Leaderboard Mechanics

Danbot uses sophisticated formulas to rank groups and projects fairly. Understanding these mechanics helps you optimize your community's performance.

🏆 Top Groups Leaderboard​

The Top Groups leaderboard ranks communities based on a composite activity score, updated every 72 hours.

The Scoring Formula​

score = LOG(messages_7d + 1)
      × (0.5 + peak_activity_score × 0.5)   — Consistency Multiplier
      × (1.1 if /setcoin, 0.9 if not)        — Coin Association Bonus
      + LOG(group_size + 1) × 0.3            — Reach Bonus

Key Factors:

  • Logarithmic Activity: Raw message volume has diminishing returns; consistent activity is better than a single massive burst.
  • Consistency Multiplier: Groups that maintain steady activity throughout the week score significantly higher than those with "peak and valley" patterns.
  • Setcoin Bonus: Simply configuring your token with /setcoin provides a permanent 10% boost to your score.
  • Reach Bonus: While engagement is prioritized, total member count provides a slight secondary boost.

✨ Rising Stars​

The Rising Stars leaderboard highlights communities with the strongest recent growth momentum.

  • Focus: Specifically designed for smaller, emerging groups (typically 100–500 members).
  • The Curve: Uses a Gaussian curve that rewards groups in the "sweet spot" of active growth while penalizing extremely large, established groups.
  • Update Cycle: Published every 72 hours to Danbot HQ.

🔥 Trending Projects​

The Trending Projects leaderboard ranks projects purely by community support.

  • Ranking Factor: Total Weighted Votes received during the week.
  • Weighting: Votes are weighted (1–10) based on the individual voter's network activity and loyalty.
  • Reset: Resets every Sunday night at 23:59 UTC.
