FAQ

Sign in with your X account. Nock creates an embedded wallet for you and registers your account on-chain automatically — your handle, name, and picture come straight from X. There is no separate wallet to install and nothing to fund first.

No. Onboarding is gasless: a relayer pays the network fee for creating your account so you can start with an empty wallet. You only need funds later if you want to buy keys.

Yes. The embedded wallet is yours alone. Open Settings → Export wallet to reveal its private key and import it into any other app. Anyone with that key controls the funds, so never share it.

Your on-chain username is taken from your X handle by default (lowercased, with unsupported characters trimmed), and claimed on-chain the moment you sign up.

Posts, replies, likes, and recasts — all signed by your wallet and stored on the hub. Use $TICKER cashtags to tag markets; they roll up under Tickers. Follow people to fill your Following feed, and use channels to group conversations.

Yes — open Messages to DM anyone. Key-holder rooms live there too (see below).

Every profile has keys — tradeable shares in that person, priced by a bonding curve. Buying someone’s keys backs them financially and unlocks their private key-holder room. It is the same idea as friend.tech shares.

The price rises as supply grows and falls as it shrinks. The Nth key costs N² ÷ 16000 ETH: the first key is ~0.0000625 ETH, and each one after costs more. When more people buy, the price climbs; when they sell, it drops. Early holders get cheaper keys and can sell higher once a profile is in demand.

Each trade pays 5% to the protocol and 5% to the profile owner. So a buy costs the curve price + 10%, and a sell returns the curve price − 10%. The creator earns from every trade of their keys automatically.

A profile opens its own market by buying its first key — the curve applies from key one, so no key is ever free. After that, anyone can buy.

Yes. If you buy and the price falls (holders sell), or you round-trip quickly, the 10% each-way fee plus curve movement can leave you with less than you paid. Keys are speculative — only spend what you can afford to lose.

A private group chat for each profile that only their key holders (and the profile itself) can read and post in. Buy someone’s key and their room appears under Messages → Key chats instantly.

You lose access to that room — the gate is checked live against your on-chain balance.

Points reward genuine activity: posting, and — weighted higher — the likes, recasts, replies, and followers you earn. The leaderboard ranks accounts by total points. Swap volume and keys held join the formula as those surfaces ship.

Share your invite link from Refer. Anyone who joins through it is attributed to you, and you earn a share of the on-chain fees they generate as trading goes live, plus points.

Launch (a token launchpad on a bonding curve), Swap (trading across every market), and Stake ($NOCK staking for a share of protocol fees). Each is marked Soon in the nav and goes live with its contracts.
