OKX Wallet has announced the launch of the twenty-sixth season of its popular Cryptopedia series. This edition, centered around the BOB Network and its ecosystem, offers participants the chance to earn a share of a massive 300,000 USDT prize pool in BOB tokens and other exclusive rewards by completing various interactive tasks.
This initiative is designed to help users explore promising decentralized applications (DApps) and engage with new blockchain ecosystems in a guided, rewarding way.
Event Overview and Key Rules
The core premise of Cryptopedia is simple: users complete specific on-chain tasks with partner projects to earn rewards. Season 26 is a dedicated BOB Network showcase, featuring collaborations with several key ecosystem players.
A crucial feature of this season is its equal distribution model for the main task reward pool. This means that all participants who successfully complete and verify tasks are guaranteed to receive a portion of the rewards, making it an accessible event for everyone.
Event Period: The event begins on November 5, 2024, at 20:00 (UTC+8) and concludes on December 4, 2024, at 23:59 (HKT).
Invitation Reward Program
An additional reward tier is available for users who refer friends to the event.
- Task: Share your unique invitation code. A referral is counted as valid once your friend binds the code, holds assets worth more than 10 USDT on the BOB mainnet, and completes at least one Cryptopedia task from this season.
