You may be wondering what’s been going on with Manta’s socials recently. Our newest intern has gone a tad crazy and taken over with memes. But there’s a method to this madness.

Think of memes like going on a night out with the lads (or ladies).

They foster engagement, creativity, and a sense of belonging. They break down barriers, make complex topics accessible, and bring a ton of fun to our daily grind. By focusing on memes, we aim to build a community that is not only active but also deeply connected and enthusiastic about Manta Network’s vision.

In short: the real focus has been (and always been) on fostering community and culture.

One of the proven methods to get people chatting and engaging is through memes. We’ve seen this work wonders, and it’s about time we bring some spice to Manta.

The focus of MEMEta szn is to build a stronger, organic community with real users who are having fun, whilst at the same point continuing to innovate, build, and develop an ecosystem filled with diverse applications and use cases for the community to leverage.

How Can You Get Stuck in This MEMEta Szn?

Here are some initiatives you can get stuck into this MEMEta szn:

BONK x Manta Collaboration

We’ve teamed up with the largest meme community, BONK, to bring you the ultimate MEMEta szn on Manta Pacific. This cross-ecosystem partnership is a significant step toward building and growing an interconnected meme community on Manta Pacific.

Dual Citizenship Rewards

Are you an active member in both the BONK and Manta communities? Prove it and earn Dual Citizenship Rewards in a pool of up to 690k MANTA! Dual Citizenship Rewards are available for anyone who meets the following criteria:

  • Have a minimum of 1M BONK staked via BONK rewards.
  • Once users bond their eligible Solana address to their Manta Pacific address, we will automatically dust their address with ETH.
  • Check your eligibility at bonk.manta.network.

Rewards will be calculated using multipliers of 1, 1.4, and 2 for BONK stakers of 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively. A snapshot was taken on July 11 at 7 AM CET to whitelist eligible BONK Rewards stakers. If you staked on or before this time, you qualify for the Dual Citizenship Rewards.

Active Participant Rewards

Manta will allocate additional MANTA rewards for BONKers to earn through completing various on-chain activities by protocols on the Manta Pacific ecosystem. The more you participate, the higher your MANTA reward allocation will be!
