Damn it actually worked for once. They didn’t just steamroll ahead blindly
we've heard the feedback on the current XP system, and we're putting a pause on XP given directly for listing and bidding
while we don’t think liquidity rewards are inherently bad (see more below), we understand that there are a lot of strong emotions towards point systems, and that the NFT market as a whole is in a unique spot right now. we’re building OS to support this space long term, so we’re pausing this part of the rewards program while we think through the best path forward
in the meantime, we'll focus the rewards program on XP shipments -- which were designed as a flexible way to reward broad participation in OS2, such as buying and holding
users that joined our beta early and gave feedback in Discord earned the first round of shipments because they helped us make the product better (thank you!)
our second round of shipments is going out now to a subset of the users that bought an NFT on OS2 -- with XP multipliers if you held an NFT from a top volume project for more than 3 months (the longer the time held, the bigger the boost). check your rewards tab on OS2 to see if you got one
if you didn’t get a shipment this time around, more are on their way. we’ll continue to reward buyers and holders that use OS2
regarding liquidity incentives, I want to be clear about our thinking here: we're operating a business in a competitive space, and liquidity is fundamental to any marketplace. we’re going to be thoughtful about adjustments / enhancements, but liquidity rewards in some form are important to offering a strong product in the market
lastly: I appreciate the feedback. we’ll continue to work closely with those who have helpful ideas. but some of the vitriol I saw on X this weekend appeared to be primarily motivated by extraction / attempts to bring OS down. we’re listening closely as we build, but we won’t be bullied. if you want to help us build the future constructively, we’re all ears.
