Trailblazers program moves forward at full speed! Let’s take a look at what is in store for you in Season 4!

Season 4 Begins: March 17th at 12:00:01 UTC

Season 4 Ends:  June 16th at 12:00:00 UTC

Reward Pool: 4.5 million TAIKO tokens, divided as follows:

• 3 million for the Users Leaderboard

• 1 million for the Liquidity Royale Leaderboard

• 500k for dApps

For Liquidity Royale Season 4, the total reward pool is 1 million TAIKO tokens, now split into two tracks based on the assets provided as liquidity. The top 50 of each track will earn 10,000 TAIKO tokens each. Utilize your assets in the track that fits you and climb! For more information on Liquidity Royale, click.

With Lockdown Campaign Season 4, you can lock your TAIKO tokens with Taiko Drips and enjoy a significant Trailblazers XP boost. For more information on the Lockdown Campaign, click.

Experienced Trailblazers know that we strive to keep reward distribution as fair as possible. Once Season 3 concludes, we will begin the verification process, which includes a Sybil analysis and an internal review, and the final reward announcements.

Rest assured, we’re working to complete this process swiftly and ensure you receive your well-earned rewards as soon as possible. Stay tuned for the announcement!

While the core mechanics remain the same, there are still key updates you don’t want to miss. Whether you're aiming for the top of the leaderboard or just stacking XP, here’s what you need to know to maximize your rewards this season.

Taiko Status & Trailblazers

Recently, we introduced Taiko Status, a taskless initiative that creates opportunities for you based on your points gained by holding TAIKO tokens. We are looking to add benefits to Trailblazers based on their Taiko Status. Stay tuned for details.

Reminder: You Need to Mint the Correct Snaefell NFT

If you participated in our Alpha-1 Testnet (Snæfellsjökull), you may be entitled to the Snaefell NFT. But remember, if you are eligible, you must mint the correct one. Please, if you are eligible, make sure that you have the correct NFT. Otherwise, you won’t reap the multiplier benefits from it.To mint the Snaefell NFT: https://snaefellnft.taiko.xyz/

Changes to the Points System

We adjusted some XP amounts gained for certain actions. Discover them, adjust your strategy, and find the best way to climb to the top!

Badges

The rest of the badges will become available to recruit during the season. Keep an eye out so you don’t miss any chances to expand your badge collection! For the season’s start, one badge will be available to recruit. Don’t miss it!

XP & Multipliers

For S4, XP and the multiplier system remain the same as in S3. Get your multiplier as high as you can to gain an edge.

Here’s a reminder of how the multipliers work:

• Snaefel Multiplier = 0.1

• Taikoon Multiplier = 1

• Devs Multiplier = 1 + 0.05 × Number of Unique Dev NFTs (max 1.4x)

• Minnows Multiplier = 1 + 0.05 × Number of Unique Minnow NFTs (max 1.4x)

• Whales Multiplier = 1 + 0.05 × Number of Unique Whale NFTs (max 1.4x)

• Global Multiplier = 1 + Devs Multiplier + Snaefel Multiplier + Taikoon Multiplier (max 2.5x)

• Transaction Points = Base Tx Points × Minnows Multiplier × Global Multiplier

• Transaction Value Points = Base Tx Value Points × Whales Multiplier × Global Multiplier

Example:

If you make a transaction that earns 1,000 base points and own 2 Minnow NFTs, you’ll earn:

1,000 × 1.1 (0,05 for each)= 1,100 points.

If you also own global multipliers, your XP will go even higher! For instance, owning 2 Dev NFTs and 1 Taikoon equals a 2.1x Global Multiplier (1.1x from 2 Dev NFTs + 1x from Taikoon). In this case, you’ll earn:

1,100 × 2.1 = 2,310 XP.

By holding these NFTs, your total multiplier becomes 2.31x (1.1 × 2.1).Point Categories

Participants can still earn points in two categories:

• Transaction - All transactions will earn XP based on the gas spent on them on whitelisted smart contracts.

• Transaction Value - Transactions can also earn points based on the Value being exchanged between users and smart contracts. .

Exciting times are ahead for Trailblazers! We're continuously working to enhance the program and have ambitious plans for the future. If you have feedback or ideas for new features, we’d love to hear from you, join us on Discord and share your thoughts.

Time flies when you're Trailblazing! As we dive into Season 4, we’re more excited than ever about what’s coming next. Your passion and dedication drive this community forward, making it stronger with every step.

Get ready, Trailblazers—let’s make this season unforgettable! 🚀🌟

(1) If the number of the same points exceeds the percentile, we reserve the right to divide up the total reward of that tier among all the people in that same tier (2) Taiko reserves the right to modify the above-mentioned conditions (3) Sybil detection will be applied throughout the season. Taiko reserves the right to blacklist any address from the Trailblazers program (4) Only transaction/contract interactions with the contracts in the dApp leaderboard will be considered to reduce spam.
