Clique Social Red Optimism War - Reviewing Three Events
I dived into Clique Social when they started the Optimism Red Wars, a series of events where the participants were invited to use their blockchain activity to earn $OP tokens! Everyone had chances to earn $OP tokens from their normal crypto transactions and bridging, including metadata activity since the start of 2023.
Clique Social are defined as identity oracles connecting web2 and web3. You can prove data that you own in web2 to a third party and bring it on-chain while preserving privacy. Why? To earn utility from your own data!
I knew I have some fair chances due to the constant use of Across, sending assets to and from Optimism. Across is the bridge that Ethereum deserves, being fast and financially efficient.
Bridging to Optimism trough Across will also bring $OP rebase and moving crypto cross-chain never been more financially efficient. The first of the four events was the "battle of the bridges", with twelve cross-chain protocols bridges provided an additional 11,800 $OP at to the original prize pool of 20,000 tokens.
I was able to claim a generous multiplier from my past cross chain activity, and had a 4457 XP at the end of the event. The bridging activity and the loyalty attestation helped me to finish 617th on the leaderboard and claim 5 $OP tokens. Was great to see Across finishing second, considering is not an aggregator like Bungee and Jumper!
The second event was for DEX users, and my blockchain history gave me a good start. I done a fair volume on Velodrome in 2023 and this was reflected in my XP score. I finished higher this time and my reward was bigger. Claimed 20 $OP tokens for finishing 392 in the second event, and feeling totally zen about the whole experience.
The third event was dedicated to the crypto savvy people using lending protocols, therefore I had no chances for more rewards. Never used lending, but still claimed the attestations. Why? Because claiming all five attestations will give raffle tickets for prizes from a 7,700 $OP prize pool! Let's see how lucky I am!
