LFGM!
Let’s spread the word that ASTR is THE ASSET of Soneium, everybody!
We need the community’s support to make it go viral!

I agree with the proposal since the treasury is not used. Even if the amount may seem a lot I think it is worth it to attract interest. However I would prefer that the campaign also focuses on these points:
- A balanced experience that does not require you to stay glued to the screen to remain competitive in the ranking. LFGM was ultimately considered full of tasks and a system that not everyone understood (different parameters for each week) and consequently they abandoned the campaign (at least from the Italian community side).
- An optimized system to block sybils or accounts that are Bots. With Yoki origins it happened very often to see accounts with a x10 of the points compared to the second ranked. This discourages participation, and I believe that the purpose of LFGM or physical prizes and too many tasks have driven away airdrop hunters.
- A focus on dApp staking to encourage its use and understand its functionality.
I remain very interested in reading the comments of others, LFGM!

I understand your argument stating that the LFGM rewards have already been distributed according to the established rules. However, we are about to spend $6 million here, and a small allocation divided among at least the contenders who did not win anything would not have a significant impact on the reward pool, while it would be greatly appreciated by the participants.
I do not have the data, but I’m sure a proportion of the contenders were new to Astar/Soneium, participating with the mindset of any MegaChain testnet, hoping to earn at least points for mainnet campaigns. Remember that fewer than 100 participants won something out of hundreds.
For those who have not won anything, not providing at least a small allocation of ACS points would make Astar and Soneium look stingy. I can tell you that many current community members already feel this way after seeing the LFGM reward pool and its allocation (a raffle system), especially since the grand prize and its allocation mechanism have been kept secret for a significant part of the campaign for which many people were expecting a general distribution instead of just a few winners selected by raffle.
You mentioned that being bold is necessary to attract new users, but showing gratitude and consideration to current users is just as important for retaining them.
Regarding your last argument, I believe it is fallacious, as we are only discussing the Soneium campaign, for which only the LFGM and Surge campaigns have been organized.
Regarding this argument, even though stress tests have been conducted with test tokens that hold no value, contenders still invested their most precious currency in this campaign: TIME.
I have participated in many airdrops and blockchain projects, and LFGM has been one of the most tedious and time-consuming farming experiences I have ever encountered, with close to 50 daily tasks. When everything was running smoothly, it took a good 30 to 45 minutes to complete all tasks each day over the course of 90 days, totaling around 45 hours—more than a week of full-time work. Yet, many people received nothing at all, while the projects and Astar benefited from all that valuable data and feedback.
As you mentionned, we can indeed encourage projects to offer some kind of incentive, but in the eyes of users, it is Astar and Soneium who organized the LFGM campaign not the projects.
