Perkbar pays you for attention that brands actually bought. Here is the whole mechanism: the rate, the limit that protects your notch, what makes earning faster, and the conditions attached to a payout.
Points accrue only while a paid ad is on screen and you are actually at your Mac. If the screen is locked, or the machine has been idle for three minutes, earning pauses until you come back.
A single brand can reach you at most 24 times a day. This is standard frequency capping, and it does two things at once: it stops one advertiser burning their whole budget on one person, and it keeps your notch from feeling like a billboard.
It also means your earning ceiling is set by how many campaigns are live, not by how long you leave the Mac on:
Daily maximum = live campaigns × 24 views × 15 seconds = live campaigns × 360 points.
Because of that formula, the thing that decides your speed is not how long you leave the Mac on — it is how many brands are running. Which means every advertiser who joins shortens the wait for everyone at the same time. It compounds.
Perkbar is pre-launch, so right now only our own campaigns are running and the first reward takes a few weeks. At a healthy campaign count that becomes a matter of days. Growing the advertiser side is therefore the part we are working hardest on, and it is the same work that makes your points worth more.
Everyone joining from the waitlist starts with 25,000 points, credited as soon as you begin earning. You were here before we had anything to show.
We would rather give you the mechanism than a countdown we cannot promise. If no campaign is running, nobody earns and we pay nothing out — that is the whole deal, in both directions.

AI credits and vouchers are handed over the moment you redeem, as long as a code is in stock. Crypto is different, see below.
Brands prepay for impressions. Every validated view bills their budget and credits your points from the same event, so the reward pool can only ever be as large as what advertisers actually bought. There is no daily earning limit, because there is no need for one: if no campaign is running, nobody earns and we pay nothing out.
This also means the economy can change. If the rate or the reward catalogue moves, we will say so, and points you have already earned keep the value they were earned at.
