In short
To grow a community, run a Quest whose actions are subscribes, comments with a unique code, posts with your hashtag and referrals. Only verified accounts take part, each action shows how it is checked, and winners are drawn publicly. Be aware that follows on X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn are honor-based today.

Why is community growth hard to reward?
Rewarding follows invites bots and people who unfollow the next day. Most social networks also do not let a third party check who followed whom.
How does a Quest help grow a community?
- Participants must prove a social account; one SaTT account and one device count as one entrant.
- Each action is worth tickets; you cap tickets per person.
- Referral links give tickets when a distinct verified account joins and completes at least one action; shared IP or device referrals are refused.
- A verifiable draw picks winners that anyone can recompute.
Which actions should you use?
| Action | How it is checked today |
|---|---|
| Subscribe to a YouTube channel | Auto, with the participant’s YouTube connection |
| Comment with a unique code on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram | Proof |
| Create a post with your hashtag or mention | Proof (post link from a verified account) |
| Daily check-in, quiz, visit a link | Auto |
| Follow on X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or LinkedIn; join Telegram or Discord | Honor |
Honor actions are worth half the preset tickets by default and are audited on winners. You can disable them. Check the live matrix in Tracking capabilities.
Example: a 21-day dollar Quest with $200 in prizes ($170 after the 15% fee) split as 10 × $17.
How do you set it up?
1. Create the Quest
Open Create a Quest and paste your channel or community link.
2. Weight actions by value
Give more tickets to posts and comments with a code than to follows.
3. Cap tickets per person
Set a maximum so a few very active people do not take every chance.
4. Share referral links
Encourage participants to invite friends; each verified referral brings tickets.
5. Audit winners
After the draw, review honor actions of winners and disqualify cheaters before prizes are paid.
What are the pitfalls?
- Building the Quest only on honor follows: they cannot be checked.
- Measuring success only by follower count: track comments and posts too.
- A Quest longer than needed: Quests last up to 30 days; 14 to 21 days keeps momentum.

Key takeaways
- Quests reward verified people, not anonymous e-mail addresses.
- YouTube subscribes are checked automatically; most other follows are honor-based.
- Comments with a unique code and posts with your hashtag are checked by proof.
- Referrals count only for distinct verified accounts.
Frequently asked questions
Can SaTT verify X follows?
Not today. X follow, like and repost checks need an API access SaTT does not have in production, so these actions are honor-based and audited on winners.
Can I reward Telegram or Discord joins?
Yes, as honor actions. They are worth fewer tickets and are checked manually during the audit if the participant wins.
Do participants need many followers?
No. They need a verified social account; the brand can optionally require the Verified creator badge.
