Announcing 26k of $CYBER Rewards for Mint Podcast Collectors

Last week I announced the launch of my master leaderboard powered by Stack.

Today I’m announcing the first reward in collaboration with Cyber, a long-time supporter of the Mint Podcast, who is back to celebrate their new Layer 2 launch on Optimism.

They’ve generously awarded us a 26k $CYBER grant, and here’s how I’m planning on giving it back to you:

  • 13k $CYBER will be allocated to incentivize mints.

  • 13k $CYBER will go directly to rewarding our dedicated supporters.

The goal here is to introduce you to another network on the Optimism Superchain.

Some of you may never have heard of Cyber, so this is their way of introducing themselves to the Mint audience.

Cyber is a Layer 2 blockchain specifically designed for social applications. Built on the Optimism Superchain, it combines high-performance infrastructure with specialized tools for social features to simplify developer workflows and accelerate their time to market.

Holding $CYBER will allow you to explore their ecosystem and try new things on the network.

So that’s why I’m not selling any of it and simply giving it away to you all through retroactive rewards and as an incentive for collecting my content.

They could’ve gone with any community, but they chose Mint for a reason because we’re chronically onchain, in the weeds always experimenting, and we appreciate an opportunity to be first to something new.

With that being said, the first rewards campaign starts today.

Let the Fun Begin

To kick off this collaboration, I’m distributing 4.5k of $CYBER.

There are 3,828 unique individuals who qualify for this phase of rewards. Snapshot was taken Friday, June 28, 2024.

If you collected my original episode featuring both Cyber Co-founders, then you are on the allowlist to claim your share of the 4.5k of $CYBER.

Congrats!

Steps for Claiming $CYBER Reward

Follow these 3 simple steps to claim your $CYBER reward.

  1. Go visit my custom leaderboard customized for this reward. → here.

  2. Connect your wallet.

  3. Claim your portion of $CYBER.

Heads up, you may need to bridge some Ethereum to cover gas. You can learn more about how to bridge to Cyber here.

So that means there’s 21.5k of $CYBER left in rewards to claim over the next two weeks.

Important: If you don't claim your rewards within two weeks of the campaign running, we will reallocate the unclaimed funds to further incentivize the collection of more content.

Buckle up. We’re just getting started.

Cyber's New Vision

Cyber has been a key player in my creator journey, starting in September 2022 where they collected my Season 5 Sponsor Pass for $20k and helped bring 20 episodes to life.

 

Now, they’re taking a step with their new Layer 2 on Optimism which enables the creation of more engaging and meaningful web3 experiences by allowing onchain dapps to integrate social features, like discovery feeds, comments, friends lists, and more.

On Cyber, builders can:

  • Incorporate social features into existing web3 dapps.

  • Build better, decentralized versions of familiar web2 platforms like YouTube, Meta, and Twitter.

  • Create entirely new social apps with no equivalents in web2.

To celebrate, they’ve launched Round 2 of their Ecosystem Grants Program, which allocates 25k CYBER tokens to innovative projects building dapps and developer tooling on Cyber.

BONUS: Participate in the Galxe Campaign

To kick things off, not only are we distributing those rewards to select collectors, but we’re also launching a campaign on Galxe to get the Mint Podcast collectors involved with what Cyber is up to.

Check out the optional requirements to earn some Cyber-native points:

Listen to the New Episode about Cyber’s L2

To give you more insights into this collaboration, I’ve recorded an episode with Cyber’s Co-Founder, Ryan Li.

We dive into why social platforms need a dedicated L2 and what this grant entails. From understanding the history of Cyber to the products they hope to see built on their network, the discussion is packed.

Take a listen below.
