Our Approach
Clicker’s philosophy is to exclude data we don’t trust rather than try to correct it after the fact. At a high level:- Sends and receives aren’t trades - moving tokens between wallets doesn’t create phantom gains
- Unknown or extreme prices are rejected rather than estimated
- Anomalous traders and tokens are blocked from leaderboards
Price Integrity Safeguards
Manipulated prices are a common attack vector. We validate pricing at multiple levels:Leaderboard Eligibility
Appearing on a leaderboard requires meeting multiple criteria. High PnL alone isn’t enough.
These gates ensure leaderboards reflect active, legitimate traders rather than one-time lucky trades or inactive accounts with historical gains.
Token & User Moderation
Global Blocklists
When we identify a manipulated token or bad actor:- Token blocklist: Admin-curated list of suspicious tokens. When a token is blocked, all affected user metrics are recalculated from scratch.
- Leaderboard-specific blocks: Profiles can be hidden from leaderboards while remaining visible in other contexts.
Manual Curation
Our moderation team:- Reviews PnL leaderboards daily
- Blocks tokens that inappropriately impact PnL across users
- Investigates and removes accounts that appear to be gaming
- Searches for new addresses of known traders across public sources
- Manually adjust PnL values - all PnLs are calculated
- Remove traders without documented reason
- Discriminate against legitimate trading activity
Summary
The result is defense-in-depth: no single safeguard is sufficient, but together they make gaming the system significantly harder than building a legitimate track record.
