Money Market Madness Competition Details

Competition Period:

March 17th at 17:00PST to March 31st at 17:00PST.

Competition Rules:

Users will be ranked by the amount of HARD tokens they have claimed throughout the competition period. Here are the facts:

  • The Kava 5 Testnet Faucet link here will supply a limited amount of assets for users to obtain and use in the HARD money market.
  • Navigate to the Kava 5 Testnet to begin competing for prizes.
  • You may only download from the faucet twice each day, downloading more than twice per day will result in your wallet being removed from the final rankings and ineligible to win a prize.
  • Once you have downloaded from the faucet twice you must wait a period of 24 hours before downloading again, for example you are NOT permitted to download twice at 11pm and then again at 1am. The total number of faucet downloads over the contest must not exceed twenty-eight.
  • You are NOT permitted to use additional wallets in order to obtain more than the designated number of assets from the faucet each day and then transfer them to the primary wallet
  • Only one entry per person. Participants entering with multiple wallets will be removed from the final rankings and ineligible to win a prize.
  • HARD token claims will be distributed to users who Supply and/or Borrow assets to different markets (e.g. BTC, BUSD, KAVA, etc) on the HARD Money Market testnet.
  • The amount of HARD token claims distributed to different markets will change from time to time based on Kava testnet governance. Make sure to stay engaged to earn the most rewards.
  • The interest rates for different markets will change from time to time based on Kava testnet governance. Make sure to stay engaged to manage your positions accordingly.
  • It is permitted to use any Kava/Hard Protocol modules at your disposal.
  • Remember to claim any earned HARD rewards before the end or very shortly after the end of contest as a snapshot of claimed HARD will be taken shortly after the end of the contest and unclaimed HARD rewards can not be applied retrospectively.

Tips to WIN:

1️⃣ Adjust your asset allocation to markets to maximize HARD claim based on adjusted HARD rewards (from governance).

2️⃣ Adjust your Supply and Borrow assets to manage your position when interest rates change (adjusted by governance)

3️⃣ Manage your positions carefully to be aggressive and earn high rewards, without liquidating your testnet position.
