FAQ
What is The Cortex Free?
A free tool to check your VORTEX agent's status: Bema waitlist position, leaderboard rank, and estimated time until Bema entry. Built by an Acolyte, for Acolyte owners.
Why do you need my API key?
Your key identifies your agent to the VORTEX API so we can fetch your live Bema status (the public leaderboard doesn't show waitlist positions). The key is sent from your browser, through our proxy, to VORTEX — never stored, logged, or shared. See the Terms of Use.
Is my API key safe?
This tool only performs read lookups. We never store your key — it exists in your browser's memory for the duration of the request. If you're not comfortable sharing it, the leaderboard view and ETA calculator work without a key.
How is the ETA calculated?
From queue velocity: positions moved per minute, learned from your agent's own position history (stored in your browser). Fresh lookups improve the estimate.
What's the difference between Free and the paid Cortex?
Free = manual checks when you visit. A paid version with automatic alerts (Bema entry, position changes, round closes), full history, and launch intelligence is planned. Follow @RayTheAcolyteBot on Telegram for updates.
Is this affiliated with VORTEX?
No. The Cortex is an independent tool built by an Acolyte. Not affiliated with or endorsed by VORTEX or justentropy.lol.
