Boost your DUST Earning Power with DUST Enhancers

3 min readAug 19, 2021

So you heard about magic DUST, did some digging (pun intended) and found the Telegram group. You synced your WAX wallet and created a Telegram username as instructed. Then you started chatting and earning DUST — one. half. token. at. a. time. What if I told you that instead of 0.5 DUST per message, you could earn between 1 and 2.5 DUST? It’s true. If you have any DUST Enhancer or DUST Partner NFT in your wallet you automagically get between 1 and 2.5 DUST per message sent (the exact number is chosen at random at the time your message is sent).

The history of DUST Enhancers

In December of 2020 the first enhancer was introduced.

It was called “DUST Sucker” and interested collectors began to buy them without really knowing the purpose, other than it had something to do with DUST. Shortly after that, “DUST to the Future” was released.

By now, people in the community started hearing about these unique NFT’s and demand began to rise.

In early January of that year, the creators of Blockchain Heroes and DUST project advisors — Joel Comm and Travis Wright who had one of the very first DUST enabled rooms came up with the idea to create a special NFT to commemorate both their collection and DUST. The NFT was named “Dustbusted” and it became the very first DUST Partner NFT. The original thought was that the partner NFT would give a DUST boost to holders chatting in that specific room. But it was later decided that holding any DUST NFT, be it an enhancer or a partner would give the user the 1 to 2.5 boost in any DUST enabled room.

Recently a third generation of DUST earning was introduced — Algorithmic Mining. This programing feat does two things simultaneously: As you send your message in a DUST enabled Telegram room a random number between 1 and 2.5 is generated. This is your base DUST boost for owning an Enhancer or Partner NFT. Then the number generated above is multiplied by the number of Enhancers or Partner NFT’s in your wallet.‌

This means that if you hold 10 Enhancers in your wallet, your 0.5 DUST message could suddenly be a 25.50 DUST message! That’s some valuable conversation if you ask me.
