Catapult Trade

I believe airdrops are broken, rewards are broken, and revenue share is broken across the entire space. We at @letsCatapult are going to change that. 1. AIRDROP a) Pre-TGE airdrop farming is fine, but it has to be gamified, rewarding only your most loyal, active community (study Hyperliquid). Make them compete for fewer spots but earn meaningful, difference-making amounts that win you loyalty and bullish posts for life. b) Allocate enough supply to reward post-TGE users and launch an innovative, competitive program that keeps them engaged post-TGE, rather than jumping onto the next project. NOT A SEASON 2. Different from your typical “Season 2” BS farm. Set clear rules for the next batch. For example: Next airdrop happens if : x) a certain token FDV is reached, or y) a specific time frame passes, whichever comes first. c) Split this supply amongst users virtually and build a fun, comprehensive analytics dashboard so they can visualize their bag, its progress, and their own performance. The bag either grows or shrinks as they compete for size through project-related activities (trading, social scores, staking, referring, LPing, etc.). This turns it into a collective community mission to reach milestones and unlock those bags at highs, rewarding everyone significantly. 2. REWARDS Protocols simply don’t reward the user. They reward creators or keep full revenue in-house (won’t name names). Greed has to go. At the same time, rewards cannot be printed out of thin air or be inflationary. (This is why all those “Season 2s,” etc., fail, as they’re just a continuously leaking faucet unrelated to real yield) Everyone should earn from protocol fees as real revenue share, not from inflationary emissions. 3. REVENUE SHARE Revenue share to token stakers/holders only is an obsolete model. Instead, open revenue share to everyone, but limit the total participation to reward high activity. Motivation works wonders when the process is competitive. 4. CATAPULT REWARDS MODEL (Turbo Mode) In Catapult Turbo Mode specifically (Hyper Mode is still in development and will launch later), we plan to reward everyone who interacts with the platform. a) REFS - Earn 10% of protocol fees (volume-based) generated from their referred users who become traders. Momentum-based rewards are distributed and become claimable in USD, close to real time, as trades are executed. b) CREATORS - RNG token creators receive 50% of volume-based fees generated from their launched tokens. These are momentum-based rewards, distributed and claimable in USD upon the expiration of their RNG token’s duration (4H, 1H, or 15M). c) USERS – Earn 50% of bi-weekly, epoch-based protocol net revenues (cumulative), based on their tiered weight in the 10K leaderboard standings. Bi-weekly epoch claims are in USD, provided the protocol is net profitable after all fees. Revenues comes from the 3% edge generated from profitable trades. a) Who are these users? They are traders or mindshare miners who earn activity based scores. Trading scores are based on trading volume. Social scores are based on organic, high-quality social activity on X (continuation of mindshare mining). b) Total rewards are broken down by weight and split by individual user tiered weight in the leaderboard. Scores reset every two weeks to keep the competition fresh and allow constant new inflow of users so no one feels it’s “too late to join.” Only OG users get a small head start with a permanent Social Score base that doesn’t reset every two weeks. c) Bi-weekly Epoch revenue distribution: 70% – Traders (Volume Score) 30% – Mindshare Miners (Social Score) If the protocol is net-negative in a given bi-weekly epoch, a negative balance rollover occurs until the next positive epoch. Rewards are only paid when the protocol is cumulatively net-positive. At the end of the day, you can be only a ref, only a trader, only a mindshare miner or only a creator. Or you can be all 4 and maximize your rewards from across the board. Catapult Turbo Private Alpha launches Thursday, August 28th. If you didn’t participate in our mindshare mining but still want early access, join our Towns community and ask the mods or team members for access. See you all there!
