track, with different weekly bars and streak rewards. Rewards are paid as Community impression boost packages you can apply to your own posts.
Who Can Join
KOL track
All verified CMC Community KOLs.
Power User track
All Power Users. This track is the on-ramp to becoming a KOL.
How a Week Works
A “qualifying week” means you clear your weekly bar of quality posts:
- KOLs: 7 quality posts
- Power Users: 10 quality posts
Clear the bar every week to build your streak. The longer it runs, the bigger the reward. (Your exact weekly rewards are shown in your Tasks Box.)
What Counts as a Quality Post
This is the same for both tracks. A quality post:
- ✅ Includes a cashtag
- ✅ 500+ characters
- 🚫 No links
- 🚫 Not a pure repost
Comments count only when they add something substantive.
The Long-Tail (Coverage) Bonus
Same for both tracks. Most creators crowd into the same 10 tickers — but the highest-paying task on the board is covering coins ranked beyond the top 100.
- Distinct coins only: no farming multiple thin posts on one coin.
- Up to five distinct coins per week.
- Counts within your weekly posts also.
Streak Longevity Bonus
This is where the two tracks differ.
KOL track
- 4 weeks in a row → +700
- 12 weeks in a row → +1,400 on top
- 24 weeks in a row → +2,100 on top
Power User track
- 8 weeks in a row → +500 + “on track for KOL” status
- 16 weeks in a row → surfaced for KOL verification (fast-tracked, no need to self-request)
Miss a qualifying week and your streak resets to zero. The bonus is for showing up when the market is quiet, not for one green candle.
Spam Review
Everything goes through a spam review. Flagged content does not qualify and earns nothing for that period. Farming five thin posts on one obscure coin won’t work.
How Rewards Are Paid
Rewards arrive as impression boost packages you can apply to the posts you choose.
The Path to KOL (Power Users)
The Power User track is the on-ramp to the KOL tier. Hitting a 16-week streak surfaces you for KOL verification. You’re fast-tracked into the review queue instead of having to request it yourself.
Important: the streak earns you the review, not automatic promotion. A quality check still happens before verification; consistency gets you the shot; the quality of your content decides if you advance.
