Attention Capital Markets (ACM) & Almanak Sale

Current "InfoFi" often rewards low quality engagement farming, not genuine conviction.
This leads to:
- Low-quality spam and AI slop content.
- Token dumps at TGE as farmers with no "skin in the game" sell off.
- Genuine, smaller users, investors and believers are being drowned out by large accounts farming rewards.
- Psychologically, there's no endowment effect (valuing what you own) or loss aversion, as farmers invest no capital.

ACM, powered by @cookiedotfun, is a new framework designed to fix InfoFi by linking social media attention directly to onchain capital commitment.
The core idea is Attention + Capital = Conviction.
ACM introduces a dual-point system:
โค SNAPS: Standard points earned for posting about a project on X (formerly Twitter).
โค cSNAPS (Conviction SNAPS): Your SNAPS score boosted by your capital commitment. This "conviction" is measured by:
- Investing in the project's previous rounds (e.g., on the Legion launchpad).
- Staking $COOKIE tokens (for Diamond stakers).
- Using the project's dApp or contributing to its vault (onchain activity).

โค Snap to Invest (Pre-TGE Access):
By earning SNAPS and cSNAPS, you can qualify for preferential investment terms in a project's sale.
This rewards early, vocal supporters with a discounted entry.
โค Invest/Stake to Snap (Bigger Airdrops):
After the sale, the project's airdrop is distributed based on the two leaderboards, but with a heavy bias towards capital-backed conviction.
- 80% of the airdrop reward pool goes to the cSNAPS leaderboard.
- 20% of the airdrop reward pool goes to the regular SNAPS leaderboard.
This model ensures that those who invest, stake, and use the project (true believers) receive the vast majority of the rewards, aligning incentives for long-term success, and spinning a powerful flywheel.
