BitVM-Based Bitlayer Provides $20M Airdrop for Dapp Leaderboard Competition, Rewarding Ecosystem Projects and Their Users

SINGAPORE, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitlayer, the first Bitcoin Layer 2 solution based on the BitVM paradigm, announced today that the first dapp leaderboard competition will be officially launched on May 23rd, and will distribute $20 million worth of token airdrops to all projects deployed on the Bitlayer mainnet, according to their ecosystem contributions. Projects can elect to reward 100% of airdropped tokens to their users.

This leaderboard competition is part of Bitlayer's $50 million token developer incentive program, namely, Ready Player One. Upon completion of the competition, the remaining token rewards will be distributed through subsequent leaderboard competitions and the Bitlayer Most Valuable Player (MVP) program.

Time Schedule

The schedule for the two epoch of competitions is as follows:

• Epoch 1: Expected to last 4 weeks, from May 23rd to June 23rd.
• Epoch 2: Expected to last 8 weeks, from June to August (estimated).

Distribution Rules

The dapp leaderboard competition will airdrop $20 million tokens to all projects deployed on the Bitlayer mainnet based on their contribution levels.

What is the contribution level?

The assessment indicators of ecological contribution include TVL, effective transaction number, effective user number, and leaderboard popularity. Bitlayer tracks the above data daily and allocates corresponding Bitlayer Gems to projects.

The definitions for each index are as follows:

• TVL: The total value of effective assets locked on the Bitlayer mainnet.
• Effective Transaction Number: The number of effective transactions made by users calling the dapp contract.
• Effective User Number: The number of effective addresses interacting with the dapp contract on the Bitlayer mainnet.
• Leaderboard Popularity: The accumulated popularity votes of the project during the preparation period.

Projects can optimize the corresponding indicator values according to its own track and product characteristics, such as increasing TVL, increasing user interaction, increasing the number of effective users, and improving the popularity leaderboard to enhance Bitlayer's ecological contribution and obtain more Bitlayer Gems.

What determines the number of Bitlayer Gems obtained by a project?

During the competition, any chain interaction within the ecological application by users will accumulate Bitlayer Gems for the project. The more user interactions, the more Gems the project gets. Data is counted and distributed daily.

When will the airdrop be distributed?

Airdrops during this competition will be distributed daily in the form of Bitlayer Gems and will be converted into Bitlayer Tokens (BTR) according to the rules after the Token Generation Event (TGE).

From the first day of the competition, projects can choose whether to distribute 100% of the incentives to users. If fully distributed, Bitlayer Gems obtained by these projects will be automatically distributed to interact users after the competition.

In addition to Bitlayer Gems, what support can projects receive?

Bitlayer will set up three leaderboards on the official website for TVL, protocol transaction count, and leaderboard popularity to provide extra exposure for outstanding performance and top-ranked projects. In addition, Bitlayer has also set up a $2 million listing fund and  $100 million in liquidity support for all projects.
