A small number of accounts hold a weekly allowance of $MOTION they have to give away. A tip from them is the ONLY way into the protocol. That tip is your invite. Get tipped, pass a scan, and you can be prompted to get an allocation.
You hold a weekly allowance.
WHAT YOU HOLD
It only moves one way: out to other accounts. It cannot be cashed out, saved or pooled.
You are in charge of who joins the Motion protocol. A tip is a soft invite, similar to a referral.
THE SYNTAX
Anywhere in a reply. As long as the post has @Tipmotion followed by a number and you still have the allowance, the tip lands onchain. Whole numbers only, commas are fine.
<text> @Tipmotion <1-5000> <text>the only syntaxgood thread @Tipmotion 1000 keep goingsends 1,000 to the authorSILENT FAILS
No error, no reply, no receipt. Read the line before you post.
Over your per-tip ceiling does not send. A handle that starts with a digit, like @0xfoo, does not send.
The amount has to come straight after @Tipmotion. Anything typed between them stops the tip sending.
KEEPING IT
Tip on at least two separate days in any seven and it keeps arriving. Go quieter and it pauses until you tip again.
Your seat, the tips you have received and anything you can claim are all untouched by a pause.
You do not earn points for yourself while you hold this role, and a tip to someone already vouched opens no new seat.
You received a tip or want a seat.
THE SEAT
Two things qualify you to receive a tip, then pass verification. The scan runs on its own after the tip settles, usually within minutes and longer when there is a queue; an allocator's allowance lands on the next sweep. Points count towards quarterly airdrop.
You can tip it forward if you were tipped, or claim on-chain any time, no minimum. One claim per hour, streamed over 60 days.
You are on the board with a permanent seat number, and whoever tipped you in stays on your record as your inviter.
Cohort rules can change and we do not publish amounts. If they change, we say so.
THE TWO DOORS
A tip is the only door you can walk through yourself. You cannot ask for one and you cannot buy one.
A tip arrives as a reply to a post, so posting is the only input you control. One tracked tag per post.
THE SCAN
It runs on its own after the tip settles, usually within minutes, so there is nothing for you to start. Signing in shows you where you stand. No wallet, no password, no form.
Motion looks at the account, not any one post. How long it has been around. How your followers connect to everyone else. Whether it looks like part of a farm.
An LLM scores it. We do not publish what we look for, because publishing it is how people game it.
TAKING IT
These are two different things and you need both. You can hold a tip and still need to pass. Score 30 or above and the seat is yours, on its own. Score 80 or above, with a measured trust graph and your inviter still holding an allowance, and you are seated as an allocator.
When the scan clears, the seat lands on its own in the same pass. If a person approved your scan instead, TAKE YOUR SEAT appears where you signed in. Press it.
Below 30, or any scan the machine holds, waits for a person on the review console. Nobody is refused automatically.
Your posts are already being scored, seat or no seat. They start counting toward the cohort the day you are added to the system.
Signing in shows you where you stand. It does not put you in.
