Reported campaign outcomes

Deposits, referrals and positions at phase close

Gross deposits count all inflows, including repeated deposits. They are not revenue or the amount still held. The largest 58 depositor wallets, about 1%, accounted for 68% of deposit value.

The challenge

Keep the points program aligned with real positions

The protocol needed deposits, withdrawals, token prices and reward rules to work together from launch. A wallet’s points depended on the value and duration of its position, with referral rewards and partner windows layered onto the same calculation.

Claimr’s role

Build and operate the full points infrastructure

Claimr built the on-chain listener, daily pricing service and per-wallet points engine. It also connected the referral tree, leaderboards and quest campaign, then extended the tracking when the protocol introduced its vault token.

The Claimr setup

One program, from deposit tracking to rewards

The program combined custom on-chain infrastructure with points, referrals, quests and time-limited campaign rules.

Deposits across two chains

An on-chain listener recorded deposits and withdrawals in the accepted staked-ETH assets on Ethereum and an L2.

Daily pricing and points

Recorded token prices converted positions into USD values for daily scoring. Position value, time and configured boosts determined points.

Early and token-specific boosts

Early-depositor and token-specific bonus windows gave the protocol time-based rules to apply within the same points engine.

A 20% referral points share

Referrers earned a share equal to 20% of the deposit-related points generated by their invitees. The referral tree updated with scoring runs.

Partner campaign windows

A quest-platform program qualified deposits of at least $100, while an exchange-wallet promotion added a separate bonus window.

Continuity into phase two

When the protocol introduced its liquid vault token, transfer tracking and additional vault rules continued the points program.

When deposits arrived

82% of deposit value arrived in July and August

The first phase recorded about $7.5M in gross deposits by the end of August, with recording beginning on July 20. Later months added about $1.7M. Early-depositor bonuses were part of the program, but the data does not isolate their effect.

Remaining token amounts valued at the same phase-close price date, January 28, 2025.

Net flows and remaining position value differ because asset prices change. Neither figure represents protocol revenue or depositor profit.

Referral participation

42% of depositors accounted for 71% of deposit value

Wallets with a recorded referrer deposited about $6.5M. Their median total deposit was roughly $235, compared with $121 in the other group. About 610 addresses earned referral points under the program’s 20% points-share rule.

The comparison is observational. Referrer status was not independently established before every deposit, and the volume is concentrated in a small number of large wallets.

Who contributed the capital

A wide depositor base, with concentrated volume

The median wallet deposited about $130, and 86% deposited between $100 and $1,000. At the same time, the largest 58 wallets supplied 68% of gross deposit value. Ethereum accounted for about 55% of deposit value and the L2 for 45%.

Positions at a defined endpoint

64% had a position above $10 at phase close

Reconstructing token balances from recorded deposits and withdrawals identifies 3,645 depositor wallets with positions worth more than $10 at phase close. Separately, 60% of depositors had no recorded withdrawal during phase one.

Each cohort’s deposit share includes its wallets’ deposits throughout phase one. Holdings use the same closing date and prices, but the cohorts have different follow-up lengths. An endpoint balance does not establish uninterrupted holding.

The program continued into phase two with vault-token and transfer tracking. The later export does not provide a single, comparable date for a one-year holding rate, so that claim is not used here.

Partner campaign windows

About 480 wallets first deposited during an eight-day promotion

The exchange-wallet promotion ran across eight UTC dates in late October and early November. The program recorded about 60 first-time depositing wallets per day during those dates, versus 13 across the other dates in the surrounding quest-platform window.

These counts include all first depositors during those dates, not only verified partner referrals. The comparison does not isolate the promotion’s effect.

The wider program audience

Quest participation and deposits were different steps

About 138,000 addresses earned quest points, and roughly 3,400 of them also deposited. That is about 2.5% of addresses with quest points, while representing 59% of all depositors.

These are overlapping groups. The records do not establish that a quest preceded or caused a deposit, and address records are not unique people.

Test the path from quests to product use

Measure whether quests tied to a first deposit change participation. Keep quest points, first deposits and later holdings as separate outcomes.

Define what holding means

Use a common measurement date and an explicit value threshold. Small residual balances can make an “any balance” rate look stronger than it is.

Evaluate concentration alongside growth

Compare total deposits with wallet counts, repeat contributions and concentration. This makes it easier to see how widely a program’s results are distributed.

Methodology

How to read the results

View sources and measurement details

The supplied report, program exports and scoring implementation support this story. Figures use the program’s pricing-day convention, explicit holding thresholds and rounded public values. Comparisons describe one observed program and do not isolate the effect of its incentives.

Scope and identities
The export contains 181,410 address records and 6,726 deposit events from 5,737 distinct addresses. Phase one ends at the scoring model’s January 28, 2025, 13:00 UTC boundary. The deposit series begins July 20, 2024; July and January are partial months. Wallets are addresses, not independently verified unique people. The program’s zero-address exclusion is preserved.
Valuation and the revised headline
Amounts use recorded daily token prices and the scoring model’s 13:00 UTC day boundary. L2 assets use their mainnet equivalents. This yields $9,234,688 in gross deposits. A midnight UTC day convention reproduces the supplied report’s $9,141,005, about 1% lower. The site uses the program-aligned convention consistently. These are estimates, not transaction-time execution prices or an independent on-chain audit.
Missing prices
Where a pricing day is missing, the program uses the first recorded price on or after it, bounded by the available price history. Seventy-six deposits worth about $24,400, or 0.3% of gross value, use fallback prices. The longest gap is 53 days.
Gross flows, net flows and positions
Gross deposits total about $9.2M and withdrawals about $5.2M, each priced on its event’s program day. Their difference is about $4.1M in cumulative net flows. Reconstructed remaining token balances, valued at phase-close prices, total about $3.8M. These measures answer different questions and none is revenue, profit or investment return.
Positions at phase close
Token amounts are accumulated per wallet, asset and chain from recorded deposits and withdrawals. Twelve negative-balance steps are bounded at zero, matching the points engine. At the common phase-close price date, 3,645 of 5,737 depositors have positions worth more than $10 (64%). A $1 threshold gives 3,689 (also 64% rounded). These endpoint counts do not establish uninterrupted holding, and joining cohorts have different follow-up lengths.
Referral attribution
The referred group contains 2,395 depositor wallets with a recorded referrer, excluding the undefined, empty and zero-address values. They account for $6,539,800 in gross deposits, or 71%; the other 3,342 wallets account for $2,694,889. Referrer status is taken from the export and was not independently time-stamped before each deposit. This association does not establish causal acquisition lift.
Concentration and repeat deposits
Wallets are ranked by total gross deposited value. The largest 58 account for 68.4%, the next 516 for 19.1%, and the remaining 5,163 for 12.4%. Percentages may not sum to 100% after rounding. The 558 repeat depositors contributed $5,616,472, or 61%. Deposits can include withdrawn and redeposited assets; they are not unique capital.
Quest and partner measures
Positive quest-point balances identify 137,820 addresses; 3,398 also deposited. This is overlap, not proof that quests preceded or caused a deposit. The partner comparison counts first deposits on the eight UTC dates from October 31 through November 7, 2024: 482 wallets, versus 383 over the other 29 dates in the October 14–November 19 window. These are all first depositors in those dates, not verified partner-attributed acquisitions.
Why later holdings are not a retention headline
Phase-two balances in the export have different update dates across September–November 2025, and some positive balances are worth less than $1. They do not establish a common-date annual retention rate. Transfer records can also represent the sender and recipient sides of one transaction, so the raw record count is not presented as a count of token transfers.
