Total Value Locked (TVL) is the heartbeat of any blockchain, influencing everything within the network. At Taiko, we understand that having a sustainable TVL helps foster network stability, enhance user confidence, and drive growth for the entire ecosystem. That’s why we are committed to ensuring sufficient liquidity while delivering the best user experience to everyone who chooses us.

Introducing Taiko Liquidity Royale: TVL Masters Edition

We have allocated 1 million TAIKO tokens from the Trailblazers Season 2 prize pool to Taiko Liquidity Royale: TVL Masters Edition. We would like to clarify that not all of this 1 million allocation came from the user's rewards pool.

Throughout the season, we will conduct random snapshots across selected projects to track the top liquidity providers. At the end of the season, the top 100 participants will each receive 10,000 TAIKO tokens as a reward. This means that regardless of your position within the top 100, as long as you make the cut, you will receive 10,000 TAIKO tokens.

How Does It Work?

• 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 2 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 2.

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

**Don’t Miss the First Snapshot!**Snapshots can happen at any moment! But here’s a heads-up: the first snapshot will happen later this week! 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 go live and you’ll be able to track your standings. We expect it to be ready by Friday—so stay tuned and get ready to climb to the top!
