@ puffaw_xyz Community Incentive Update: Week 2 with Activity and Holding as Core Variables Portal: https://gen2.puffpaw.xyz/590860 Puffpaw's ranking system is about to enter its second week, and the mechanism in this round has undergone significant changes compared to the first week: the update frequency has increased, the point logic has been adjusted, and although the recommendation mechanism is still important, it is no longer the main battlefield. The following are several key changes that can currently be confirmed: 1. Upgrade the ranking mechanism to daily updates Starting from the second week, the ranking list will shift from periodic updates (such as weekly settlements) to daily updates of points and rankings. This means that every speech, interaction, and recommendation you make will be reflected more quickly in your score. For active users, this provides a more continuous and real-time feedback competitive mechanism. It also avoids the problem of "locking in the front row with a sudden push in the early stages" in the first week. 2. The recommendation mechanism has a huge effect in the first week, but it triggers sales too quickly The sales pace in the first week was very fast, and recommended links were the core driving force. Users bring in new users through invitation links, earn a large number of Yap Points, and quickly climb the leaderboard. But this model also brings two consequences: One reason is that some users have not had the chance to participate yet, and the related sales have already been sold out; The second issue is that the recommendation mechanism has excessively high weights, which compresses the participation space of other dimensions. The project team has adjusted its direction before entering the second week and is more inclined to include "active content+holding behavior" in the scoring system. 3. The second week is more inclined towards speakers and holders The core competitive group at this stage is: Users who already hold Genesis Pods or other Puffpaw NFTs; Active users who continuously speak, comment, and share on social media (known as yappers); The Yap Points model behind the leaderboard is expected to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of interaction frequency, posting quality, and reposting quantity. That is to say, 'being present every day' is becoming a mandatory indicator. 4. The recommendation mechanism will not disappear and will be used for the next round of sales The recommendation system has not been weakened, but its role has been postponed to the next round of sales and distribution. Your recommendation records in the current ranking will still be recorded and referenced by the project to determine whether you can enter the priority list for the next stage. That is to say, it still makes sense to continue recommending now, but it will not affect the real-time ranking of the leaderboard for the time being. 5. The current stage is the accumulation of behavioral data, which will affect future incentive distribution From the perspective of time nodes, the first stage of sales has basically ended, and now it is the "behavioral data accumulation period". Every time you participate now, it may directly determine whether you will receive: Qualification for the next round of hardware (Gen2 Vape Kit) release; Points refund or reward distribution; Subsequent token airdrop distribution. Puffpaw is essentially a DePIN model of off chain behavior multiplied by on chain incentives - the leaderboard and recommendation system are the two levers of its cold start phase. ✅ Summary: The keyword for the current stage is "active behavior" If your goal is the next round of Gen2 NFT or token incentives, now is the performance period; If you already hold assets, don't wait passively, speak, share, and interact; If you are just observing, you can also accumulate admission scores through daily behavior without the need for recommendations. 📌 Puffpaw Introduction (Project Background) Puffpaw is a DePIN project that combines intelligent electronic cigarette hardware with on chain behavior incentives. Users who use dedicated devices to smoke will have their behavior data (frequency, nicotine intake, usage habits) recorded on the chain for issuing tokens or point incentives. The project has completed a seed round financing of $6 million, with supporters including Lemniscap, Volt Capital, Spartan Group, and others. The upcoming Gen2 NFT package will include a smart Vape and three cartridges, priced below 100, and will be promoted to users worldwide. This round, it's no longer about who pulled faster, but about who left the data. The ranking list has started to focus on behavior, presence, and contribution. Whether you will be seen by the algorithm or not depends on what you do this week. trend is good. @Mable_Jiang @trendsdotfun
