It&rsquo;s Goku.
This is my third solo creator tip request for my contribution and impact over the last ~5 months (140 days). The latest one was on October 11, 2024 (for 15K USDT).
Aside from memeposting, my content has typically involved extensive cross-ecosystem research, narrative-building, and positioning Polkadot and telling its story in the most intellectually honest way possible&mdash;often by touching on other ecosystem solutions and how they relate to Polkadot.
For tone, I generally target an audience outside of Polkadot, making the content digestible, engaging, and debunking the noise. I avoid preaching or a didactic style, instead mixing insights with a bit of entertainment to push Polkadot&rsquo;s real value proposition and its contrarian bet.
Over the past 140 days, my content on X has reached over 1.1M views and gained over 900 new followers&mdash;organically, steady, and quality over quantity way.
These posts have been leveraged by KOLs, Polkadot ecosystem projects, the community, and other content creators, creating further conversations and engagement.
Now, with Kaito&rsquo;s mindshare, smart follower, and yap points metrics, we have additional ways to assess impact on X. No metric tells the full story, but it provides some signal nevertheless. The current leaderboard still has farmers, but once adjusted, it will reflect a more accurate measure of influence in the X space. Even in its current form, if you check the 6-month or 12-month range, you&rsquo;ll find me around the top 15 zone. While that&rsquo;s not extremely high, I have one of the highest yap points among active Polkadot agents on X, which serves as a soft indicator of attention-grabbing on broader topics with crypto X inner circles&mdash;which is exactly where I focus.
