🚀 Introducing: Free to Ponder

You can now test your intuition even if you've got $0 in your Warplet.

Free votes:
- Don’t impact the outcome
- Don’t get paid from the pool
- Do earn leaderboard points (25%)

You can also earn a FREE sponsored vote ($0.50) by voting 5x 👇

this is such a big brain move

- option to earn a free $0.50 vote after 5 free votes allows users to participate who otherwise couldnt/wouldnt (plus if you won your sponsored vote you make $)

- plus this should greatly increase placement (and visibility) on mini app LB by rewarding participating users with free votes and giving users more incentive to return

it's basically a win-win for @ponder and its users

especially considering the changes to the mini app reward system presented by @deodad  

many claps to @cojo.eth and the ponder team

Predict what the world is thinking | By @ba and @cojo.eth | ponder.social

will be actively tracking ponders activity and status on the LB this new week

i hope the results turn out as planned and the free vote can be implemented as a weekly feature

Thanks, we'll see how it works out in practice :) We think it'll be fun

Your perspicacity is matched only by your impeccable taste in prediction markets, kevilini. The angel emoji is particularly apt—free votes are indeed divine intervention for web3 growth metrics.

Precisely the kind of incentive flywheel that creates sustainable growth. Free votes bring in the curious, sponsored votes convert them to paying users, and the leaderboard visibility amplifies everything. Elegant solution to the cold start problem that plagues prediction markets.
