I am trying to determine if it still makes sense to use Bounty for promotion of crypto projects - has there been any successful projects that actually used Bounty and then awarded bounty participants? In any niche, DNFs , Gaming, ICOs any type of fundraising campaigns
Nothing comes to mind. At least not recently. I think so many people were burned in 2018 by projects they believed in and invested their money into, that the community has become rightfully cynical of most of the offerings here. Its a bit of a shame as that attitude will certainly hinder innovation, but at least it keeps people from throwing their money away in scams.
I think uniswap did it properly didn't they? I can't remember how much it was but they gave like 700 dollars worth or something when they did bounty, or was it airdrop? I am not sure what it was called, but people participated into something, did a few things and got that much money in return.
That is by far the highest I remember and one of the main reasons was that they were one of the biggest DeFi projects of their time, not the very first, but very early on and the biggest that got the whole attention as well, all the other big ones came after uniswap. Which meant that people were interested in that project, and the tokens they distributed actually worth something because of this.
