4 Allocate Tokens to Regions

Your alerts are already live at this point — tokens are the separate question of which areas your subscription helps pay to keep scanned. Point yours at where you play.

Step 1

Browse Available Regions

Go to Token Management to see all available regions and their current health status.

Step 2

Select Your Regions

Choose the areas you actually play in. One token goes to one region, and you can split them across several.

Step 3

Place Them

Your support counts toward those regions straight away, and stays put — each month's new tokens arrive already on the same regions, so you only come back to move something.

Region Health: Check the Token Allocation page to see which regions have the best scanning performance. Healthy regions provide more reliable alerts.
