Four hundred quackers received $1,500+ drop only for Quacking. Many small accounts received a $10,000+ drop. Examples below.
For some small and medium-sized creators, this, combined with on-chain activity, guaranteed substantial rewards, and they continued driving attention even after the campaign ended.
Moreover, top creators continue supporting the protocol by staking their rewards.
Proved once again, small accounts and real users matter.
Key Learnings
Social + onchain mindshare leaderboard mechanics drive meaningful participation from actual users.
Fundamentally strong projects benefit the most from mindshare campaigns.
Designing mindshare and in-app incentive campaigns with a focus on real users, while making it unprofitable for extractive farmers, helps maintain healthy community activity after the TGE.
