Hype Index. The glass algorithm.

The Hype Index is the public measure of how hyped a company is on the internet — one measure, applied at four scales: a publication, whoever published it, the company holding a .NAMEXX plate, and the federation index, the weighted sum of its companies, like an S&P 500.

At the company level it sums points from three sources: the Hype deposited on all its publications, automation spend (Forge, agent fleet, inbox) and traffic — x-bio visits and, worth a million times more, each new lead that opens a conversation through the chat-trigger. And time charges rent: every hour takes 0.1% of the points, so half of them are gone after 29 days of silence.

The unit is simple: 1 validated view = 1 point × the league factor, and every gesture point is backed 1:1 by lent PING — Hype lends 10 × the factor, shelving 100 ×, undoing returns it. Each league's factor is public and checkable in real time in the §6 quote. But a point is not PING — these are hype points, a public scoreboard, never a redeemable balance: an x-bio visit scores without anyone paying, and points bid in no auction. The math is done by the X-Hype Hub, on the PING transaction engine.

That's why the index doesn't inflate: decay doesn't punish age, it punishes silence. A company that publishes, campaigns, serves and sells rises; a parked one falls with nobody taking anything from it. The whole formula is on this page, section by section — see §4 · The house Hype Index.

Two steps, in this order. 1) Register the .NAMEXX plate — the six-letter ticker that identifies your company in the protocol, like a license plate for running a fleet of AI agents. It already comes with the corporate bio at bio.x-id.ai/YOURPLATE.

2) Join a federation. The plate alone gives you the extra bio, but does not put you on the index or grant the communication package: for that, your company must become a federation's client, by talking to its emissary. The emissary adds your plate to the federation, using the ticker as the search key.

Inside the federation you create your team's desk addresses in the [email protected] format, and your company's Hype Index starts being computed and published — candlestick chart, weight in the federation index and your annual target in the market's sight.

By order of magnitude, what hypes a company most is the new lead: someone who took the initiative to open a conversation through the chat-trigger is worth ⚡1,000,000 × the league factor. Not an arbitrated price — it is the size of the hardest thing to fabricate: nobody simulates someone else's initiative, and each wallet is a new lead only once.

Then come the Hype on all publications — none is left out, and a weak post doesn't dilute because it contributes what it has, never a discount and automation spend, which counts the same: whoever joins a federation to consume automation weighs in the index just like whoever contests attention. Organic and paid traffic count the same, because both are investment.

And what makes it fall is inertia: stopping publishing, campaigning, selling. The 0.1%-per-hour decay is only covered by what keeps coming in — the maintenance cost of your own size.

Yes, and it counts in full. 1 PING is 1 PING whoever it comes from — self-hype is real committed capital, and the scoreboard doesn't ask whose pocket it was. Treating the author's energy as worth less would require a hidden weight — exactly what the negative contract (§10) forbids.

What exists is transparency: any publication's x-ray splits what came from the author from what came from the community. Whoever wants to know if something rose on the square's merit or the owner's pocket clicks and sees, in two taps. The glass doesn't judge the energy's origin — it shows it.

It is someone who took the initiative to open a conversation with a company through its x-bio chat-trigger — inbound, the event every business chases. It credits ⚡1,000,000 × the league factor to the .NAMEXX plate's points (§4) — a million times a simple visit.

The order of magnitude isn't arbitrated taste: it is the size of the hardest thing to fabricate in the system. Nobody simulates someone else's initiative — opening a conversation requires a verified wallet, and each wallet is a new lead only once. The fraud ceiling lives in the definition, not in a rule glued on top.

And it doesn't interfere with the feed: traffic scoring moves the company's price in the federation index and never a publication's queue.

The vertical feed of the X-ID ecosystem — the consumption layer where takes, clips and photos surface to be discovered by scrolling. The energy gestures (hype, shelf, comment auction) work there and in every other window — and this algorithm orders the result in all of them.

Important: the Flow doesn't own the content — it is one of its windows. The same publication lives on the traditional web page and in the search galleries, always with the same resultant.

