1 Million Giveaway Results
We really appreciate our community and are especially happy when you invite your friends to MAIN, talk about us in your Youtube videos or share project reviews in thematic channels or forums.
On average, from 15 to 30% of users register on MAIN through referral links. These users then show the highest activity on the platform. This is a great contribution to the development of the network.
We already have a referral program that encourages those users who bring new members to MAIN. Anyone who invites a new userы can receive a bonus of 50% of their activity rewards, as well as 3% of their coin purchases. That's quite a lot. In the past month, users have received 337,236 tokens as referral rewards, which is 29% of the total amount of activity rewards.
Despite this, we continue to experiment with our referral program to make it even more fun and rewarding. Quite often there were proposals to introduce a fixed one-time payment for each invited user. We understood this desire, because user activation is a task not only for the inviter, but also for the platform itself. Nevertheless, we were skeptical about this, as we understood that there was a huge space for manipulation.
The giveaway we launched was essentially a variation of this system, where for each invited and activated user you could get a ticket and then win a large amount of tokens. However, to our regret (and, frankly, in line with our expectations), such a system did not work.
After analyzing the tickets received by users, we found that a fairly significant part of them were obtained in a not entirely conscientious way. Some of the tickets were received for accounts that, after registration, were received a small amount of coins from other wallet, and after a couple of post ratings and the formal receipt of rewards for activity, such accounts were no longer active and did not even open the application. Some of the accounts were re-registered and already existing wallets were connected to them in order to formally meet the requirement to create a new account.
All of these schemes are contrary to the key goal of the giveaway - to reward users for inviting new valuable members to the platform. Moreover, they violate the principles of fair competition.
Checking every ticket is a rather difficult task. Even more difficult is to draw the line that would accurately separate a deliberate action to manipulate the results of the competition from a simply not interested referral.
We believe that under such conditions it would be dishonest to sum up the results of the competition in relation to those participants who actually invited real users to MAIN - they would still statistically lose to unscrupulous participants. However, since we can't separate fair tickets from non fair with 100% certainty, we decided to simply distribute the entire prize pool of 1,000,000 tokens equally among all participants.
The good news is that our current referral program is resistant to this kind of manipulation. Users who registered accounts only to get tickets will not receive any significant rewards from them, since rewards are distributed only for users activity. However, those of you who invited real people to MAIN will be able to receive a fairly substantial regular income from them in the case they will use the platform.
In total, 110 users took part in the competition, so the amount of the prize per participant will be approximately 9090 MAIN. This amount may change slightly if some accounts do not pass the final check and are blocked by us or deleted by the users themselves. Prize tokens will be credited to user accounts within 10 days.
We hope for your understanding and thank you for your participation!
