Greetings, everyone!

Total Value Locked (TVL) is the lifeblood of any blockchain, driving the network’s stability and growth. At Taiko, we are committed to fostering a sustainable TVL that strengthens the ecosystem, enhances user trust, and supports long-term development. By ensuring ample liquidity, we aim to deliver the best experience for everyone who chooses Taiko.

As Season 2 of Trailblazers draws to a close, Liquidity Royale: TVL Masters Edition will also conclude on December 16th at 12:00 UTC (noon). At that time, the top 100 liquidity providers will each win 10,000 TAIKO tokens.

UPDATE: Season 2 reward distribution took place on December 23. Rewards were sent directly to the winners’ addresses. Congratulations!

We’re thrilled to announce that Liquidity Royale will continue into Season 3! The new season brings bigger rewards and even fiercer competition for liquidity providers. If you participated in Liquidity Royale Season 2, there’s no need to withdraw and re-enter your funds—you’ll start earning points seamlessly afterward leaderboard reset for Season 3.

For Season 3, the top 100 liquidity providers will each win 12,000 TAIKO tokens. This time, we’ve allocated a total of 1.2 million TAIKO tokens! So, as long as you rank within the top 100, you’ll secure 12,000 TAIKO tokens, regardless of your position.

• Everyone is welcome to participate—Taiko Liquidity Royale is open to all!

• Participants have to provide liquidity in designated pools on selected dApps.

• Snapshots can happen at any time, and every point matters. To secure a spot in the top 100, start early and earn points with each snapshot. Only the top 100 will be rewarded, so don’t fall behind!

• After each snapshot, liquidity providers will earn points on a 1:1 ratio to their assets’ USD value (e.g., providing 10k USD in liquidity earns you 10k points).

• Each snapshot is independent. Removing your assets between snapshots won’t result in any point deductions. However, if your assets are absent when the next snapshot occurs, you won’t earn additional points. You’ll only receive XP from snapshots if your assets are locked at the moment the snapshot is taken.

• A separate leaderboard, independent of the Trailblazers Season 3 leaderboard, will track TVL providers throughout the campaign.

• Liquidity providers, with one wallet, can add liquidity to one, two... or all the pools available, we'll make sure that all those points stack into the same wallet for the ranking.

• Taiko Liquidity Royale will continue until the end of Trailblazers Season 3.

• Rewards will be distributed at the end of the season.

Snapshots will begin on day 1 of Season 3! So, make your moves fast and be prepared for the start of Liquidity Royale—securing points early could give you the edge you need to stay ahead.

After the initial snapshot, the leaderboard will update regularly everyday and you’ll be able to track your standings. You can find the leaderboard in the Trailblazers website.

We have partnered with well-known dApps from our ecosystem, giving you the freedom to pick and choose your favorite. Each dApp offers different pools for you to utilize. As long as you provide liquidity to pools with the “Liquidity Royale” tag, you’ll secure your spot on the leaderboard!
