Airdrops have become one of the most powerful tools in crypto – for growth, distribution, and community alignment. However, time and time again, we see airdrops are also one of the most wasteful tools.

Building and growing blockchain-based apps is entering a new phase where behavior matters more than balance, and where users can unlock rewards, yields, and access based on how they act onchain. This shift has a name: reputation. And now, there is finally a way for everyday users to quantify and use that reputation across the entire ecosystem.

Blockchains have always promised open access. That openness is powerful, but it comes with a cost. The same networks that welcome millions of real participants also invite bots, extractive farming, and throwaway wallets that drain incentives from everyone else. BNB Chain, with one of the most active user bases in Web3, embodies this tension. It is home to vibrant communities, games, and DeFi dApps, but it also attracts relentless Sybil activity.

In this fascinating episode of Exploring the AI Rainforest, we dive deep into the evolution of community engagement and decentralized decision-making with David Phelps, co-founder of JokeRace. What starts as a conversation about building the world's highest-paying tutoring platform evolves into a compelling exploration of why traditional DAOs fail, how gamification can revolutionize participation, and what the future holds for reputation systems in Web3.

Every wallet tells a story. Some sprint through markets. Some sit calmly through storms. Some explore new protocols like open terrain. Some quietly hold the entire ecosystem together. Until now, these patterns lived only in raw transaction history. With zPass, they become something visible, meaningful and rewarding. When you mint your zPass, your wallet is matched to one of the Six Houses of the Onchain Economy. Each House reflects a distinct behavioral archetype observed across millions of i...
