What is Signal strength? (e.g. 50% Signal)

Signal is the core metric that determines the level of success of a given project.

For Collection-based projects

• Signal is calculated as the percentage of spots of interest over total available spots
• Signal percentage can be any positive whole number
• More Signal (interest) than available spots is reflected as a percentage greater than 100% — a great sign for highly demanded projects

For Item-based projects (single item auctions)

• Coming soon

Adding Signal

The process by which a user signals their interest in a given project and becomes a backer. This can be done for free using a Pulse or through a paid bid backed with Bars.
