Leaderboards often get dismissed as just noise, but when the mechanics actually shift token distribution, that's a structural change worth noting. Kaito's approach is interesting here—they're using proof-of-stake as a practical incentive layer through @integra_layer. Stack any amount of $TRADE and you get a 1.3× multiplier on your contribution weight. No minimum stake required, authentication stays simple with your existing wallet login, and the badge shows up immediately. It's a clean design for bootstrapping participation without friction. The mechanism essentially reweights the system to favor skin-in-the-game participants, which changes the composition of leaderboard dynamics from pure activity volume to activity-plus-commitment. Whether that produces better data or just different data depends on your use case.
