😀 @dYdX's third season of the Yapper Leaderboard has begun again. Honestly, I've always been optimistic about this event. Unlike those inflated campaigns designed to boost engagement and hype, this one truly rewards content creators who deliver value.
Season 2 just concluded, and the top 100 creators received their rewards. Now, Season 3 is continuing with a 50,000 USDC prize pool. It runs from July 12th to August 12th, exactly one month. The rules remain the same, but the competition feels even more intense now that everyone knows the value of this event.
The most interesting thing about the judging system is that it's not based on the number of tweets you post, but on the quality, creativity, and impact of your content. The algorithm detects inflated engagement and plagiarized content, making it virtually impossible to cheat. I think this design is incredibly effective and truly encourages people to create valuable content, rather than mindlessly spamming.
Another detail is that if you focus on posting content within the dYdX ecosystem, you'll have a better ranking than accounts that simply piggyback on buzz. This actually aligns with their desired effect: rewarding those who truly care about dYdX's development, rather than those who just want to take advantage.
To me, this SocialFi approach is quite novel. Combining content creation with economic incentives, it turns Twitter into a truly profitable platform. If you're already following DeFi and writing about it, now's a great time to get involved. After all, 50,000 USDC will be distributed to the top 100, so even those who rank lower will still get a good share. It has a leaderboard event on @KaitoAI, Backpack
