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 still have to disagree. There has to be a better way to encourage active participation. Airdroping tokens is magical. Accounts get hacked and phising links get posted in trusted channels. Looks like a golden oppurtunity to innovate.
