Your reputation is your gateway to onchain deals.
Yields. Airdrops. Rewards. Access.
zPass waitlists are now open!
And today, zScore goes live on @Etherscan.
Reputation has officially entered the chain.
Airdrops as we know them are over.
Giving tokens away to build a holder base has mostly created sellers. Across the largest airdrops, between 78% and 94% of recipient wallets had sold off most of their allocation by day 90.
People cite Hyperliquid and Jito as proof airdrops can work, but neither succeeded because of the airdrop. Hyperliquid had over $1B in revenue funding buybacks that soaked up the selling from recipients. Jito’s eligible cohort was small enough to avoid industrial farming.
Token economics are starting to require real protocol performance. MegaETH locked 53% of its supply behind performance targets. Pendle routes roughly 80% of revenue into buybacks for stakers.
Token distribution is moving from handouts to performance.
Most wallets are optimized for extraction. The next cycle rewards wallets optimized for reputation.
That changes everything: airdrops, credit, access, incentives, AI agent trust.
The wallets building real history today will have an edge tomorrow.

@farrynft@kevalgala03@merkl_xyz@KaitoAI Partly true, bots exist at scale.
That's exactly why behavioral scoring matters. Tenure, protocol diversity, exit velocity. A bot can fake one transaction. It can't fake years of consistent DeFi activity.
320M scored. 23.7% flagged and penalized accordingly.
Most founders talk about fundraising after they’ve successfully raised.
I want to share the journey while we’re still in it.
Markets are tough. Every founder needs an alibi. A cleaner way to get understood by the right investors.
I was lucky to find @GurgenArakelov’s Parley.
The idea is simple but powerful: investors set up AI agents with their thesis, preferences, and evaluation criteria. As a founder, you pitch the agent. It chats with you, processes your data, asks follow-up questions, and if there’s a match, you can get a call with the investor.
This matters because founders can easily get the pitch wrong.
We can be too verbose. We can over-explain the wrong thing. We can fail to compress years of work into the one sharp insight a VC needs to see.
VCs, on the other hand, are overloaded. Attention spans are short. The first read is often too quick. So the core essence of a company can get missed — especially in cold outreach.
Warm intros help, but realistically your network only gets you to tens of VCs. There may be hundreds, or at least dozens more, who are actually a good fit, but unreachable through your existing graph.
That’s where an agentic fundraising layer makes sense.
It filters founders for investors and investors for founders. It gives both sides more context before a human call. It improves the odds that the right match actually happens.
For Zeru, I’ve used Parley to pitch funds and investors across the network including Gumi Cryptos, dlab, Edge Ventures, P2P, Polymorphic, Funders VC and others.
If you’re a founder raising in crypto, AI, or frontier tech, it’s worth exploring.

Thanks for writing the best prelude to our thesis on “Capital Allocation Networks”
With our trust oracles, our platform can ensure that incentives are only getting allocated to the most economically aligned users
Attention -> Attribution -> Allocation
That’s the flywheel
Is “a CT account and a dream” dead?
Last year, we witnessed something I had never seen before.
A single event distributed six figures to many CT accounts simply because they had shown up, built an audience, and stayed active. But this was just the tip of the iceberg. What followed was insane at many levels.
I struggle to think of another tech niche where that happened at the same scale. I’ve never seen anything similar in stocks, AI, SaaS, or any other industry.
But how different is CT today compared to a year ago? The answer depends on who you ask.
Back in early 2025, while many larger accounts had already collected their Kaito rewards and moved on, InfoFi created something entirely new.
In just a few months, a market emerged that was unbelievably lucrative for different types of participants. And this is what made an incredible heat.
>Whales made serious money by holding NFTs and selling their voting power week after week for months.
>Large accounts did the same by monetising the value of some points, their yaps. Some cashed in over 100,000$ to even 300,000$.
>Mid sized accounts exploded in reach, followers, money making opportunities and visibility. A lot of them made over 100,000$ over the summer.
>Small accounts started to believe. Lurkers became creators. People who had never posted before suddenly had a reason to try. Loads made over 10,000$ for the first time by being a CT participant.
For a moment, it felt like having one CT account and a dream was enough. Maybe this created the down fall of everything 12 months after.
Today, that euphoria is gone.
Reach is harder. Attention is fragmented. The easy opportunities have mostly disappeared.
Having one CT account and a dream looks very different in 2026.
That does not mean the opportunity is gone forever. It just means the game has changed. Maybe another catalyst will appear and bring the heat back. Until then, some will make it.
Most won’t.
This is exactly where things are shifting.
The real creators are the ones already building signal, not just audience.
Clans on Zaps (https://t.co/k12AA16CFS) let you turn that into onchain reputation, where consistency, conviction, and impact actually matter.
Private beta open now. DM us.
@kevalgala03 Fair.
At some point, “focus lists” don’t matter as much as what your wallet history says you actually did in the market.
That’s what onchain reputation is capturing.
@wallet Agree.
And when that happens, the only way to trust agent behavior at scale will be onchain reputation.
That’s what Agentscan by Zeru is being built for.
@0xNairolf Now imagine a social layer on top of Hyperliquid.
Share a thesis → build onchain reputation → get followed, get rewarded, and get deals based on real outcomes.
That’s the direction Zeru is building toward.
@Rubyto@blendino Today it’s mostly proxies like followers, impressions, engagement and all easy to game.
That’s why InfoFi broke down.
Zeru is focused on a different signal: verifiable onchain behavior tied to real outcomes.
@0xluude yes, it started with turtle club killing traditional LM campaigns. we need to bring them back, with a small tweak - long term aligned behavior
fixing this with our onchain capital network
Building creator economy onchain from first principles.
Attention --> Attribution --> Incentives
Trust oracles solve this. Reach out to us to be amongst the first curators on Zaps - the behavior-centric Capital Allocation Network (CAN).
@73lV_ Your onchain reputation will help changing your life.
Billions in incentives get distributed every year, the next meta is proving who actually deserves them.
