Overview
Boost Town connects paid promotion with reader rewards. One X post occupies the spotlight at a time. Advertisers buy that position with USDG, and readers open the post through the app to check claim eligibility. The payment split sends 50% to a reward reserve, 30% to BOOST buybacks and burns, and 20% to the protocol. The reward draw covers 20 Robinhood Stock Tokens, with claims settled through their USDG pools. Eligibility and prize sizes depend on the service's backend. Readers pay gas, and rewards can slow or pause as funding changes. The Stock Tokens are tokenized debt securities, not shares in the underlying companies. Boost Town is independently operated and is not affiliated with Robinhood. Participation is subject to jurisdiction restrictions.
Frequently asked questions
- How is spotlight placement priced?
- Each purchase resets the next price to twice the amount paid. It then decays over a 12-hour half-life, down to a minimum of 1 USDG. A new purchase replaces the current post.
- Do readers have to buy BOOST?
- No. BOOST holdings may improve rewards, but neither buying nor holding it guarantees a reward. Eligibility and abuse-prevention checks still apply.
- How do stock-token claims work?
- Readers connect a wallet, open the post, review the reward and confirm an onchain claim. There is one claim per wallet per post and a 10-minute grace period after a post is outbid.
- Can another site display the spotlight?
- Yes. Boost Town provides an embeddable script and public JSON endpoints for posts and aggregate statistics. The feed includes post prices, views, opens and payouts.
- What should users check before participating?
- Check current eligibility rules and the wallet's gas estimate. Stock Tokens carry market, liquidity and contract risks, and a small reward may be worth less than its claim fee. Placement purchases are non-refundable even if another post replaces them quickly.
