✨How Social Media activity is rewarded with SpaceDust

SERA Team

When you share content on your connected social media accounts and tag #SERASpace (or any other approved hashtags), your post starts generating SpaceDust based on the number of views it receives.

Updates to SpaceDust balances and badges related to social media content happen periodically (currently every 24 h), not in real time.

All content must follow our Social Media Posting Guidelines, otherwise, any SpaceDust earned will be removed. Remember: your posts should tell the story of your candidacy and help build the SERA community. A strong narrative and community support are key to advancing in the astronaut selection process.

Once you connect your account, it can only be disconnected if you haven't generated any SpaceDust through it.

✨Earning SpaceDust from content

SpaceDust from your connected social media views is awarded using a system of diminishing returns. The initial views on a post are the most valuable, with the SpaceDust earned from subsequent views decreasing as the total number of views increases. The system keeps the campaign dynamic, encouraging continuous creativity. Viral posts still bring a bonus, but no one can gain an unbeatable lead just because of one big hit.

How it works:

Initially, SpaceDust earnings are 1:1 with views.
After reaching a certain threshold (currently 10,000 views), rewards continue but with diminishing returns, following a logarithmic formula:

SD = SpaceDust awarded for a post's views; T = Threshold; A = Scaling Factor; B = Diminishing Returns Factor; NV = Number of views received by the post

Each post can generate SpaceDust for up to 72 hours after publication. Following that, new views no longer count.

👉 Pro Tips: Post regularly, be authentic, and engage your audience. Fresh, creative content over time will outperform one-off spikes.

📝Note: Performance metrics are sourced directly from the official APIs of the social media platforms, and rewards are allocated strictly based on the data provided. Any discrepancies between the values displayed on your social media dashboard and the rewards granted may be attributed to how each platform processes, aggregates, or distributes its data. Please note that SERA has no control over the way these metrics are generated and reported by the platforms.
