Spider: Frequently Asked Questions
Earning & Points
What are $WEB Points (future tokens)? $WEB Points are the reward system currently used in Spider. These points are not tradable tokens, but will be used to earn future $WEB tokens (once launched).
How do I earn $WEB Points? There are two primary ways to earn $WEB Points: browsing the web with the Spider extension and through referrals.
Do I get more points for browsing longer? Yes, but the focus is on quality over quantity. Browsing a wider variety of content will earn you more points than repeatedly visiting the same websites.
Are there bonus points for browsing specific content? Yes, Spider occasionally offers bonus points for browsing content in specific languages or domains. This helps enhance the quality of data collected for specific AI projects.
How do referrals work? You'll receive a unique referral link after creating your Spider account. Share this link with others, and you'll earn $WEB Points based on their browsing activity.
Are there different tiers for referrals? Yes, the Spider referral system has tiers (Iron, Bronze, Silver, etc.). As your referral network grows, you progress through the tiers, unlocking increased rewards.
Do referral bonuses ever expire? No, referral bonuses for both you and your recruits are permanent!
Owning Spider
What is user ownership in Spider? Spider is built on the concept of user ownership. This means $WEB token holders (coming soon) have a say in the platform's future through a transparent governance system.
How does user ownership benefit me? User ownership allows you to actively participate in shaping the future of AI development by proposing and voting on governance proposals.
What are the benefits of $WEB tokens (once launched)? $WEB tokens will grant governance rights, provide access to exclusive features, and allow you to participate in the Spider ecosystem's long-term growth.
When will $WEB tokens be launched? The official launch date for $WEB tokens will be announced through official channels like Discord and the Spider website.
