Social Follow

Last updated: 16 August 2026

Following Grainlify on LinkedIn and X is required to be eligible for the Founding Contributor Pool. It earns nothing by itself — it's a requirement, not a payment.

Looking for points, or for Telegram?

This changed twice: following stopped paying, and the platforms are no longer GitHub, Telegram and LinkedIn. See What changed.

What you need to do​

  1. Go to Settings → Rewards.
  2. Follow Grainlify on both platforms:
  3. Take a screenshot for each showing you're following.
  4. Choose both screenshots, then submit them together.

Both are submitted together​

You choose a screenshot for each platform and submit once. There's no way to submit one on its own, and that's deliberate: a submission that's half approved has no clear answer to "is this person eligible?", and it would leave a reviewer making two decisions that only make sense together.

Your submission is then approved or rejected as a whole.

If your proof is rejected​

You'll see the reason. Fix what it says, choose two new screenshots, and submit again — there's no limit on attempts.

Approval can be withdrawn​

An approval isn't permanent. If it's withdrawn you'll see that it happened, and why, on the same page — and you can follow again and submit new screenshots to become eligible.

What we actually check, stated precisely

Eligibility is confirmed when the pool is shared out. What that check does is confirm that your approved follow has not been revoked. It is not a live re-check that you are still following on the day.

LinkedIn and X don't give us a way to verify a follow automatically, which is why proof is a screenshot reviewed by a person in the first place — and that same limitation applies at settlement. So unfollowing is not automatically detected. We'd rather tell you that than imply a check we can't perform.

What makes a good screenshot​

Make sure it clearly shows:

  • The Grainlify account you're following
  • That your account is the one following it — a visible "Following" button, or your profile in the followers list

Why proof instead of automatic checks​

Neither platform offers a way to confirm a follow automatically, so proof is reviewed by a person. Reviews are usually quick, but during busy periods they may take a little longer.
