XPactsSign inMake pacts to follow each other. Build real connections,
and grow your audience on X — together.
Premium accounts only
You post something good. X shows it to eleven people.
The only ones who reach out want a follow back, not you.
Your follower count has been the same number since spring.
Not because you're not good.
Because nobody's there yet.

The pricing part. Painfully accurate. Saving this for the next launch.

Browse Premium accounts in your niche you'd actually follow.
When they want to follow you too, you form a pact.
You both follow on X. Now someone's there when you post.
Both of you want the follow. Then it's a pact.
Verified accounts. Nobody else gets in.
Pick up to five. The feed is those people.
By hand, on X, and we check with X that it did.
How a pact works
01
You land in your band: Premium accounts in your niches, your size or smaller. Nobody so big they'd never notice you back.

See someone you'd follow anyway? Send a pact. Their record is right there before they answer, and yours is there for them.

They accept. You've got 48 hours to follow each other on X, by hand. Then we ask X whether it happened.

Then the honor window: four weekly checks over a month. Unfollow early and it's on your profile for good. Keep it and your trust climbs.

Who it's for
Pick up to five niches. Your feed is everyone who shares one and sits in your band or below. Nobody bigger.
So every pact is with someone who'll actually notice you back.
At Torch, your room is Ember and Torch. Beacon and up aren't in it.
From the founder
Ammar
@ammar_in_tech
I've paid for Premium for a while. I post things I'm proud of. And for most of that time I've sat at a few hundred followers, watching good posts die in their first hour.
The follow-for-follow crowd found me anyway. Bots, DM requests, people who unfollowed the day after. That's the version of this idea everyone hates. I hated it too.
So XPacts is the boring, honest version. Premium accounts only. Your size or smaller. You both agree, you both follow on X yourselves, and if either of you quietly unfollows, it shows on your profile for good.
I'm in it with my own account. Come find me.

Questions
Anything else, ask on X. The founder reads every reply.
It's the version with the loopholes closed. Same niche, Premium only, your size or smaller, the follow verified through X, then a month of checks. F4F is a DM from a stranger. A pact is two accounts that would have followed each other anyway, doing it at the same time.
Yes. Only public accounts with a Premium checkmark can sign in. That's the whole room, and it's what keeps the bots and the burner accounts out.
Never. When a pact is on, you go to X and follow by hand, then tell us you did. We ask X whether it happened. Nothing is ever posted, followed or unfollowed from your account by us.
Every pact has an honor window: four weekly checks over a month. Whoever unfollows is the guilty side. Their trust drops and the broken pact shows on their profile for good. Yours is untouched.
Your feed is your band and below. A pact with someone fifty times your size isn't a pact, it's a favor they'll quietly take back. Same size means the follow is worth the same to both of you.
Sending or accepting a pact costs one action for the day, and you get 10 a day with up to 10 pacts open at once. Enough to be deliberate, not enough to spray.
Nothing. XPacts is free for everyone right now, same room, same rules. If paid plans ever come, the pacts you already made and the trust you built stay yours.

Pick your niches, find your band, make your first pact tonight. Someone your size is waiting to be found too.
