Grand Prize
$100
One creator with the most outstanding body of work — judged across all their pieces or on one breakout hit.
Hunch Crew · Season 1
Every creator who submits at least one qualifying piece gets a 20% referral fee share for a full year — double the standing 10%. On top of that, the best content competes for a $500 USDC pool. No “you didn’t win, you got nothing.”

20% referral fee share, for 12 months.
Every Crew member gets their referral code from /referral. Any trade through your code earns you 20% of Hunch’s fee — for a full year from your first qualifying submission. It’s not taken from the pool, it compounds with your audience, and it outlasts the season. Standing referral is 10%; Crew doubles it for year one.
Grand Prize
$100
One creator with the most outstanding body of work — judged across all their pieces or on one breakout hit.
Per-view rewards
up to $250
$5 per 10,000 qualified views on videos and threads. Pro-rata if the field exceeds the bucket.
Editor's Picks
up to $150
Standout individual pieces hand-picked by the team. Typically $15–$40 each, ~6–15 picks.
The split is a starting point — the team can move dollars between buckets within the $500 USDC cap based on what the season produces. Per-view payouts scale down pro-rata so the $250 bucket never overflows.

No. Everyone who submits a qualifying piece gets the 20% referral fee share for a year. Selection only affects the $500 pool.
Yes — submit as many as you like. More pieces increase your odds at Editor's Picks and the Grand Prize, and stack your per-view earnings.
Per-view payouts scale down pro-rata so the bucket stays within $250. Big hits are still your best path to an Editor's Pick and the $100 Grand Prize.
Per-view rewards apply to videos and threads. Image memes and single posts earn through Editor's Picks and the Grand Prize — and still count toward your body of work.
