What you might notice

• Your dashboard shows no available tasks.

• Tasks appear briefly and then disappear.

• You are logged in but cannot begin work.
  
  

Why this happens

Effect Alpha uses dynamic task routing rather than a static task list. Tasks are distributed based on:

• Worker capabilities

• Availability

• Testing phases

• Real-time system conditions

It is normal for tasks to fluctuate.

What to try

• Confirm you are connected to a manager node.

• Check Discord announcements for testing pauses.

• Wait. The manager node will route tasks to connected workers, so depending on where you are in the queue, it might be at least 20 minutes or more before tasks are routed to you. Disconnecting and reconnecting to the manager node resets your place in line.
  
  

Not seeing tasks usually does not indicate an account problem.

What you might notice

• The claim button is disabled.

• Claim attempts fail or do not complete.

Possible causes

• Claiming temporarily paused during Alpha updates.

• Insufficient SOL balance in your worker wallet.

What to try

• Confirm your wallet has a small amount of SOL.

• Refresh and retry.

• Check announcements for claim system status.

What you might notice

• Earned EFFECT not visible.

• Task history appears reset.

Possible causes

• Switching devices or browsers.

• Clearing cache or cookies.

• Platform updates or resets.

What to try

• Log in using your original device and browser.

• Use the same login provider.

• Check Discord for update notices.

During Alpha, your profile is tied to your browser environment.

What you might notice

• Performance score drops suddenly.

Why this happens

Performance score reflects participation patterns.

Score may decrease if:

• Tasks expire while assigned to you.

• You remain connected but inactive. (example: not disconnecting from the manager node when done working)

What to try

• Accept tasks only when ready.

• Reject tasks you cannot complete.

• Disconnect from the manager node when you are done working on tasks.

What you might notice

• Microphone not detected.

• Poor audio quality.

What to try

• Check browser microphone permissions.

• Test microphone settings.

• Record in a quieter environment.

• Refresh and retry.

What you might notice

• Submit button unavailable.

• Submission fails.

What to try

• Ensure all required fields are completed.

• Review formatting rules.

• Check your network connectivity and stability.
  
  

What you might notice

• Claimable EFFECT balance appears missing or reset.

• Previously earned rewards are no longer available to claim.

• The claim section shows zero balance unexpectedly.

• Claim attempts fail or do not complete.

Possible causes

During Effect Alpha, unclaimed rewards are stored locally within your active browser environment until they are claimed on-chain. Because of this, certain actions or conditions may affect claimable balances:

• Browser cache or local storage was cleared.

• Cookies or site data were removed.

• You logged in using a different device or browser.

• Privacy or cleanup extensions removed stored data.

• Platform updates or resets during Alpha testing.

• Your worker wallet does not have enough SOL to cover transaction fees required for claiming.

If local storage is removed before claiming, unclaimed EFFECT cannot be recovered.

What to try

• Log in using the same device and browser where you originally completed tasks.

• Confirm you are using the same login provider.

• Check your worker wallet and ensure it contains a small amount of SOL for transaction fees.

• Add SOL to your worker wallet if needed, then try claiming again.

• Check Discord announcements for any system updates or resets.

Important

Always claim your earned EFFECT before:

• Switching devices or browsers

• Clearing cache or cookies

• Using incognito or private browsing modes

• Running browser cleanup tools

• Ending your working session.

During Alpha, your browser environment is part of your working setup, and local data is required for accessing unclaimed rewards.
