Anti-Cheat & Verification
Anti-Cheat & Verification
To maintain the integrity of the HypeHUB ecosystem and ensure that all engagement is authentic, human-driven, and verifiable, the platform implements a robust anti-cheat and verification framework. This is essential to protect the value of points and the $HPE token, ensuring users only receive rewards for real actions by real people.
✅ 1. OAuth & API Verification
HypeHUB uses official OAuth integrations and platform APIs to verify user actions in real-time:
Twitter: Ensures the user actually followed, liked, or retweeted the target account or tweet using the Twitter API.
YouTube: Checks for valid subscription and video watch time via YouTube Data API.
Instagram: Uses secure OAuth to confirm follows or likes on content.
Discord/Telegram: Verifies join actions via bot integrations or invite link confirmation.
Reddit: Confirms subreddit joins or post upvotes when applicable.
This ensures that the user can’t simply click a button without performing the actual action.
⚙️ 2. Rate Limiting & Point Throttling
To prevent abuse from users attempting to farm points at scale or use automated tools:
Rate Limiting: Users are restricted in how many tasks they can perform in a given timeframe (e.g., 10 tasks per 15 minutes).
Point Throttling: Users with abnormal behavior patterns (e.g., completing 50 tasks in 3 minutes) are flagged and may earn reduced points or face cooldowns.
Platform Load Balancing: HypeHUB adjusts task availability dynamically to prevent mass farming of one platform (e.g., Twitter-only grinding).
👁️ 3. Manual & Automated Review
A combination of machine learning algorithms and human moderation ensures bad actors are removed quickly:
Suspicious Account Detection: Flags accounts with fake profile photos, default usernames, no linked social accounts, or unusually high activity.
Task Audit Logs: Maintains a transparent record of completed tasks for manual review if needed.
Appeal & Reporting System: Users can report suspicious behavior or appeal bans directly via the Support tab.
🤖 4. Bot & Script Detection
HypeHUB employs several technical measures to detect and block non-human behavior:
Device Fingerprinting: Tracks device/browser signatures to detect if the same user is creating multiple accounts.
IP Reputation Checks: Blocks known proxy/VPN or datacenter IP addresses often associated with bot traffic.
Click & Scroll Behavior Analysis: Monitors user interaction patterns (mouse movement, scroll behavior) to detect automation.
CAPTCHA Enforcement: Periodic CAPTCHA challenges for high-frequency users or when behavior seems non-human.
🧩 5. User Reputation System (Coming Soon)
A reputation score will be introduced to encourage long-term good behavior:
Completing tasks without being flagged or reversed increases your rep.
Higher rep = more trusted = better earning potential.
Users with low rep may face stricter throttling or verification.
🔒 Goal: Maintain Fairness and Real Value
HypeHUB’s anti-cheat system is designed to balance growth and fairness, ensuring:
Project creators get real engagement.
Users are rewarded for real effort.
Bots and spam are systematically removed.
By combining technical enforcement, transparent policies, and community reporting, HypeHUB builds trust and sustainability into its reward economy from day one.
