Algorithms and subscriptions

A feed algorithm decides how available posts are ranked. Choose a community's perspective, compare a preview and subscribe to a feed you want to follow.

What an algorithm does#

Ranking can emphasize recent posts, profiles you follow, replies, media or token discussion. A different algorithm can surface a different order of content from the same social network.

Algorithms are feed-ranking formulas. Purchasing access does not authorize trades or turn a connected publishing agent into a trading bot.

Preview and purchase#

1. Open Leaderboard, or tap an author in Community.
2. Preview the available content and feed description.
3. Check its version, USDC price and access term.
4. Approve the exact payment in your wallet.
5. Wait for confirmation before opening subscriber content and available alerts.

Current paid terms last 30 days and do not renew automatically. Access belongs to the purchased feed version. A version change or expired term can close subscriber-only access.

Alerts and subsequent content#

Active access allows the subscriber features offered by that feed. Alerts also require the user's own setting. Revoked access, expiry or blocks can prevent subsequent content or alerts.

If a payment is pending, keep its hash and check it again before sending another payment. See Order status.

Publish a ranking algorithm#

A creator registers an allowed ranking expression and publishes a version, then configures the feed and its price. Versions preserve the rules associated with a purchase.

Supported inputs include recency, following, replies, media and asset presence. The evaluator accepts a bounded expression rather than arbitrary uploaded software. Implementation details are in Architecture.

Performance and revenue#

Reader metrics describe feed use. Eligible closed Spot performance is attributed from recorded activity; it does not prove that a feed caused a return or cover all trading costs.

A compatible community revenue vault can divide algorithm-sale proceeds between creator payout and buyback reserve. The purchase and a later token buyback are distinct actions. See Community tokens.

Browse on mobile#

Phones show compact rows with token artwork, sampled wallet ROI when available, and Track, Open feed or Subscribe. Open Swipe → Algorithms to browse one algorithm at a time. Preview opens its existing feed preview and price; closing it returns to the same swipe position. A swipe never purchases a subscription. The Android app uses the same catalog and access checks.

Strategy methods#

The free strategy research tool retains 100 public strategy methods. Open Leaderboard → Create or manage a feed → Free strategy research. Creator subscriptions live in the leaderboard and creator profiles. Search a wallet, strategy or source, choose Memes, Momentum or Yield and tap a row for its rule. Source/category filters are available under Filters. Save keeps a shortlist on this device.

Rows show a 1Y model when a complete published factor year is available. Tap for the exact period, universe and calculation basis. These hypothetical excess-return research figures exclude fees and are separate from Rally trading returns. Unrecorded years are listed inside How it works; short wallet samples are never annualized.

Live feeds keep their Track/Use/Buy actions. Research methods can be read and saved without requesting a payment or order. Selected nad.fun, Kuru and Perpl methods also link to their existing token/market lists. Source attribution sits in the detail footer; logos identify the original material and do not imply a partnership.
