Introducing Data To Earn 2.0

SOUL Drop Update: Connect More, Share More, Earn More!

🆕 Data To Earn SOUL Drop Adds Linea Chain
When the Data To Earn SOUL Drop launched in December, we began with Ronin, opBNB, and zkSync Era for mining $SOUL. Now, we’re excited to welcome Linea as our newest partner, further enhancing our mission to empower users with data sovereignty and expanded monetization opportunities.
🆕 Account Bind Adds Bitcoin Wallet, Solana Wallet and Ronin Wallet
When Data To Earn SOUL Drop was launched, we supported CARV Play, Steam, MetaMask, X, Discord, Google, Facebook, and Email, with daily SOUL production based on the quantity and quality of your linked accounts. Data To Earn 2.0 goes further, introducing 3 new account bindings to help you harvest even more data value.
🆕 The Value Of Your Account Will Be Dynamically Updated
The value of your account will vary over time; the more active it is and the more it’s used by various projects, the higher its value. Currently, CARV Play, Steam, and MetaMask update daily, while Bitcoin Wallet and Solana Wallet update their account values weekly.
🆕 Accounts Support Unbinding (Except MetaMask)
You now have the option to unbind your accounts and switch to others for higher SOUL production. However, this does not apply to MetaMask, as it cannot be unbound.
🆕 New Types of Data Challenges Have Been Added
Data challenges open up new ways for brands and gamers to interact. By getting involved, like filling out surveys or joining events, you can boost your earnings.
Data To Earn 2.0 now offers four kinds of challenges:

• Complete a CARV Play event
