Wash trades score zero. Sybils are filtered. The report is onchain.
Every incentive campaign in crypto faces the same three attacks: wash trading, sybil farming, and reward dumping. Zaps was built by people who measured those attacks in production, and every campaign runs behind three layers of defense.
Layer 1: every trade is checked
Each trade earns campaign rewards in proportion to its verified quality, checked per trade, at the moment it happens:
- Exposure. A position that opens and closes within the same minute was never exposed to the market. It scores zero, no exceptions. Genuine fast trading is fine: a real scalp holds meaningful credit, and full credit arrives with genuine holding time. The hard zero is reserved for the round-trip signature that has no honest explanation.
- Real fees. Real trading pays the venue's real costs. A trade whose paid fees are far below what its claimed volume should have cost is a rebate exploit, and it scores zero regardless of anything else.
Two independent checks, because any single check can be gamed by faking that one thing. Faking both at once costs more than the reward is worth, which is the point.
Layer 2: wallets are clustered
Per-trade math catches a wallet washing against itself. Coordinated wallets washing against each other are caught by zScore's behavioral clustering, the sybil detection layer that produced the −56% sybil result in live production. Farms are filtered before rewards are computed, not discovered in a post-mortem.
Layer 3: dumping has a memory
The Post-Reward Sell Check watches what happens after rewards land. A wallet that dumps its full reward within hours carries that record into its next campaign eligibility. Patient holders are unaffected, and no reward is ever clawed back: the past is paid, and the future is priced. Your report includes the sell pressure data either way.
The proof report
Every campaign ends with a public, onchain report:
| Section | What it proves |
|---|---|
| Volume | Verified trading volume generated, by clan |
| Wallet quality | The zScore distribution of participating wallets |
| Sybil rate | What was caught and filtered, stated plainly |
| Sell pressure | What happened to rewards after distribution |
This is the document that did not exist in this industry before: evidence that a campaign budget moved real capital through real traders. Bring it to your next budget meeting instead of a screenshot of a follower graph.
