Promotional incentives
After this page you should be able to tell a distribution purchase from a measurement.
What is paid
DexScreener boosts, where the upstream trending file labels them, are paid distribution. They are not organic demand and they are not a scan. This ranking is not sponsored. A row’s place is the public file’s market-cap order, not a placement someone bought from this site.
An account that holds a token has a reason to talk about it. Enthusiasm can be sincere and still not be disinterested. The lead essay on attention is the longer form of that point. It is not a finding about a specific promoter.
What this desk will not do
It will not treat a project’s announcement as evidence the product is used. It will not write an interview that did not happen. It will not infer a person’s name from a wallet. Promotion is labelled as promotion when the source says it is paid. Everything else stays an observation or a gap.
Check
Is a labelled DexScreener boost evidence of organic demand?
No. Where the file labels it, it is paid distribution.
