Impact BlockBot (IBB) — New Qualifying Criteria

CARE Support Team

General Questions

What is an Impact BlockBot (IBB)? An Impact BlockBot is a designation within the Win community that recognizes members who meet specific referral, sales, and activity thresholds. Qualifying as an IBB unlocks reward eligibility based on activity across your Impact Blockchain.

Are the IBB requirements changing? Yes. New IBB criteria were voted in on February 5, 2026. The updated requirements replace the old qualification standards. However, because the system code has not yet been updated, there is a transitional plan in place to manually track and reward qualifying members in the meantime beginning April 1, 2026.

The Transition Plan

What is the "holdback" plan? While the code is being updated to reflect the new IBB criteria, a portion of distributions are being held back temporarily, which began on April 1, 2026. Once the updated code goes live, any member who previously qualified under the new terms will receive their rewards retroactively. No qualifying activity will be lost during this transition period.

Do I need to do anything special during the transition? No. Simply continue operating under the new voted-in criteria. Qualifying activity is being tracked manually, and you will receive your distributions once the system is updated.

Old IBB Qualification Criteria

What were the previous requirements to qualify as an IBB? Under the old criteria, you needed to:

  • Meet Connector requirements
  • Directly refer 5 or more friends who purchase and operate an active Win SmartNode
  • Maintain at least $10,000 USD equivalent in Win Community proceeds from transactions in your Connections over the previous 12 months

New (Voted-In) IBB Qualification Criteria

What are the new requirements to qualify as an IBB? As of February 5, 2026, to qualify you must meet all of the following:

  • Operate an active Win SmartNode for at least 6 hours during a calendar day
  • Directly refer 2 or more Block 1 Connections who purchase and operate an active Win SmartNode
  • Directly refer the sale of 4 Win SmartNodes to Block 1 Connections
  • Maintain $10,000 USD value in proceeds from transactions between you and your Block 1 Connections in the previous 12 months

What changed most significantly from the old criteria? The referral threshold dropped significantly — from 5 direct referrals to 2 — making the IBB designation more accessible. The new criteria also introduce a daily SmartNode operation requirement (6 hours/day) and clarify that referrals and transactions must specifically involve Block 1 Connections.

Active IBB Requirements

What does it mean to be an "Active" IBB? Beyond qualifying as an IBB, you must also meet ongoing activity requirements to remain active. You can satisfy the Active IBB requirement in one of two ways:

Option 1 — Monthly Activity: Generate $1,000 USD value per month in proceeds from anyone in your Impact Blockchain where you would have received 1st Block Rewards.

Option 2 — Single-Month Power Month: Achieve $25,000 USD value in a single calendar month in personal sales to your Block 1 Connections. This qualifies you as active for the following 12 months.

What happens if I don't meet the Active IBB requirement? Active status is required to receive IBB-level rewards. If you do not meet either activity threshold in a given period, you may lose active status until the requirements are met again.
