Enabling, promoting, and rewarding top-tier data analysis

The moment you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived. The #GodMode mint is here.

By now, you probably know why we’re so damn excited about #GodMode. Unlimited bounties. A private discord section. Exclusive access to virtual and IRL events. First dibs on new Flipside features.

There’s a lot to love.

What we haven’t talked as much about — yet — is why we think #GodMode is good not just for Flipside, but for our community of great analytic minds, and for the space as a whole.

The answer, believe it or not, is fairly simple. It’s all about enabling, promoting, and rewarding top-tier data analysis.

The Flipside bounty program, popularly known as CEA (Community Enabled Analytics) has reached dizzying heights of popularity. And for good reason — these bounties are fueling fantastic data analysis and funding full-time careers for the #bestanalyticminds in crypto.

Thousands of analysts vie for limited bounty claims each week. This process — in which community members crowd around their computers, trying to click faster than anyone else — is reminiscent of whitelist “drops” for popular NFTs.

But there’s a problem.

As it currently stands, this existing process poses a roadblock to analysts interested in honing their skills beyond their peers. For those who possess the drive, solving 10+ bounties per week can enable them to rapidly level up their abilities — and build a full-time career in data analytics.

Some analysts have the time or disposable income to pursue this journey without compensation. However, being limited to a handful of bounties each week means that many, many would-be professional analysts cannot use the bounty program to support themselves while they chase mastery.

Enter #GodMode.

#GodMode is a true utility NFT: a “fast pass” that enables analysts to increase their disposable income. 100 of Flipside’s top analysts received this as a reward for their skill. Others can mint it for .1 ETH or purchase one on the secondary market.

#GodMode means holders who purchase a token can instantly become full-time analysts. No more crossing their fingers when claims drop. No more running into the parking lot for faster internet speeds.

#GodMode means prospective analysts can do bounties as a full-time living without committing to a day job: scale it up when you’ve got time, scale it down when school or other projects are especially busy.

#GodMode means more data analysts with access to the tools they need to forge their own path in web3. It means new users for protocols and projects as they launch or look to find new audiences. And it means better, more in-depth data and analysis for everyone in the space.

We think that’s a great thing, and we’re excited to help current and future big brains reach their full potential.

Happy minting.
