Trust bet a post

Reshare a post to your own audience, with your take on top.

A trust bet reshares someone else's post to people who trust you. It puts your name on the recommendation, so your circle sees both the original and that you backed it.

Where to find it: On any post, tap the repeat (↻) button for a one-tap share, or open the ... menu and choose Trust bet to add a take first.

One tap or with your take

  • One tap. The ↻ button shares the post right away. You get a short confirmation that says it was backed and shared to your network, with an Undo if you change your mind.
  • With your take. From the ... menu, choose Trust bet. Write an optional note, pick how strongly you mean it, then press Place bet.

What people see

In the feed, a quiet band above the card says ↻ [your name] backed this. Your take (if any) sits on top of a quote card of the original post. The original author gets a notification that you backed their post.

What a trust bet costs you

When you add a take, you can pick how strongly you mean it, like Endorse or Boost. The number is not shown to anyone. If your network agrees, you earn curation trust back. If they disagree, you lose a bit more than you would have gained. It spends from the curation trust you have already earned, so the higher tiers open up as you build more. If you delete the restack later, you do not get the stake back. The same tiers show up when you stake a vote, with a different control.

Link vs trust bet

Need to send a post outside UpTrust? Use Share a conversation to copy a link. A trust bet keeps the reshare inside the site, in front of people who already trust you.