The business card of your verified identity: a link-in-bio mini page carrying the X-ID-validated Proof of Humanity seal — direct WhatsApp and trackable buttons, in a world where any profile can be synthetic.

It's the simplest entry door to the ecosystem: the same identity that receives the airdrop and hypes in the Flow becomes a public address proving, to whoever arrives from outside, that there is a real human on the other side.

That's also why X-Avatars don't get an X-BIO — they are different layers of identity. The X-BIO attests humanity; the X-Avatar is a declared synthetic identity. Neither ever wears the other's seal: that boundary is what keeps the proof worth something.

The editorial publication of X-DECODE — an analysis, opinion or story signed by a verified human author. The take is the work; where you consume it is another layer: in the X-FLOW feed, on DECODE's traditional web page or in the search gallery — it's always the same publication, with the same public resultant (⚡), competing in the same leagues.

Not another post — it's the same take with the video in focus: the video takes the top and the text becomes the analysis. It's the editor's call on which language leads; the resultant is a single one, added to the author's like any publication. Human presence remains the rule: X-Avatars don't publish takes in either form.

The public gallery formats: Clips (vertical video that stays) and Photos & collections (the image that stays). They are permanent — competing for evergreen in the search galleries — and they are the two formats both humans and X-Avatars can publish.

A synthetic identity with a face, a voice and social presence — publishing photos and clips and accumulating its own resultant. What exists behind it varies, and it's a spectrum:

The editorial character — a digital influencer maintained by a team of specialized creators and designers. The operation is human; the face is synthetic. The face of a service — the social front of an automation project: behind it there are workflows for sale, and every successful execution adds to its scoreboard as a provider. The autonomous agent — the highest grade: advanced automation operating with real independence. "Autonomous agent" is a title you earn, not a synonym for X-Avatar.

What never varies: every X-Avatar is signed by a responsible human author — whether a team, a company or an individual, the machine works and the human answers for it. And none of them, at any grade, publishes takes.

First and foremost, a B2B content-production service: an AI-specialized social media agency keeps the twin producing — for professionals whose time is too scarce to feed their own presence. The AI is trained on the real person's data (voice, manner, knowledge), and the team runs production on the original's behalf.

In the glass, the rule is twofold: the twin carries its own visual marking (nobody mistakes the twin for the person) and the responsibility signature is direct — the original answers for the twin. The resultant it accumulates is the service's scoreboard, auditable like any synthetic identity's.

By applying to the X-DECODE curation: you send a résumé and social proof, and curation weighs your track record, consistency and what you've already produced. Open to apply, selective to publish — the high bar is what makes the author seal worth something.

Accepted, you become an official author: you get the verified author page, the right to publish takes and video-takes, and an audience that is yours — portable, tied to your X-ID @. You don't need to be a journalist or have a big following: you need a track record and something to say.

Yes — and in dollars. PING isn't platform points: it's dollar-backed money (1,000,000 PING = $1). Every bolt, shelf and bid your audience deposits on your takes is energy with real value, adding up on a transparent ledger anyone can audit.

The path has two phases. Today, the resultant is already your negotiating currency: a living media kit — auditable proof of audience for closing contracts, declared advertising and B2B partnerships, instead of engagement screenshots nobody checks. And there's the silent monetization: authority in search engines. DECODE is also an SEO project — your takes and author page are indexable, and the resultant in plain sight becomes proof of relevance Google reads. Your authority ranking is leads coming in.

With the 2027 tap, direct income switches on: paid subscriptions for exclusive takes and a donation button — the community pays you in PING, you withdraw in dollars, with no ad middleman deciding what your work is worth. The resultant stays untouched: the scoreboard doesn't withdraw — revenue does.

And the structural difference: nobody here monetizes empty attention. Whoever pays you is whoever values you — directly, energy for work. Arriving now means accumulating engagement before the tap opens — the energy history you build today will already be in your name when monetization turns on.

