Something shifted in the web3 winds this week.

A new kind of scoreboard went live — one that doesn’t track tokens or hype, but something far more vital: community energy. And Irys? They’re riding the wave like it’s their native current.

Galxe’s latest creation, Starboard, is more than just a dashboard. It's a telescope aimed at the stars of the ecosystem — the quiet contributors, the serial retweeters, the consistent onchain actors. All those small ripples that once vanished into the digital sea are now recorded, visible, and valued.

Starboard doesn’t just show who’s making noise. It shows who’s building gravity.

And Irys, ever the early explorer, is already among the first to plug in.

The team didn’t stop at one experiment. Over on KaitoAI, another layer of the Irys ecosystem came online — a leaderboard for yapping. Yes, really.

But don’t be fooled by the name. This isn’t idle chatter. The Irys Pre-TGE Yap Leaderboard is a real-time stage where community voices are ranked, tracked, and celebrated. Each message, each insight, each shared link adds up to something tangible — presence.

It’s reminiscent of early RabbitHole quests, or the Lens Protocol growth campaigns, where showing up early wasn’t just appreciated, it was logged into history.

This time, the metric is momentum. And the only way to catch it?

Web3 is growing up. It's no longer just about holding tokens and watching charts. It’s about participation economies. Irys seems to understand that deeply. They’re not building for passive spectators. They’re building for communities with keyboards in hand and boots on the digital ground.

With Starboard and the Yap Leaderboard, Irys is sketching out a new kind of recognition layer — one that remembers what you did when no one else was watching.

In this new frontier, contribution is currency.

And for those paying attention, the train is already in motion.

Destination: visibility.
