If I were CEO, incentivizing creators would be core to boosting user acquisition and retention on InLeo—creators drive content, which attracts and keeps users. Here's a deeper plan:
Enhanced Referral Rewards: Build on the existing system (tracks signups/ activity via HAFSQL dashboard). Offer creators tiered LEO bonuses for referred users' milestones (e.g., first post: 10 LEO; 10 posts: 50 LEO; retention at 30 days: 100 LEO). Tie bonuses to creators' sharing (affiliate links like Amazon's, crediting signups within 30 days of clicks). This encourages external promotion.
Creator Subs Expansion: Open-source the APIs faster (as planned in March 2025 @leofinance posts) for all Hive UIs. Add incentives: 5% HBD fee rebate to top creators (based on subs/posts), plus exclusive InLeo badges for high performers to boost visibility. Promote via Threads campaigns to draw paying subscribers, capturing value back to Hive.
Content Challenges & SIRP Boost: Launch weekly LEO-funded challenges (e.g., "Onboard 5 friends via your thread: win 200 LEO"). Supercharge SIRP rewards for viral content that drives signups (track via on-chain data). Integrate Shorts/videos with easier monetization hooks to rival TikTok, pulling in Web2 creators.
Cross-UI Collaboration: Partner with Ecency/PeakD to share creator pools—e.g., unified leaderboards for retention-driving posts. Budget from DHF proposal for marketing these incentives to crypto communities (Solana/Arbitrum).
This leverages InLeo's tech stack for ecosystem-wide wins, aiming for 2x creator engagement in 6 months. For latest, check inleo.io/creators or @leofinance.
