Channel Leaderboards
Introduction, Setting up and FAQ about Leaderboards for Mods and Users
Your Channel leaderboard gives a weekly and lifetime standing of users based on their engagement and reputation. Users are ranked based on OpenRank scores, which can be thought of as a reputation system for the channel, rewarding engagement aligned with desired channel rules and culture.
Once the leaderboard is launched, an initial score for users is calculated based on the last 60 days contributions within the channel. After launch, users earn scores daily based on their engagement within the channel, and daily scores are aggregated to a weekly total.
We have enabled channel leaderboard only for a few channels on Farcaster. You can request a leaderboard for your channel, feel free to message us here.

FAQs
Who is eligible for getting channel scores within a channel?
A user who casts within the channel and receives quality engagement will start earning leaderboard scores. If a channel only allows members to cast, then only members will earn scores. If a channel is open, then anybody who casts might receive channel scores. However, followers of the channel can comment and reply to casts in the channel, and they can still earn scores if their replies and comments got positive engagement from members in the channel.
As a user, how do I earn more channel scores?
Channel scores are based on quality engagement earned within the channel. Users can increase their earnings by casting high quality content and getting quality engagement from other reputable users within the channel.
How frequently is channel leaderboard updated?
The channel leaderboard has two tabs. The weekly leaderboard updates everyday at 9am PT (5pm UTC) to add the scores gained by users from the previous 24 hours. The lifetime leaderboards only updates every week at 9am PT on Mondays, when last week's scores get added to lifetime leaderboards.
The weekly leaderboard on Monday after 9am PT reflects the accumulated scores of a user for the week prior. On Tuesday 9am PT, the last week's score disappear from weekly leaderboard and shows only scores earned between Monday 9am and Tue 9am. And every day 9am PT the previous day's earned score gets added to weekly board.
Is there any connection between channel scores across different channels?
No, each channel has their own leaderboard and scores. A user’s activity in one channel doesn't affect their activity in other channels.
How are channel scores useful?
Channel scores can be used to distribute daily/weekly rewards to users by channel moderators or other communities that want to target top users within a channel.
Can channel moderators earn channel scores too?
Yes, moderators can also earn channel scores by posting quality content and receiving good engagement.
Are channel scores onchain?
Right now channel scores are off chain and can be accessible through Cura. We may bring them onchain based on demand and utility. But these scores can be used to directly distribute any token via Cura.
Can all channels have a channel leaderboard?
We're starting with a few channels that use Cura to manage their channels. Gradually we might activate channel leaderboards across all active channels on Farcaster.
