Fun Stuff:
Yeah, we ran a meme contest in Telegram and it was amazing! You can check out all the memes in their new home on Instagram.
In case you missed it, we announced the meme contest in the lead up to the launch of BLADE — but we had a secret prize up our sleeve! The winner of the meme contest won early access to BLADE which means they got to get their referral code out there before anyone else — lucky duck! The memes are all housed on the Instagram account so our community members can easily promote their own referral codes around the internet.
Stay tuned for more fun contests in the future — and some equally awesome prizes!
