For site owners

Put a colossus in your surf bar

Colossari is not a traffic exchange and never will be. It sends you no traffic, takes none of yours, and shows your members no rotation but your own. It gives your surfers a reason to keep clicking — and a shot at cash your site did not have to fund.

1 · Install

Upload one file and open it in your browser. It fetches the plugin, sets itself up and deletes itself — there is nothing to unzip and nothing to paste, because the file already knows which exchange it belongs to. Most owners are done in under five minutes.

On LFMTE there is no upload at all: your own admin panel can fetch it for you. And it edits none of your files — one folder, two database rows, one file in surf_modules/, all removable.

Read the install guide

On any other script: one HTTP call from wherever you already credit a page view.

2 · Owner tools unlock themselves

Registering your site makes this account an owner straight away — nothing to apply for and no email to verify. An administrator approves the port before its strikes count toward a leaderboard or a prize, which is what stops anyone pointing a script at us and calling it traffic.

What you get the moment it fires: your port dashboard, your traffic numbers, and the ability to buy events. A new port is reviewed before it can sell or pay, which is what keeps that automatic promotion safe.

3 · What the plugin sends

POST https://colossari.com/api/v1/strike { "port": "prt_xxxxxxxx", "member": "a91f...", // hashed, never a username "event": "pageview", "ts": 1756512400, "sig": "hmac-sha256..." }

It never sends a damage number. Colossari computes damage from the slayer’s level, gear and the colossus’s weakness. The plugin runs on your server, so anything it claimed about damage would be worth nothing.

Why an owner installs a rival’s game but not a rival’s beacon: Colossari has no rotation, no credits, no surf bar and no members to poach. There is nothing here for your surfers to leave for — the only place to spend a click is your own site.

What it costs

The plugin: Free
Being on the network: Free
Daily earn campaign: from $6.00/day
Home ground tournament: from $7.00
Hunt bounty: $6.00/hunt
Double damage hour: $4.00/hour

Every price above covers the campaign itself — your exchange named on it across every site on the network, the boss and the boards it runs on, and the payouts handled and paid for at our end rather than yours — and funds the prize pool the surfers compete for. You are shown the exact pool before you pay for anything, it can only ever be paid to surfers, and whatever the event does not pay out comes back to you.

One of these exchanges is ours

Surf Galleon is a traffic exchange run by the same people who run Colossari. It was the first site on this network and it is still on it — as an ordinary port, paying the prices in the table above like anybody else.

It gets no weighting. Its surfers deal no extra damage, its events take no priority in the network spotlight, and its pools settle through the same code and the same ceiling as yours. There is no rule in this software that reads which exchange a strike came from and treats one better.

You do not have to take that on trust: every event on the network, ours included, is listed on the open books with what was put up and what was paid out. We are telling you because a network you cannot trust the referee of is not worth joining, and you would have found out anyway.
