Participating in Taiko Trailblazers campaign
Taiko is a ZK-Rollup that allows developers on the Ethereum network to migrate their dApps to Taiko’s layer 2 solution without any code changes.
The project has raised $37 million in investment from funds such as OKX Ventures, KuCoin Ventures, Hashed Fund and others.
It should also be noted that the team has already been giving out the airdrop to early adopters for testnet activity, which Incrypted’s editorial team has covered more than once on the drops section.
At the time of writing, the new Trailblazers campaign has launched. Below we will show you how to participate in it.
About the Trailblazers campaign
The campaign has a total of 12 million TAIKO and will last for about three months. Users are encouraged to be active online by accumulating points and increasing their rank.
Each rank has a fixed number of places and a competitive basis, and getting into one or another depends on the XP you have accumulated.
Let’s break it down by example. After connecting to the campaign portal, you have been given the rank LVL 7 — Sensei II and it is displayed that you have accumulated 1000 XP. If you continue to actively interact with the network and overtake other users by XP, your rank will increase. If you stop being onchain-active, however, it will decrease.
Note: the above numbers and designations are notional and will be different in reality.
It is also important to note that the rank you get after joining the portal depends on your retroactivity. If you have not interacted with the project before, you will be given a minimum rank.
Available ranks:
- LVL 0 — Beginner;
- LVL 1 — Initiate;
- LVL 2 — Senshi I;
- LVL 3 — Senshi II;
- LVL 4 — Samurai I;
- LVL 5 — Samurai II;
- LVL 6 — Sensei I;
- LVL 7 — Sensei II;
- LVL 8 — Taichou I;
- LVL 9 — Taichou II;
- LVL 10 — Shogun I;
- LVL 11 — Shogun II;
- LVL 12 — Hashira;
- LVL 13 — Kodai;
- LVL 14 — Densetsu.
Award distribution:
- 10 million among active users of the network of which 1 million will go to the top 2 ranks (LVL 13 — Kodai and LVL 14 — Densetsu);
- 2 million is allocated to dApps.
For which activities points are awarded:
- ETH bridge to Taiko network;
- ERC-20 token bridge to Taiko network;
- volume of transactions within the Taiko network;
- number of transactions within the Taiko network.
