Yesterday, my four-year-old daughter asked me, “Papa, why don’t giraffes talk?”

I thought for a second and said, “Maybe because some stuff is easier to understand without words.”

She nodded.

The best tech disappears. You don’t think about TCP/IP when you browse.

The best crypto will feel the same: you’ll only notice the value, not the chain.

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@thriveprotocol ... the train is moving!

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@abtijano @thriveprotocol Guardians earn points for every review completed. We'll reveal more about the importance points in the future!

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@Knight22122 @thriveprotocol thank you for your support! yes, there's an extensive internal roadmap, and we will pushing weekly - every week, going forward.

we'll externalize that roadmap likely early in 2026. in the meantime, you'll hear a bunch of updates from me.

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@pepesmemesx @thriveprotocol Great question! Soon, these will be one flow. For now, they are different. So register to get funding at https://t.co/vnPGlMvtJ9. Apply to get on the Power List at https://t.co/QAPer7BvIG.

@Bamzspot @thriveprotocol Thrive is not Kaito. They have a separate project with their own rules and tech. Kaito simply put up a yapper leaderboard connected to thrive. We cannot control their "thresholds" for yappers. We can - and do - rewards Guardians for verifying Power Signals though!

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@Bamzspot @thriveprotocol ... not sure what this means.

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@LiuNengBoy @thriveprotocol Awesome to see you already reviewing❤️‍🔥

If you are unable to find clear data, just skip the review and move onto the next one!

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@zuri_nft @thriveprotocol Yes. This is the start!

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@Romynft @thriveprotocol Yes.

Before: we could fund top builders.

Today: we can offer visibility, distribution, credibility for the value you're creating!

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

Great question. We address possible conflicts in many ways. I'll share a comprehensive article covering this in the next few weeks. To start, here's one way:

Guardians are only rewarded when they verify in alignment with consensus, and they must maintain a certain accuracy level to continue reviewing signals.

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@Rexicon8 @thriveprotocol Happy to help! Your preseason points are all saved and visible on the preseason leaderboard. Season 1 Points reset and start from zero. More here: https://t.co/QBw8anIqdn

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@art_rails @thriveprotocol Awesome. Congrats Nerve! No Season timeline yet - for a whole bunch of reasons (many of which we can't control). But we'll be giving updates often and provide as much clarity as we move forward together.

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@stio_biggy @thriveprotocol @base thanks! just the beginning...

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

proud of our team. @thriveprotocol just helped drive $1B in transaction volume to @base in just two months.

[Thrive Protocol @thriveprotocol]

Our @base leaderboard just crossed $1B in total volume.

Just 2 months in. 10 months to go. Selected projects are driving huge onchain impact as they compete for 3M OP.

The momentum builds onchain. 🤖

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@sandraaasol @thriveprotocol @base @horizenglobal thanks sandra. more sharing to come!

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

over the past few months, I've been behind the scenes with @thriveprotocol ensuring we are creating value at scale for our partners.

we are.

in two months, we've helped drive $1B in transaction volume with @base. the @horizenglobal token has rocketed since we started working together.

etc.

it's a special time for thrive and thrivers.

... so now I'm excited to finally talk about points!

next week, I will share an update on Thrive's official Season 1 points program.

but first, I want to share how we will honor people who participated in an early "pre-season" points program.

the details are here: https://t.co/SUhWSgYGB8

the tdlr; we're memorializing the pre-season points leaderboard, and rewarding all points earners with multipliers on all points earned in Season 1.

... and if you are creating value with our partners, including @KaitoAI and any of our partner ecosystems, we'll reward you with additional multipliers and access.

this next Season in Thrive's growth will be all about community. we're excited to build and grow with you, and to reward your contributions. more soon!

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

don, thank you for your feedback.

yes, now we're excited to talk about points. mostly because i think we can do it in a way that honors the our ecosystems and community.

re: the kaito upgrade, that wasn't a thrive decision. but i apologize if you felt ignored when the leaderboards shifted. that wasn't our intention, but i get that it was real impact that you felt.

our intention this year has been to insure that we have a business and project that can consistently create value for our ecosystems... and then grow a sustainable community around that.

we'll find opportunities to connect around this in future spaces and telegram chats, and i hope i'll have the opportunity to answer any of your questions more directly. thanks again for your note here.

[Daniel Jacobs - Founder, Thrive Protocol @danieljacobs]

@_70la @thriveprotocol @base @horizenglobal then it's up to us to surprise you. challenge accepted!
