Hunch Crew · Season 1

Back your hunch.Get paid to spread it.

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.”

The dealTwo stacked layers

Something for everyone — then the pool on top.

Layer 1 · Everyone who submits

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.

Layer 2 · The $500 USDC poolSelected + measured

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.

What to createFive formats · all eligible

Make anything. Just make it clearly Hunch.

Every piece needs a visible @playhunchxyz mention and a Hunch link. No Hunch, no reward. Submit as many as you want — more pieces, more chances at an Editor’s Pick and the Grand Prize.

Everything you need to make something good, fast.

The 6 core talking points6
  • Swipe to bet. Right = YES, left = NO, $0.50 tickets, real markets.
  • An agent runs the desk under every bet — routes, manages, surveils, exits.
  • Best execution. Routes across multiple venues and shows you the cents it saved you — with an onchain receipt.
  • Tag any tweet. @playhunchxyz turns a post into a tradable market in seconds.
  • Proof, not vibes. Every win is a shareable onchain proof card.
  • Settles on Arc, in USDC. Gas paid in USDC — you never hold a gas token.
Meme ideas8
  • “POV: you tagged @playhunchxyz on a random tweet and it found you a market in 3 seconds.”
  • “Me explaining to my friends why I swipe right on prediction markets at 2am.”
  • The “saved you 1.8¢” best-execution flex.
  • Polymarket-only apps vs. Hunch routing across every venue.
  • “Normal people: ‘I think X happens.’ Hunch people: ‘I called YES at 23¢, here’s the proof card.’”
  • $HUNCH $10M market countdown / “will it make it?” tension memes.
  • “My portfolio has an agent and yours doesn’t” energy.
  • Gas-token confusion vs. “I just pay in USDC” calm.
Video ideas7
  • 15-second loop: tag a tweet → bot replies → tap link → swipe → done.
  • “I let an agent run my prediction-market book for a day.”
  • 30-second best-execution explainer (why multi-venue + Arc matters).
  • The $0.50 bet challenge — how far does fifty cents go.
  • 90-second onboarding speedrun: sign in → fund → first swipe.
  • Proof card share flow — call it, win it, flex it.
  • “Is this token actually real?” — token-maturity angle.
Thread ideas6
  • “How Hunch turns any X post into a tradable market” — the full loop with screenshots.
  • “The agent under every bet” — break down the 5 things it does.
  • “Best execution, explained” — why routing across venues + Arc saves you money.
  • “5 markets you can swipe on right now” — live picks with YES/NO odds.
  • “How to read a Hunch proof card” — receipts, savings, attribution.
  • “What $HUNCH is for” — creation, curation, reputation, fee flow (usage-first).
Article ideas4
  • “Why prediction markets needed a trading-desk agent.”
  • “Opinion liquidity: turning X conviction into priced, settled markets.”
  • “Verifiable best execution: what an onchain savings receipt actually proves.”
  • Explainer on the $HUNCH $10M market — resolution source, fee → buyback, the countdown.
Quick rules of thumb5
  • Hook in the first 2 seconds / first line.
  • Show the product moving — motion beats screenshots.
  • One clear idea per piece.
  • End on a link and @playhunchxyz.
  • When in doubt, make it fun — Hunch is premium-social, not a trading terminal.
Rules & timelineKeep it clean, keep it real

What qualifies, and what gets you out.

To qualify, a piece must

  • Posted publicly on X between June 4 and June 18, 2026.
  • Mentions @playhunchxyz and includes a Hunch link (/quick, referral, or playhunch.xyz).
  • Uses #HunchCrew so we can find it.
  • Original — your own content, not reposted or recycled.
  • Submitted through the form: link + your X handle + your Base wallet + currency choice.

Account hygiene & anti-gaming

  • Account age ≥ 30 days and a real-follower floor (≥ 50) to keep view-farms out.
  • Views counted at a fixed checkpoint; obvious bot / inorganic spikes are disqualified.
  • Per-creator cap on per-view earnings so one account can't drain the bucket.
  • Content must meaningfully feature Hunch — a clear mention + link, not a one-frame flash.
  • Top payouts and the Grand Prize are manually reviewed; the team's call is final.
  • Keep it clean — no “guaranteed returns,” no financial advice, no casino framing. Availability varies by jurisdiction.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Do I have to be selected to earn anything?

No. Everyone who submits a qualifying piece gets the 20% referral fee share for a year. Selection only affects the $500 pool.

Can I submit more than one piece?

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.

What if my video blows up past the budget?

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.

Can a meme earn per-view rewards?

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.

How do I prove my views?

Native X analytics screenshots, on request, before payout.

USDC or $HUNCH?

Your choice at submission. Paid on Base for USDC.

Who decides the Grand Prize and Editor's Picks?

The Hunch team. Decisions are final. We judge originality, how well it shows the product, and how much it actually moved attention.

When does the 20% referral share start and end?

From your first qualifying submission, for 12 months.
