Got a lot of DMs lately like: “can I mint REP ranks already?” “when does it actually start?” So, to clarify the situation: ranks are already available for minting. And that timing matters more than people think. ---------- What a rank actually represents: • your onchain footprint (txs, assets, activity) • your social graph (who you’re connected to, who trusts you) • your position relative to everyone else, not an absolute score As more people join, holding or climbing becomes harder ---------- Why minting early is important: • fewer participants = less dilution • your baseline is locked before the crowd arrives Once demand spikes, you’re not “early but late” - you’re just late. ---------- How the meta usually plays out: phase 1: nobody cares, ranks look boring phase 2: builders + power users start minting phase 3: people realize reputation = access phase 4: everyone rushes in, edge is gone We’re still between phase 1 and 2. ---------- The mistake most people make: waiting for “confirmation” waiting for “utility” waiting until it’s obvious By the time it’s obvious, it’s already priced in socially. Once ranks are live, attention shifts fast.
