Mint Podcast

i've been getting questions about my first attempt at a rewards campaign, so i wanted to address them publicly:

q: in an era of phishing attempts, why make users connect their wallet to claim a reward instead of airdropping it directly to their wallet?**

my answer is pretty simple:

1. i want people to become familiar with my leaderboard as a trusted place to view their ranks.

2. if i airdrop the reward, there's a good chance you might not even notice it in your wallet. claiming it requires active participation, ensuring you're engaged rather than passive.

im hoping to build your trust as my XP and rewards program evolves.

I agree and it’s a fair point. Tho I think this is part of building trust with me and the mint pod brand over time. Me working with vetted partners, and products that I battle tested myself before offering them to my audience.
