How the TikTok side works
PowerSwap on TikTok
PowerSwap rotates you through the exchanges you have switched on in a single session, and pays one engagement better per point than running an exchange on its own — 6 actions per point on the free tier against 7. It is offered on TikTok, and it is deliberately not gated on rooms: it is the door that is open when the rooms are closed.
The rotation, and what it pays
PowerSwap is offered on TikTok
It needs at least 1 shipped exchange on a platform to rotate against. TikTok has 1. It is deliberately not gated on a room being open, so it is the surface you use while the rooms are shut.
What it pays, per point
- Free
- 6 actions / point
- 7 on its own
- Pro
- 5 actions / point
- 6 on its own
- Max
- 4 actions / point
- 5 on its own
The rotation
- 1Watch
- 2Saves
- 3Comments
- 4Deep Dive
Watch leads and Saves follows it directly, because a save is only ever the second half of a watch-then-save pair on the same video. The rotation order encodes that rule rather than relying on anyone to observe it.
What PowerSwap is
Running one exchange means a session of the same action over and over. PowerSwap interleaves them: a watch, then a save, then a comment, then a deep dive, round-robin across whichever exchanges you have switched on and which have shipped, rather than draining one before starting the next.
It pays better, and that is the entire reason to use it. The ratio is one engagement better per point on every tier — 6 actions per point on free against the standard 7, 5 against 6 on Pro, 4 against 5 on Max.
The better rate is not generosity. A member who alternates actions produces a more plausible pattern than one who performs forty of the same thing, so the mix is worth paying for.
Why it is open when the rooms are not
A room opens on a headcount, which means that for most of the day every room is shut. PowerSwap is deliberately not gated on them: gating it would close the one door that exists for the hours when every other door is closed.
So its job is to let you earn against the exchanges that have shipped whatever the hour, and bank the points for the moment a room opens. A session also checks you into any room that opens while it is still running, because matching inside a live room is scoped to that room.
What still closes it: the master switch, and a platform with nothing shipped at all. One shipped exchange is enough.
What it rotates on TikTok today
The rotation runs Watch, then Saves, then Comments, then Deep Dive. Save follows Watch directly because a save is only ever the second half of a watch-then-save pair on the same video — the order encodes that rule rather than relying on anyone to observe it.
Of those four, Comments has shipped. The other three are built and held for a member vote, and the setup page shows them greyed rather than hiding them, so the board you see is the real one.
A bonus point is awarded as the session count crosses the improved ratio, which is what makes the better rate real rather than a headline. Below a health score of 95, that bonus point waits 24 hours like any other.
Common questions
Can I use PowerSwap on TikTok?
Yes. It rotates the TikTok exchanges that have shipped, pays 6 actions per point on the free tier against 7, and is not gated on a room being open.
How much better is the rate?
One engagement per point better on every tier: 6 actions per point on free rather than 7, 5 on Pro, 4 on Max.
Can I use it when no TikTok room is open?
Yes, and that is what it is for. PowerSwap is not gated on rooms, so you can earn against a shipped exchange at any hour and spend the points when a room opens.
