Frax/Flywheel and JokeRace Launch ARB STIP Awareness Contest

For almost a year, the Frax Ecosystem Educational Incentives brought out the Frax community to generate valuable content across multiple mediums. We want to continue experimenting with grassroots content creation which is why we are proud to announce our first JokeRace contest. Here is what you need to know:

What is JokeRace?

JokeRace is the contest platform for communities to make, execute, and reward decisions. Anyone can go, set parameters on the rules of the contest and who can participate, and launch a JokeRace as an immutable contract. The platform itself is unopinionated in what could be made which vary from games to hackathons to much more.

What Contest is Frax/Flywheel Doing?

For the first Frax/Flywheel JokeRace Contest, we will be holding a competition of who has the most effective tweets about Frax's ARB STIP program. For those unfamiliar, the Arbitrum Short-Term Incentive Program was launched with the goal of increasing the overall TVL on the rollup and Frax was voted to be one of the participants in the effort. As a result, yields on Frax-related pools have been HIGH yet information asymmetry still persists. To increase awareness of the program, we are running this contest.

How to Participate

1. Prepare Your Submission: Create a tweet or thread about Frax's ARB STIP program. Make sure it's informative and engaging to increase your chances of winning.
2. Submit: Enter your submission on Arbitrum within the designated submission period. Anyone is allowed to enter.
3. Vote: If you've staked FXS for veFXS by January 29th, 2024, be ready to vote between February 29th and March 5th.

Voting Details

• Voting Period: Voting is scheduled from February 29th to March 5th.
• Eligibility to Vote: Only participants who have staked their FXS for veFXS as of January 29th, 2024, are eligible to vote.
