Here’s a breakdown of the Season 3 rewards:

Common Questions

• Why am I not on the leaderboard yet?

Only the top 100 contributors are surfaced. Leaderboards operate on a rolling 30-day window, so older tweets roll off and new contributions take precedence. Keep creating, quality and focus are key.

• What behaviors are penalized?
  

Kaito detects and slashes accounts engaged in:

• Coordinated engagement farming
• Bot or multi-account activity
• Soliciting retweets or likes
  Plagiarism or copy-pasting others’ content

Slashing affects less than 0.03% of accounts and exists solely to maintain fairness and integrity.

• Does posting about multiple projects help me across leaderboards?

Not necessarily. The algorithm rewards focus. Accounts consistently aligned with dYdX tend to perform better than those spreading content thinly across many projects.

• Is content in other languages ranked equally?
  

Yes. Kaito uses multilingual models that evaluate content fairly across all languages.

• Do I earn Yap Points for this?
  

No. The dYdX Yapper Leaderboard is separate from the general Kaito Yap Points system. It specifically measures contribution to dYdX’s ecosystem, not broader Crypto Twitter activity.

Final Thoughts

The Yapper Leaderboard is back for Season 3, spotlighting the voices driving the conversation and shaping the future of dYdX.

This season, dYdX continues to recognize and reward the most insightful, creative, and high-impact contributions across Crypto Twitter.

Post with purpose. Champion the ethos of open, decentralized markets. Help write the next chapter of the dYdX story.
