Since the launch of the Ice project, we have been committed to cultivating a community of long-term and enthusiastic supporters. These supporters share our vision for the future of decentralized technology. As the project grew, we realized that it was necessary to take certain measures to ensure the integrity and longevity of the project, one of which was the mandatory implementation of Ice Quiz.
Analyze user behavior
In behavioral analysis after the initial launch, we identified the need for a more rigorous approach to onboarding and engagement. While the initial distribution model had its merits, many users were only interested in short-term gains and failed to align with our project's core values and long-term goals. This discovery prompts us to take more rigorous measures to ensure the quality of our community members.
Reasons behind the quiz: Ice Quiz is a required course for all users, mainly based on the following considerations:
Cultivate Commitment: Our goal is to build a community of committed individuals who understand and believe in Project Ice’s vision. By requiring all users to complete the quiz, we can ensure that community members are truly interested in the long-term success of the project, especially the upcoming mainnet launch.
show trust
The Ice team has invested $5 million of its own capital into the growth and development of the program, with another $5 million needed for the upcoming mainnet launch. This significant investment not only demonstrates our strong commitment to Ice's success, but also demonstrates our confidence in the long-term potential of the project. The growth pool address (0x576fE98558147a2a54fc5f4a374d46d6d9DD0b81) holds 357,952,996.45 ICE tokens, showing the importance we place on the well-being of our community as we are not selling any tokens.
Sustainability and Quality: Testing is implemented to maintain the quality and sustainability of the Ice ecosystem. By reducing the total supply and focusing on engaged and informed users, we hope to lay a stronger foundation for the future growth, development and mass adoption of mainnet.
Testing mechanism
Users have three chances to pass the quiz within two weeks. If it fails, or no action is taken within two weeks, your account will permanently enter the slashing state and cannot be recovered. Users who pass the test but wish to receive allocations will have 30% of the fees deducted from their allocation balance, which will be allocated to the Ice mainnet’s dedicated reward pool to reward validators, nodes, creators, etc. The reward pool address is 0xcF03ffFA7D25f803Ff2c4c5CEdCDCb1584C5b32C.
For users who do not want to be deducted, they can delete their BSC address from the application, choose not to receive the current first-stage allocation, and wait for the main network allocation.
Expected impacts and next steps
After implementing the test, we expect the total supply of Ice tokens to be significantly reduced, approximately 10-15% of the current supply. Going forward, only users who pass the test will receive a verification badge, signifying their commitment to Project Ice. The available balance available for distribution will only include bonuses for referrals who complete the quiz. This change may result in a reduction in your available balance.
Distribution will resume in the coming days and will be limited to those who successfully complete the quiz and qualify. In order to improve the sustainability of the project, we plan to implement half price every month starting in March.
Maintaining Integrity: Beware of Quiz Sharing: We would like to reiterate the importance of maintaining the integrity of Ice quizzes. If any user is found sharing test questions or screenshots online, regardless of their test scores, they will be immediately banned from the platform.
Summary: Building Stronger Communities
Implementing a mandatory Ice Quiz is a critical step in building a community of long-term, committed supporters. We believe that by aligning our community with the core values and vision of the project, we can achieve greater success in the decentralized space and drive meaningful innovation. Through this measure, we look forward to growing together with every user and meeting future challenges and opportunities together.
