Gm Metisians, the Spotlight Campaign is here to supercharge your HyperHack journey!
We are giving selected project teams a chance at the $7500 bonus prize pool, $500 in marketing credit, access to guild talent, and the chance to earn tiered ecosystem rewards. The goal is to boost your visibility and help you grow real users.
Campaign Objective
To empower HyperHack teams to market their projects using a real budget. This is about helping builders grow their audience, activate users, and showcase their dApps across the Metis ecosystem.
How It Works
$500 marketing credits for each project, 50 projects at maximum
$7500 extra prize pool for top projects
Each selected project will receive $500 in marketing credit, split into:
$300 upfront to start your campaign
$200 unlocked later if performance goals are met by August 1
Note: All funds paid in METIS tokens.
$500 Marketing Credit
Each project must create a dedicated X account for their HyperHack product and have at least one marketer (internal or from the Forum Marketing Guild) who will:
- Lead the project’s marketing strategy
- Use the $500 to drive short-term traffic
- Join a Vibe Session to introduce the dapp
- Share referral links via X posts to their forum showcase
Approved Marketing Tactics:
- Quest Campaigns (TaskOn, Zealy, Magic Square): e.g. “Follow + Retweet + Test dapp + Join Forum”
- AMA Airdrops: Host AMAs on X and airdrop to the Metis community
- Twitter Ads: Use paid ads to boost visibility (marketer must help set this up)
- Custom Strategies: Teams are also encouraged to try any other creative ideas tailored to their product and audience
Note: Marketer’s name and focus must be listed in the application (e.g., Marketing Lead: @Handle – Focus: Memes & Spaces).
How We Track Performance
Projects will be scored across three categories during July 15 to August 1:
75% X account growth and quality (verified via TwitterAudit)
