What are Battles & Wars? This is an initiative by INLEO with the purpose of boosting the activity and engagement of communities on the Hive Blockchain, as well as rewarding the communities who participate on the INLEO Platform every single day.
Which Communities Can Participate?
Any community that wants to join the battles & wars can reach out to the INLEO team. The communities participating in this round are:
- FreeCompliments 👑
- Photographers
- Loving Hive
- Hive Run
- Cent
- Humanitas
- HiveBR
- Hive Naija
- Clean Planet
- Emotions & Feelings
- Olio di Balena 🆕
Note: spots are limited. Because we have to track a lot of data via SQL in order to run these contests. Communities must sign up in order to participate. If your community isn't on this list, have your leadership reach out to our team to see if you can participate in the next Community War for September!
If you are a member of any of these communities, then the war for August has begun. The battle for this week is now live. Reach out to your community / community leadership and start participating to earn MASSIVE rewards.
How to Win
Battles are 1 week long. They start each Monday Morning (UTC) and end each Saturday Night (UTC).
To win the weekly battles, there are 4 criteria for each community:
- Total # of threads made by each community (measured by threads in their hashtag)
- Total # of posts (long-form) by each community (measured by posts in their community)
- Total # of comments on long-form by each community (measured as comments to posts in their community)
- Total # of referrals (new user signups) by each community
Wars are 1 month long. They start on the 1st of the month and end on the last day of each month.
To win the monthly war, your community needs to end the month with more points than all of the other participating communities.
You earn points for Threads, Posts and Comments weekly (from 0 to 250 each category) that are accumulated to get the total of the month.
Referral Points and the Representatives System
As onboarding new users is one of the most valuable actions you can do for the ecosystem, we added a whole new section for referrals for the August War.
Each community can organize a team of representative and let the INLEO team know all of their usernames (so that we can track their referrals).
At the end of the month the referrals of these representatives will be counted as part of the total referrals of the community that they are a part of.
- New account sign up = +10pts
- If the new account is active (active meaning that they updated their profile, created at least 5 threads and at least 1 blog post) = +40pts
- Total Possible Points for a New Sign Up = +50pts
We made the points earned for referrals extremely high (up to 50 points per referral). This means that any community who starts onboarding new users has a much higher chance of winning the big prize for each Monthly War.
Leveling the Battlefield
With the first battles and wars under our belt, we've made some changes to the scoring system. This will even the playing field since some communities are much larger than others.
In order to make the competition more exciting to all the communities, the winner of each month will have a hindering effect for the next month:
Each time a community wins, the points earned by action for the next war will be cut in half.
A thread that was 1 point will now be 0.5 points for example - if that community won the last war.
If the community loses a war, it resets to the default value.
This will allow the opportunity for other communities to catch up to the winning community from the last war. It will also motivate the existing winner to maintain their position by working twice as hard as they did in the previous month if they want to maintain "King of the Hill" status.
This month the community with the hindering effect is FreeCompliments. Congrats on your consistent wins! If you want to maintain King of the Hill, you'll have to work twice as hard.
Prizes
Monthly (War) Prizes:
- Winning Community: Double Your Community's Current Delegation From the INLEO Team (for example, if you currently have a 100k LEO POWER delegation, it will double to 200k for the next 30 days. Or if you have 300k, it will double to 600k for the next 30 days.) If you don't have a delegation yet, you'll get a 100k LEO POWER delegation
Note: if you win multiple wars in a row, your delegation will compound. If you lose a war, your delegation returns to its original amount (for example: your community starts at 100k, doubles by winning a war in July. Then wins again in August - you'll have 400k delegated to you in August)
- Community MVP - Nominate 1 Community Member each month to be the MVP of your monthly war. You'll use Polls to nominate this member at the end of each month and the winner will get 1 free month of premium + a 10,000 LEO POWER delegation from the INLEO team for 1 month.
Weekly (Battle Prizes)
- 25k LEO POWER delegated to your community account
- Nominate 1 of your community members (as MVP of the week) for 1 free month of premium using a Poll
Miscellaneous Info
- At the INLEO team's discretion, we may disqualify any attempts to game the competition (i.e. spam spreading comments with no value and blatantly pumping numbers to try and win)
- At the INLEO team's discretion, we may modify the rules. This is a brand new competition and we may tweak the rules & points system on the fly as it matures in order to encourage healthy competition and on-chain engagement
