Season 0 is open. Like, repost, reply or quote this post and we'll check it against X, then it becomes Pickle Points. Talk in the Telegram group today and that counts too.
Post about Pickle.Split a fixed pot.
Each season has one pot of PKL, fixed before it opens, and your points decide the size of your slice. No rate, no range. Nobody can say what a point is worth until the season closes and every account is counted, us included. We could invent a number. We aren't going to. Season 0 runs on X and Telegram. Likes, reposts, replies and threads on the official account's posts all count, and so does every day you show up in the group. Chain quests open later.
One wallet, one X, one Discord, one Telegram. Each one ties to you once and never moves. Nothing gets credited because you said it happened: we ask X, and we ask the two bots.

Each line shows the time, what you did, the fact we checked, the points the schedule pays, and the multiplier you had that week. It's an example, not your ledger.
01 / How it works
The rules were set before the season opened, and they don't move.
A point is a share, not a price.
We publish the pot as one number of PKL. What a point ends up worth gets worked out at the end, never set at the start. We publish it at mainnet, once every account is counted. More people earning means thinner slices, yours included.
Brine is who you are. Points are what you did.
Brine is the progress you keep, and its one job is to set how high your multiplier can climb. It never resets, so time spent here keeps counting without your old points eating into later seasons. Pickle Points are what this season pays out, and they become PKL at mainnet. You can't send either one, or spend them.
A reply starts paying at 15 words.
A like counts once X lists it, and a repost the same. A day in Telegram counts when the bot saw you there. Every account ties to one wallet and stays put. We log every refused attempt. That's how we catch one person running several.
02 / Quests
New quests every day, more every week, and a few that run all season.
Every day: something in the Telegram group, plus two ways to work with that day's post. Every week: a thread, five real replies, three quote posts. Miss a day and your streak drops one step, not to zero. Skipped quests don't pile up.
03 / Getting further
Six levels. You earn the multiplier, and it stops at 3×.
Your level, your streak and turning up early each multiply what you earn from chain, social and creation quests. They add up together. None of them touch people you invite, or Mythic quests. Your tier doesn't add anything on top: it only sets the ceiling.
| Level | Name | Brine | Ceiling | What it opens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Seed | 0 | 1.00× | Daily quests |
| 1 | Sprout | 500 | 1.20× | Weekly quests, and you can invite people |
| 2 | Gherkin | 2,000 | 1.45× | Builder quests, and held social points unlock |
| 3 | Pickle | 6,000 | 1.70× | Mythic quests, and you can nominate a moderator |
| 4 | Barrel | 15,000 | 2.00× | Guide role, and you review community content |
| 5 | Brine Master | 40,000 | 2.25× | By invitation, 250 accounts at most |
04 / Budgets
We divide the pot up front, and you can see every share.
The split doesn't move once it's published. Whatever a category doesn't use goes to a later season, not to whichever one turned out easiest to farm. And inside a category, each repeat pays less than the one before.
1,200 points a week per account. Go over and we drop the excess rather than hold it for the week after. At the end, nobody walks off with more than 0.05% of the pot. What the cap cuts off doesn't vanish and we don't keep it: we share it out again among the accounts still under the cap.
05 / Where everyone stands
The leaderboard counts the points that have cleared.
Held points don't show up here, and neither do accounts we excluded.

06 / What we won't tell you
We pay you for catching us out.
What we do say
- The pot is one fixed number of PKL, shared out by points.
- What a point turned out to be worth, published at mainnet as a result.
- The budgets and the caps, written down before the season starts.
- How many accounts we excluded this month, and why.
What we never say
- What a point is worth, a range, or a figure in any currency, not even a rough one.
- "Guaranteed", "definitely eligible", "confirmed airdrop".
- How many points you'll end up with.
- Anything about price, exchange listings, or returns.
And we pay for corrections
Catch us in something wrong, publicly and with an argument behind it, and that's 200 points. The claims hunt in week ten pays 500 if you turn out to be right. The Sceptic badge goes to the sharpest criticism of the project. Outsiders judge it.
