$DEGEN

For June tipping, we're updating the algo to use social graph data instead of just engagement data. You still need 10k $DEGEN in your wallet, but no minimum posts are required. Rankings drop if you don't tip at least 5 times in the last 7 days. The algo will be updated on Tuesday.

makes great sense - setting the right rate and trying different distribution models realizing that there probably isn't one ideal.  But that process itself seems like it hits the mark.

It'll produce a very different distribution pattern. Hopefully the money goes to people who use it effectively and on behalf of $DEGEN, if indirectly.

Even if it gets gamed and fails, the money still enters circulation at a relaxed rate. That's the bedrock purpose of the tipping game: distribution.
