Question 1

What is APEWATCH?

Accepted Answer

A public terminal for posted memecoins, APE or NOT opinions, risk checks, tracked-wallet rows, and an off-chain XP and BANZ ledger.

Question 2

Is APEWATCH free?

Accepted Answer

Using the terminal does not charge a platform fee in the app. Chain transactions you sign elsewhere still cost network fees. APEWATCH does not take those fees.

Question 3

Is this investment advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Votes, calls, whale rows, and risk grades are research signals with gaps. They are not a recommendation to buy or sell.

Question 4

Does APEWATCH guarantee profit?

Accepted Answer

No. Memecoins can go to zero. Nothing on the site is a promise of return.

Question 5

Do I need a wallet?

Accepted Answer

You can read public pages without one. Posting, voting, chatting, and rewards require a signed Solana session.

Question 6

Which wallets are supported?

Accepted Answer

Sign-in is a Solana message signature. EVM networks are not a working vote path. APEWATCH does not offer a network picker for Base, Ethereum, or BNB as a working chain.

Question 7

Does APEWATCH hold my crypto?

Accepted Answer

No. The session identifies your wallet. It does not custody coins or ask for a seed phrase.

Question 8

Will support ask for my seed phrase?

Accepted Answer

No. Any request for a seed phrase or private key is not APEWATCH.

Question 9

Can I change my username?

Accepted Answer

Yes, from My Profile, if the new handle is 3 to 32 characters and not already taken.

Question 10

Where do market numbers come from?

Accepted Answer

The selected pool feed. If a field is missing, the provider did not send it. APEWATCH does not fill it in.

Question 11

Why is the chart empty?

Accepted Answer

Candles were not returned for that pool and interval. The heading says chart data is unavailable. Market-cap history is disabled on purpose.

Question 12

Why are holders “Rate limited”?

Accepted Answer

Public Solana RPCs often reject getTokenLargestAccounts. The holder row stays UNKNOWN with that provider error unless a working RPC such as Helius is configured.

Question 13

What does APE mean?

Accepted Answer

A public opinion that you are in on that token. It does not buy the token.

Question 14

What does NOT mean?

Accepted Answer

A public opinion that you will wait. The control reads NOT / I’LL WAIT. It is not a short sale.

Question 15

How are votes counted?

Accepted Answer

One current opinion per account and token. Percentages use current public votes only. The board window filters by update time.

Question 16

Can I change my vote?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choosing the same stance again removes it. Choosing the other stance replaces it. You can also remove the opinion from the community panel.

Question 17

How are calls evaluated?

Accepted Answer

The public call label is an unscored opinion. Separately, the reward worker can store prices and a 24-hour check when two prices exist. That check is not the same as an approved stage-3 evaluation policy.

Question 18

Can I change a published call?

Accepted Answer

Comments can be edited by their author. A published call explanation is a public record. Posting another call does not add another vote.

Question 19

How is reputation calculated?

Accepted Answer

It stays 0 until five complete 24-hour checks. Then score is accuracy times a sample factor times 1000, minus 100 per open high-severity fraud flag, from 0 to 1000. See the Reputation article for the exact expression.

Question 20

Why is my reputation provisional?

Accepted Answer

Fewer than five complete 24-hour checks are stored. The tier shows as provisional Baby Ape and Top Reputation omits you.

Question 21

How do I earn XP?

Accepted Answer

From enabled reward rules: profile, verified wallet, published calls within the daily cap, and verified outcomes when the worker records them. Opening Learn pages does not grant XP.

Question 22

How do levels work?

Accepted Answer

Thresholds are 0, 100, 250, 500, 900, 1500, 2500, 4000, 6000, and 9000 XP.

Question 23

Which badges can I actually unlock?

Accepted Answer

The engine writes first_call, 10_verified_calls, and legendary_ape. Other badge pictures stay locked because no rule inserts those codes.

Question 24

Why is a badge locked?

Accepted Answer

Your profile has no row for that code in aw_community.achievements. Locked art is the real image in grayscale, not a random icon.

Question 25

What are BANZ?

Accepted Answer

Off-chain reward credits. They are not a tradable token and have no published cash price.

Question 26

How do I earn BANZ?

Accepted Answer

Verified outcome rules can credit BANZ after two prices and a path that did not fall 50% or more. Publishing a call awards XP only under the default rule.

Question 27

Why are my BANZ pending?

Accepted Answer

The ledger status is pending, not available. Pending credits are not cashed out. Cash redemption is not currently available anyway.

Question 28

Can I withdraw BANZ?

Accepted Answer

No. BANZ cash redemption is not currently available. No payout provider is connected.

Question 29

Why is my reward missing?

Accepted Answer

Rewards pause, a disabled rule, a daily cap, a missing second price, or a failed check all skip a grant. My Profile lists recent grant statuses when the database is configured.

Question 30

What happens if a token is rugged?

Accepted Answer

The safety card does not freeze trading or recover funds. A later price collapse can fail the reward path if a check is recorded. Your wallet loss is outside APEWATCH.

Question 31

How do I report a user?

Accepted Answer

Use Report on the call, comment, chat message, profile, or token. A moderator can hide or restore it. No public support email is configured.

Question 32

Which cookies are set?

Accepted Answer

Sign-in uses aw_community_session and a short-lived challenge cookie. Some older token pages set aw_token_guest. Admin login uses a separate admin cookie. No marketing or analytics cookie is set by this app.

Question 33

What data is stored?

Accepted Answer

Profile fields, public posts, reward rows, and uploaded avatar bytes when you save a photo. Chain data is read from public RPCs and market APIs. See the Privacy draft.

Question 34

Why did posting a token fail?

Accepted Answer

The mint must match a market search result. A DexScreener listing alone is not enough. The daily post cap is 5. A failed search can still consume a post slot because the limit increments first.

Question 35

I connected but my profile is still opening.

Accepted Answer

The connected wallet opens the profile. Refresh the page if it stays on Opening your profile. Sign out disconnects that wallet.

Question 36

The board says tokens could not be loaded.

Accepted Answer

Use Retry on the board. That message means the public board request failed. It is not an empty community.
