How attribution works

Attribution connects a contribution to the trading activity it helped create.

An Activity Reward can only be generated when that connection is clear enough to verify.

The basic flow

1. You create eligible activity, such as a Call, thesis or other attributable contribution.
2. Another user discovers or engages with that activity.
3. They go on to trade the relevant market.
4. That trade generates eligible fees.
5. If the contribution can be attributed to that trade, part of those fees may become an Activity Reward.

See Fees.

What attribution is trying to measure

Attribution is not about rewarding every post that happened before a trade.

It is about identifying the contribution that meaningfully helped create the activity.

For example, someone might open a Call from a notification, review the setup and trade directly from it. That creates a much clearer attribution path than a random message that happened to mention the same token hours earlier.

Why attribution has to be strict

Loose attribution rewards noise.

If every nearby post, message or market mention could earn a share, the incentive would be to create more activity rather than better activity.

Activity Rewards are designed to reward contributions that can be connected to real trading behaviour.

More than one contributor

A trade can sometimes have more than one relevant touchpoint.

Someone might first discover a market through one person, later read a thesis from another and finally trade from a Call inside a Tribe.

How credit is handled in cases like this depends on the attribution model.
