Campaign Objective

To empower HyperHack teams to market their projects using a real budget. This is about helping builders grow their audience, activate users, and showcase their dApps across the Metis ecosystem.

How It Works

• $500 marketing credit for each project, 50 projects at maximum

• $7500 extra prize pool for top projects

Each selected project will receive $500 in marketing credit, split into:

• $300 upfront to start your campaign

• $200 unlocked later if performance goals are met by August 1
‍

$500 Marketing Credit

‍Each project must create a dedicated X account for their HyperHack product and have at least one marketer (internal or from the Forum Marketing Guild) who will:

1. Lead the project’s marketing strategy

2. Use the $500 to drive short-term traffic

3. Join a Vibe Session to introduce the dapp

4. Share referral links via X posts to their forum showcase

Approved Marketing Tactics

‍
• Quest Campaigns (TaskOn, Zealy, Magic Square): e.g. “Follow + Retweet + Test dapp + Join Forum”

• Spaces AMA Airdrops: Host AMAs on X and airdrop to the Metis community

• Twitter Ads: Use paid ads to boost visibility (marketer must help set this up)
