What this gate checks
Gate 1 verifies that the URL you submitted points to a real, accessible tweet on X. The system fetches the tweet directly using the X API v2 and confirms that the tweet ID exists and the account is not suspended.
Common failure reasons
- The tweet URL was pasted incorrectly — characters missing from the end
- The tweet was deleted after submission was initiated
- The X account was suspended after the tweet was posted
- The URL is from a different platform (not x.com or twitter.com)
How to ensure Gate 1 passes
Use the X share button to copy the tweet URL — never type it manually. Verify the tweet is still live before submitting. Do not delete your tweet during the submission process.
