RM.- Our first round of community polls has closed: 218 miners cast 2,049 votes across 16 questions and shared 2,645 points. Thank you to everyone who took part.

The round had three parts. A 10-question trivia trail tested how well miners know Social Mining, five prediction questions asked where DAO Labs would land by the end of Q3 2026, and a macro poll captured community sentiment on the Fed and the Clarity Act. Below are the answers, the surprises, and the top 10.

By the Numbers

Nearly every participant left with points: 206 of 218 earned a share of the 2,645 distributed.

• Votes cast: 2,049

• Participants: 218

• Participants who earned points: 206

• Prize points (correct answers): 2,000

• Participation points (Macro poll): 645

• Total points distributed: 2,645

• Participants who voted in all 16 polls: 62

• Busiest day: September 15 (843 votes)

Each trivia question carried a 100-point pool and each prediction question a 200-point pool, split among everyone who answered correctly. The fewer people who got a question right, the bigger each winner's share.

Trivia: How Well Do You Actually Know Social Mining?

The community knows the fundamentals well: 28 participants answered all 10 questions correctly, and every single participant knew what a workdrop claim is.

• Question 1: Minimum followers to earn points in the DAOVERSE Twitter Influencer Program — Correct answer: 25 — Answered correctly: 86%

• Question 2: Minimum tweet length for a post to count — Correct answer: 15 characters — Answered correctly: 67%

• Question 3: What automatically disqualifies a tweet — Correct answer: A tweet with no hashtags or mentions — Answered correctly: 99%

• Question 4: What keeps Engagement Marketplace activity real — Correct answer: A P2P validation layer where users check each other's engagement — Answered correctly: 92%

• Question 5: Typical price of a validated comment — Correct answer: $0.03–$0.06 — Answered correctly: 67%

• Question 6: The advantage of commenting on a Featured Post — Correct answer: The multiplier boosts your account's value — Answered correctly: 91%

• Question 7: What comes right after "Timeline" in the standard task format — Correct answer: Instructions — Answered correctly: 66%

• Question 8: Which roles can upload work samples to project surveys — Correct answer: Creative roles: designers, writers, video editors — Answered correctly: 89%

• Question 9: What a workdrop claim is — Correct answer: The mechanism through which miners receive earned points and rewards — Answered correctly: 100%

• Question 10: How often miners typically claim their workdrop — Correct answer: Weekly — Answered correctly: 91%

The task format question was the toughest: one in three participants missed that Instructions come right after Timeline. The fastest perfect score came from proud919, who answered all 10 questions correctly in 44 seconds.

Predictions: DAO Labs in Q3 2026

The predictions were far harder than the trivia: no one called all five, and only 8 participants got four right.

• New Social Mining tasks launched, Sept 15–30: 1–5 (61% called it)

• Blockchain ecosystem with the most active tasks: Other (55% called it)

• Category with the most completed WhoTweets tasks: AI / AI Agents (59% called it)

• Cumulative Workdrop points paid to miners by Sept 30: Over 2,950,000 pts (24% called it)

• Most frequently used content format: LinkedIn Article (6% called it)

Two results caught most of the community off guard.

• LinkedIn Articles beat X posts. 184 participants backed X posts or threads, but LinkedIn Articles came out on top. Only 13 people called it, and each earned about 15.4 points from that question alone.

• Workdrop payouts beat expectations. The most popular pick, chosen by 79 participants, was under 2.75 million points. The actual total passed 2.95 million.

Macro Crossroads: Fed Decision vs. Clarity Act

The community leans toward a rate hike: 76% of the 129 voters expect the Fed to increase rates, and most of them expect the Clarity Act to pass alongside it. Every voter earned 5 participation points.

• Clarity Act passes, Fed increases rates: 53 votes (41%)

• Clarity Act fails, Fed increases rates: 45 votes (35%)

• Clarity Act passes, Fed decreases rates: 17 votes (13%)

• Clarity Act fails, Fed decreases rates: 14 votes (11%)

On the Clarity Act alone, the community is close to split: 54% expect it to pass and 46% expect it to fail.

Standout Performers

Three participants came closest to a clean sweep: @lawal778176, @oludami088 and @pauaremu each answered 14 of the 15 scored questions correctly.

• Most accurate: lawal778176, oludami088 and pauaremu, with 14 of 15 correct.

• Fastest perfect trivia score: proud919, with 10 of 10 in 44 seconds.

• Most committed: 62 participants voted in all 16 polls.

• Sharpest call: the 13 participants who predicted LinkedIn Articles would be the most used content format.
