Ranks
Learn how SOCI4L score tiers work and what they say about a profile.
SOCI4L uses a Score System to turn profile completeness and social engagement into a simple reputation signal. Instead of showing only a raw number, profiles are grouped into intuitive tiers (ranks) such as Starter, Rising or Elite.
These ranks help visitors quickly understand how active and established a profile is, without exposing any private data.
How the score is calculated (high level)
Every profile has an internal score made up of several parts:
- Profile completion: Claiming your profile, setting a display name, adding a bio, and adding links and social accounts.
- Social proof: Verified social connections, donations sent, and follower count (with diminishing returns so early growth matters most).
The exact formula is defined in the codebase and documented in the Score System docs. You do not need to know every detail to understand the ranks; what matters is that the score rewards meaningful activity rather than pure volume.
Score tiers (ranks)
Based on the total score, profiles fall into one of six tiers. The mapping below comes directly from the getScoreTier function:
| Tier | Min. Score | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 0+ | Basic profile with very little information or interaction. |
| Newcomer | 5+ | First steps taken, such as claiming the profile and filling key details. |
| Rising | 10+ | More complete profile with early social engagement and several links. |
| Established | 25+ | Mature profile with consistent followers, links and activity. |
| Elite | 50+ | Highly active profiles with strong social proof and a larger audience. |
| Legendary | 100+ | Top-tier profiles in the ecosystem with exceptional engagement. |
For example:
- A profile with 8 points is Newcomer,
- A profile with 32 points is Established,
- A profile with 120 points is in the Legendary tier.
These tier labels are exactly the same values you see as tierLabel on the public profile, and they update automatically as your score changes.
Where ranks appear
On public profile pages, the score tier is shown in two places:
- Inside the score tooltip, where you can see the exact percentage score and a breakdown of how it was earned.
- Next to the address and network line, where the tier label appears alongside other context such as “Avalanche” and view counts.
Ranks are read-only for visitors, they are derived from your on-chain and off-chain signals and update automatically as your profile changes.
