Taiko Resolves Reward Distribution for Season 3 Trailblazers

In a recent development, Taiko has taken significant steps to address irregularities that emerged during the Season 3 reward distribution of its Trailblazers program. According to taiko.mirror.xyz, the organization noticed discrepancies that resulted in some genuine participants not receiving their deserved rewards.

Addressing Community Concerns

Taiko promptly responded by creating a feedback form to gather complaints and insights from its community. The initiative underlines Taiko’s commitment to community-centric values, ensuring that the voices of its members are heard and acted upon. The organization undertook a meticulous review process, examining over 3,000 wallet addresses to ensure fairness in reward distribution.

Manual Review Process

The review process was extensive and complex, primarily due to the presence of Sybil accounts attempting to manipulate the system. Taiko employed a rigorous methodology, opting for a “false positive unless there is evidence” strategy to minimize errors. Although this might have allowed some Sybil accounts to pass through, the primary goal was to prioritize genuine users.

Eligibility and Reward Distribution

Following the review, 792 wallets were identified as eligible for additional allocations. These wallets will receive rewards based on their status at the end of Season 3. Ineligible wallets were excluded for valid reasons, which Taiko opted not to disclose to prevent Sybil clusters from exploiting the information in future seasons.

Eligible participants will receive their Season 3 rewards alongside the Season 4 distribution. This decision aims to streamline the process and reduce any potential confusion regarding claim periods.

Future Prospects and Community Engagement

Looking ahead, Taiko is poised to enter an exciting phase with its Preconfirmations era, promising faster mainnet operations and improved user experience. The Trailblazers program continues to offer new opportunities for community involvement, reinforcing Taiko’s dedication to its community-first approach.

As Taiko moves forward, it invites community members to explore opportunities for contribution and engagement, including positions listed on its job board and collaborative efforts on GitHub.
