Maestros,

You are destined for magnificent things! I can feel it!

I can sense the talent. The rhythm and flow, the magic in those hands and the music in your bones. It’s time to let it out, Ludwig.

It’s time to create!

Every symphonic masterpiece needs the space to shine and that opportunity has come knocking; the power is right at your fingertips!

Will you snatch it up? Will you become one of the greats?!

Introducing Battle of the Beets — Round 1

For the first time ever we are running a community competition and we want you to craft, compose and orchestrate a symphonic masterpiece of your very own.

You have free reign to decide how important each band member is, how loud they play and how the music jams. Let the music flow and unleash your creativity.

Here is everything you need to know.

The competition

  • Battle of the Beets is a month-long competition to find the best community-made pool.
  • Multiple prizes are up for grabs in the ultimate community showdown for the most popular pool out there.

Apart from musical stardom, what is up for grabs?

  • 10,000 BEETS shared between the top 3 pools.

What are the metrics for success?

It’s not just any musical competition; you need to use that brain of yours, Ludwig. The winning composer will be based on the following:

  • Revenue:TVL — Takes the annualised swap fee and divides it by the average TVL during the period. This ratio shows the dollar amount generated per dollar of TVL.
  • The top 3 pools with the highest Revenue:TVL will awarded $BEETS in the following way: 1st = 5000 $BEETS, 2nd = 3500 $BEETS, 3rd = 1500 $BEETS.

Bonus points will be scored for the following:

  • Unique Users — The number of unique users who have entered your pool. The pool with the highest number of users will win an exclusive NFT.
  • Qualify for gauge vote — If your pool has amassed a TVL above 50k and has a maximum weight discrepancy of 80/20, you will have qualified to enter into the gauge vote. Any pools that make it into the Gauge Vote will be awarded with a special NFT.
  • Innovative pool name — A separate prize will go to the user who crafts the most creative pool name.
