Perennial: Navigating the Petals for Potential Airdrops on Base!
Perennial, with its focus on bringing seamless perpetual trading to the Base ecosystem via perp.fun, has been buzzing with activity. Airdrop hunters, pay attention! The project has clearly laid out a “Petals” system, which appears to be their primary mechanism for tracking user engagement and potentially, future rewards. Here’s a breakdown of the key events you need to know to maximize your potential.
Petals: Your Path to Potential Rewards
At the heart of Perennial’s reward system are Petals. These are explicitly stated as being earned through various activities on the perp.fun platform. This points strongly towards a points-based airdrop strategy, so accumulating Petals is your primary goal.
How to Earn Petals:
- Trading on
perp.fun: Since the launch of their “Autopilot” feature in April, Perennial explicitly stated: “Petals are earned with every trade.” This makes active trading on the platform a direct way to accumulate points. - Earn Vaults: Back in early March, Perennial announced that their “Earn vaults” would reward users with Petals, essentially offering double rewards for liquidity providers.
- Referral Program: A referral program was launched in late March (and re-emphasized in May) allowing users to earn 20% of the Petals generated by their referrals. This is a great way to boost your own Petal count by inviting new users.
Frequent Trading Competitions
Perennial regularly hosts “Perpfun Games” or trading competitions, which are excellent opportunities to earn both direct cash prizes and significant amounts of Petals. These competitions often feature leaderboards, rewarding top traders. Keeping an eye on their announcements for the next competition is crucial.
- Recent Competition Example: One competition in March offered $2.5K USDC and 130K Petals, alongside a spot on the upcoming Autopilot leaderboard.
Cryptic Clues: “gperennial”
A recent, albeit short and mysterious, tweet simply stated “gperennial” on May 29th. While no further context was provided, in the crypto space, “g” often denotes “governance” or “staked” versions of a token. This could hint at a future governance token or a staking mechanism that might be another factor for airdrop eligibility or boosted Petal earnings. Keep an eye out for any follow-up announcements regarding this.
