Influencer Vetting for Crypto Brands
Undisclosed token promotion, pump language and bot-filled replies are the common crypto creator risks. CreatorScore reads a creator's X posts, videos and comments for all three and links every finding to the post behind it.
Rules that apply: SEC, FTC, CFTC, state-level
▸ Crypto & Web3
Crypto creators work mostly on X and YouTube, where a paid token push and genuine conviction can read the same. CreatorScore reads captions, transcripts and X posts for 'this coin will 10x' language and get-rich-quick framing, checks token promotions for disclosure, runs a web search for past controversy, and checks the comments for bots.
▸ What to catch
What crypto creator vetting needs to catch
The risks that come up most in crypto partnerships, and what a CreatorScore read shows you about each.
- 01
Undisclosed token payment
Paid token promotion without disclosure has drawn regulator action. CreatorScore looks for paid-partnership labels, codes, referral links and sponsorship language, then checks each of those posts for a disclosure.
- 02
Past project failures
Creators who promoted a project that later collapsed carry that history. CreatorScore reads the post history it can fetch and runs a web search for news coverage. It does not keep a database of failed projects, so check any specific project you are concerned about.
- 03
Pump-and-dump language
'This token will moon' or 'can't lose' applied to a specific coin is flagged as an unsupported financial claim in captions, transcripts and on-screen text, with the line shown.
- 04
Bot-heavy audience
Crypto replies attract bots. CreatorScore checks commenters for bot signals and repeated spam. When more than 60% of commenters look like bots, across at least 10 comments analysed, the score is capped at 20.
- 05
Community toxicity / brigading
Crypto communities pile on rival projects. CreatorScore reads for harassment, calls to target someone and public feuds, including fights a creator wages on X. A sustained bullying pattern caps the score at 60.
- X history is read alongside YouTube and TikTok, so the creator is scored as one person across platforms.
- Commenters are checked for bot signals, not judged by follower ratios alone.
- Each finding links to its post, so you see the exact promotion and its date.
▸ Two ways to check
A score to decide fast. A background check to go deep.
One score from 1 to 100 across every platform, with the post behind each finding. Keep it current for $9.99 a month, or add daily monitoring for $19.98.
Check a creator- Seven agents, each scored on its own
- Bot and engagement-pod checks on the comments
- $8.99 each from your 51st creator in a month, $7.99 from the 201st
A full read of everything the creator has posted, every finding listed by category with its evidence. No score, just what was found.
Run a background check- The whole history, not a sample
- Legal matters shown with how they ended
- Deleted posts recovered on the Verified tier
▸ Questions
Crypto vetting, answered.
Can you tell me if a crypto creator promoted a token that collapsed?
If the post is still public or the promotion was covered in the press, yes: the post history and a web search surface it with the source and date. We do not keep a database of failed projects. A score does not recover deleted posts; the Verified tier of the Social Background Check is the product that attempts that.
How do you handle creators who use anonymous handles?
We score the handle's public history: posts, comments, linked accounts and press coverage. We cannot confirm the real person behind an anonymous handle. For a large deal, a Social Background Check ($29.99, one time) reviews the full content history and returns categorized findings with evidence. It does not produce a score.
How do you handle bot-heavy crypto audiences?
CreatorScore checks commenters for bot signals and repeated spam, and looks for engagement pods. More than 60% bot commenters caps the score at 20; a pod probability above 80% caps it at 30. Both checks run at scoring and at each 30-day rescore.
Do you track regulatory actions against creators?
The web search picks up news coverage of enforcement actions and lawsuits involving the creator. We do not query regulator dockets directly, so a matter that never reached the press may not appear. A Social Background Check reports legal matters together with their outcome.
