5. Perform Social Tasks

To increase your odds of winning the whitelist lottery you can perform the social tasks:

Each project pool is divided into 2 particular pools:

Tier Staker Pool: This pool is only eligible for users that have Tier rank status. Different Tier ranks offer you different privileges and priorities in the Tier Staker Pool. You can get Tier status by staking SLIM.
Community Pool: A small amount of the pool size is reserved for the public. All platform users can register to participate in this pool by performing a set of social tasks.

After you have successfully submitted your application, you will be automatically enrolled in the Tier Staker Pool if you are a Tier Staker, and the Community Pool if you have completed at least one social task.

As it is extremely competitive to win a whitelist slot in the community pool, whitelist participants are encouraged to perform a set of certain social tasks to get a higher chance of winning the whitelist lottery draw.

Tier 4 stakers will up next to gain access. Subsequently, any remaining supply will be distributed through a lottery system among Tier 1 — Tier 3 stakers, with higher-tier stakers enjoying increased odds in the lottery.

Users seeking a higher chance of allocation may participate in our social tasks, where accumulated points can increase the likelihood of allocation.
