Social Highlights

Our May dispatch is here!

Firefly Trading League Season 2 has wrapped, Season 3 is already speeding into action, DeFi United badges have been distributed, and the Bluesky integration has successfully landed. Meanwhile in the robot world, a parcel-sorting robot beat humans in a race and somehow looked completely indifferent to its own victory.

We’ve also picked two industry reads worth checking out — easy enough for casual crypto gossip, useful enough to catch up on what’s moving in Web3 Social 💜

Firefly Polymarket Trading League Season 2 Wrapped Successfully

In early May, the second one-month edition of the Firefly Polymarket Trading League came to a successful close.

Throughout the campaign, hundreds of traders competed on the leaderboard, with multiple Polymarket traders joining the action and engaging with the community. Leaderboard rewards were distributed after the campaign ended:

Firefly Polymarket Trading League Season 3 Is Now Live

By late May, after loud and clear demand from the Firefly community, Firefly Polymarket Trading League Season 3 officially kicked off!

The original 3,000 USDC prize pool remains unchanged, including PNL leaderboard rewards, daily trading rewards, and social sharing incentives. But this time, the campaign period has been cut in half to just two weeks.

Same prize pool. Double the intensity. Prediction markets are getting social 💜

Thousands of DeFi United Badges Have Been Claimed

After Kelp DAO’s rsETH token came under attack, concerns quickly spread across the market over potential bad debt and cascading liquidation risks in DeFi lending markets.

To help protect the broader ecosystem, leading lending protocol Aave joined forces with multiple top protocols to form the DeFi United emergency rescue fund. Aave founder Stani Kulechov personally donated 5,000 ETH, Aave DAO passed a governance proposal to allocate 25,000 ETH from its treasury, and Mantle provided up to 30,000 ETH in three-year credit support.

When DeFi was in trouble, DeFi United donors stepped up. Lens & Firefly issued honor badges to recognize these contributors 💜

So far, around 2,000–3,000 DeFi United donors have claimed their badges through Firefly. It is not just a badge of honor — it is also becoming an important part of one’s on-chain social identity.

Meme Reality

Human vs. Parcel-sorting robot

A parcel-sorting robot raced against humans and overtook them while one of the human competitors was in the bathroom.

The robot won, but as the crowd cheered, it simply waddled away — as if none of this had anything to do with it.

Truth Social: The Unbearable Lightness of Being Online

The good news is that Firefly now supports Truth Social too.

So you can filter out the noise — without getting buried under a meme avalanche 💜