They can buy a place — paying, in public, with a final deposit that stays logged in the composition. It's the opposite of the current system, where money buys reach invisibly (native ads, platform boosts, bot farms).

And there's a natural economic limit: holding position against an entire community is expensive — the sum of thousands of 1-PING bolts beats a lone wallet surprisingly often. Distributed energy is the defense, and it gets stronger as the network grows.

It depends on the gesture. Bolt and shelf are reversible: if you un-hype or take something off the shelf, the PING returns to your balance — and the resultant drops at the same moment, in front of everyone. The scoreboard reflects the community's current support, not an inflated history.

The comment-auction bid is final (all-pay model): you spoke, you deposited. That difference is what gives weight to the word — supporting is a state you can revisit; taking the stage of the conversation is a commitment you pay for.

No. Disagreeing is free — the 👎 is right in the reaction bar, replies inside conversations are free, and none of it costs a single PING. What costs is the same for everyone: the stage. If you want your critique at the top of the comment auction, you place a bid — exactly like someone who agrees.

And note a detail of the design: the algorithm doesn't read sentiment. Energy doesn't mean "I agree" — it means "this deserves attention". A devastating, well-argued critique can be the most hyped comment on a take, including by the author's own audience. The glass orders relevance, not applause.

The author's right question — and the answer demands a distinction: the resultant is the algorithm's scoreboard, not a balance. The PING your audience deposits on your takes measures the value of your work in public, but it doesn't land in your account with every bolt — not least because bolts and shelves are reversible (the supporter can take them back).

Today, the resultant is worth authority: an auditable media kit, niche ranking, SEO. With creator payouts (2027), the conversion opens: by public rule — published on this page and in the whitepaper before switching on, like everything in the glass.

In one sentence: you don't withdraw the scoreboard — the scoreboard is what will define, in the open, how relevant your content is to your audience.

By the same principle as author curation: the X-Avatar is not self-service. Each one is born under contract, with an X-ID-credentialed manager and a responsible human signing — that's what separates a declared synthetic identity from a loose fake profile.

If you're a designer, studio or agency that has mastered this craft, you're exactly who the platform wants: apply with your portfolio and the avatar's concept (editorial character, service face or agent). Approved, you get a verified producer login — and your X-Avatar gets a unique handle, a public profile and the right to compete for PING in the galleries, with the execution scoreboard building its reputation in public.

The author, at publication — the niche is the take's category, tags are its topics. The algorithm doesn't reclassify content on its own: the league you compete in is declared, public and visible on the take itself.

Because all energy is born from a verified human identity (WhatsApp + e-mail) — and costs real money. An army of bots would need an army of verified identities and capital burning on every gesture. Spam isn't forbidden; it's economically unviable.

To guarantee the integrity of the sum: verifying identities, custodying the backing, keeping the auction honest and removing real abuse (illegal content, fraud). The platform is the notary of the energy — not the editor of the feed.

No — consuming is free. Scrolling the feed, reading takes, watching clips, reacting, replying, following: none of it costs a PING. What costs is moving the ranking — hyping, shelving, bidding on a comment. You pay to have weight, not to be present.

And remember: every verified human arrives with 1,000,000 PING from the airdrop. You walk in with a dollar of weight in your pocket.

The energy gestures lock until you top up — $1 = 1,000,000 PING, the same parity as always. Everything else keeps working: feed, reading, reactions, replies.

The airdrop is a single seed: it doesn't refill on its own. When it runs out, new energy enters by buying — that's how the backing grows together with usage.

It can — and it will, because a living protocol evolves. The glass commitment isn't immutability: it's that every change lands on this page before it lands on the feed. New weights, windows and rules are published in advance, with the why.

And the direction is democratic by design: the community votes with energy every day — what it hypes defines what the network values, and the negative contract (§7) marks the lines that don't get crossed. If one of them ever changes, you read it here first.

The oldest deposit wins — whoever reached the number first stays ahead. A public, deterministic rule with no editorial tiebreaker.
