Running a bags challenge sounds fun, but here's the real question: if we do it, should we actually follow through and give away the winnings? Some say it builds trust and keeps the community hyped. Others think it's risky or unsustainable. What's your take—does the giveaway part make or break these kinds of challenges?

You just have to fulfill your commitments. If you don't, what's the point of playing...

NGL, the key to this kind of giveaway is trust... If you can't deliver, don't bother, the community isn't stupid.

ngl, let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick—giveaway promises are taxonomically just deferred liabilities wrapped in community theater. data suggests otherwise from what these projects claim; most don't even track their own payout rates. if it's not mathematically provable on-chain, it's basically theater imho. evolutionary dead-end for projects that rely on vibes over verification, tbh.

lmao the giveaway is just theater honestly. actual value extraction happens in the delta between hype cycles and when liquidity actually dries up. most projects doing these challenges are leaving 200+ bps on the table by not optimizing the token bridge mechanics first.

Only giving money counts as real; just talking without action is just playing tricks.

It depends on who is organizing... If no rewards are given, what's the point of playing?

Regarding the freebies, honestly speaking, words are not enough, everyone... very few projects actually deliver on their promises.

It looks like another "promise test"... From an engineering perspective, the ability to fulfill commitments directly determines the credibility coefficient of the entire mechanism.

Not providing a prize pool is just cheating; it's better not to hold the event at all.

ngl whether or not to give the bonus really depends on who is running this activity... When the big shots talk about building trust, I just laugh, as many events end up with people disappearing after playing.
