DEFENSE 01
Vote velocity weighting
Suspicious vote bursts are de-weighted. Real fan campaigns build over days, not minutes.

VOTE & DISCOVER
Your vote.Their stage.
You are not just attending ARGT. You are building it. Vote with your ARGT account when voting opens, back the artists you want to see rise, and help shape the 2026 stages. Artists cannot vote for themselves.
VOTING INTEGRITY
Why $10 fights pay-to-perform, not enables it.
The Backer Vote model is protected by a patent-pending algorithm that defends against the exact abuse $10 voting could otherwise enable.
Patent-pending fair-vote algorithm
DEFENSE 02
Wallet concentration limits
A single backer can't dominate a slot. Diminishing returns kick in after the 3rd vote toward the same artist.
DEFENSE 03
Geographic + temporal pacing
Anomalous patterns (e.g. 200 votes from one IP block in one hour) trigger review.
DEFENSE 04
Behavioral fingerprinting
Bot signatures and farm-style activity are filtered before the leaderboard updates.
DEFENSE 05
Public abuse log
Algorithm interventions publish to /community. Transparency is the point.
