KFANZIPCONTRIBUTION → PULSE
How my activity moves the fandom
Your actions do not buy index points. Qualified activity joins other fans' activity, passes anti-abuse checks and may then change your artist's Pulse and KFPI.
KFANZIP verifies
Identity deduplication, quality review, daily caps and report status are applied.
→Verified PU is recorded
Eligible activity becomes capped Pulse Units; XP remains your separate personal experience record.
→KFPI is calculated
Verified site activity enters the artist activity factor within a 5% launch cap, and the permanent divisor converts total fandom capital into KFPI.
COMMUNITY TIER
Community tier system
Your tier is determined only by cumulative verified XP. It is a record of sustained contribution, not money, an investment grade, or an artist ranking.
The entry tier where every member begins
A consistently active member; crew applications also require separate eligibility checks
A proven contributor with sustained activity
A long-term member whose contributions have accumulated
The highest recognition tier for long-term contribution
Tiers are recognition labels. Except for published eligibility such as crew applications, no unannounced privilege or financial value is implied.
REAL CALCULATION LAB
Try one real contribution
XP and LIGHT reward the member. Only verified Pulse Units enter the fandom calculation. Adjust the values to see the internal change and the public 0.1-point display.
Member experience
Cumulative, non-transferable experience used only for community tiers. XP is not an index point.
Community reward
A non-cash, non-transferable reward for future site benefits. Buying or spending it never raises Pulse.
Verified index input
Pulse Unit is the internal unit produced only by eligible activity. The minimum recorded unit is 0.1 PU.
BTS PULSE 50.0 · SIMULATION
What makes a hypothetical BTS score of 50?
This is an explanatory simulation, not current live BTS data. The five 0–100 signals produce exactly 50.0 after weighting.
Unique active fans52.0 × 35% = 18.2
Quality contributions48.0 × 25% = 12.0
Helpfulness46.0 × 15% = 6.9
Retention50.0 × 15% = 7.5
Global breadth54.0 × 10% = 5.4
ARTIST PULSE50.0 / 100
Post + Helpful + chat simulation
Default example: one 420-character sourced post, 8 valid Helpful votes and 3 qualified chats in a fandom with 8,200 eligible active fans.
✓The post passes the automatic rules
Internal score50.0005
→Public display50.0
The contribution is stored and the internal score rises, but the public one-decimal score waits for more verified fan activity.
- Posts qualify from 100 characters. Length is capped at 1.25 PU, so padding text cannot keep increasing the score.
- Chat counts: 15+ characters, no repeated text within 24 hours, maximum 3 qualified messages per artist per day; each is 0.1 PU and 1 XP. Reported or removed chat is reversed.

INDEX IMPACT
How much does one action move the index?
There is no fixed +N conversion. The result depends on unique eligible participation, quality, daily caps and the rolling 28-day activity window. Verified KFANZIP activity is limited to 5% of the launch model; official external data supplies at least 95%. My ZIP shows your contribution while the public index shows only aggregated change.
