knocks

Earn your spot at the door.

Knocks are doora's social-proof points. Claim doors, bring friends, introduce merchants, show up daily - it all counts. The leaderboard ranks every knocker; the easter eggs reward the curious.

basics

What are knocks?

One knock is one point. You earn knocks for actions that grow doora - claiming an address, helping a friend claim theirs, introducing a merchant, returning the next day. Your total carries a rank (wanderer → resident → neighbor → … → mayor) and your position on the public leaderboard.

Knocks have no monetary value today. They're a way to tell who's shown up. Later, we may use them to unlock perks (priority claim on rare labels, custom themes, partner discounts). When that day comes, your existing balance comes with you.

Ways to earn

Sign up
+100

One-time. Lands on your first sign-in via phone or Google.

Claim a door
+50

Per separate ~4m DIGIPIN cell. Two handles at the exact same pin won't double-credit (small daily cap also applies).

Fill in the address
+25

Bonus for filling building name + floor. 25 knocks per qualifying handle.

Daily check-in
+10

Every IST day you visit /me. Streaks of 3 / 7 / 30 / 100 days pay milestone bonuses.

Refer a friend
+200

Per friend, when they sign up via your handle's CTA. Resolves to your account automatically.

Friend claims a door
+500

Big bounty - the referral 'sticks' when your friend actually claims an address.

Introduce a merchant
+1000

When a merchant you bring in is issued a live API key. Email us - we attribute on issuance.

First share per platform
+10

One credit each for whatsapp, telegram, sms, email, x, linkedin, copy, native share.

Play the 404 snake
+5

Once per IST day - finish a game, get the credit. Practice doesn't pay; showing up does.

Beat your snake best
+50

Each time you set a fresh personal best. Once per score value, ever - replays don't replay the bounty.

Daily streaks

Open /me any time on an IST day to check in. Miss a day and the streak resets to 1 on your next visit - milestones don't unwind, the count does.

Each milestone pays once per user - re-hitting a streak after a break does not repeat the bonus.

Ranks

Seven tiers, named for the role you play around a doorway. The door-and-address motif is the through-line, but the work is the same: show up, build the place, bring people in.

Easter eggs

There are six easter eggs scattered across doora (a seventh is wired up and waiting for its home - keep an eye out). Some are keys. Some are clicks. Some you'll never spot unless you're looking. Each one pays 50–500 knocks the first time you find it.

We won't tell you what they are. That would defeat the point. What we'll tell you is: pay attention to the words, the shapes, the time, the things that feel like they want to be tapped. Knock, knock?

Hints - never solutions - sometimes appear on our home page and in product copy. If you find one, it'll be obvious.

Your knocks are waiting at /me. Or check the board to see who's ahead.
