Phaver Phairdrop - $SOCIAL Tokens 🤑

Phaver announced the launch of Season 1 criteria for the much-anticipated Phavercoin $SOCIAL. Starting now, participants can earn up to a 1:1 Points to Tokens ratio.

Why It Matters:

On May 8th, Phaver launched Level 5 at 3000 Cred, setting the stage for the 1:1 phairdrop. To qualify, users need Level 5, a Creator badge, or a Phaver-Up NFT.

Phaver has also revamped the posting rewards system—now combining Phaves from all your daily posts into one significant reward, increasing the number of daily winners. Remember, $SOCIAL tokens are not yet available for purchase or trade.

Level Benefits Breakdown:

Level 5: For each 1000 Phaver Points, you get 1000 $SOCIAL
Level 4: For each 1000 Phaver Points, you get 600 $SOCIAL
Level 3: For each 1000 Phaver Points, you get 400 $SOCIAL
Level 2: For each 1000 Phaver Points, you get 200 $SOCIAL
Level 1 users are not eligible.

All drops for Season 1 are capped at a maximum of 100,000 $SOCIAL per user and are fully unlocked upon listing.

How to Earn Points and Level Up?

Onboarding: Easy points just for completing setup tasks.
Inviting Friends: Earn points for every friend who signs up and reaches Level 2 using your invite code.
Active Engagement: Keep giving Phaves to the posts you love; choosing popular posts early can maximize your points.
Premium and Super Posting: Spend points to make your posts eligible for the daily reward pool, with Super Posts gaining additional visibility.

Snapshot Timing:

While the exact date for the Season 1 snapshot hasn't been revealed to prevent gaming the system, there's still time to qualify. Connecting a Phaver-Up NFT guarantees a Level 5 redemption ratio, instantly boosting your eligibility.

In Conclusion:

With innovative ways to earn and a robust system to reward engagement, Phaver is setting a new standard in the creator economy. Hats off to the Phaver team for the drop!

Beer Taste - Karlovačko from Croatia 🍻

Craving a taste of Croatia? Look no further than Karlovačko, the country's most popular lager! This golden-yellow brew, boasting a refreshing bitterness and 5.4% ABV, is a go-to for many Croatians and Bosnians alike.

Awarded and Adored

Karlovačko isn't just a crowd-pleaser; it's an award-winner too! In 2005, it snagged a gold medal at the Brewing Industry International Awards in the category of beers with 4.5-5.5% alcohol. This recognition speaks to the beer's quality and its ability to deliver a satisfying drinking experience.

A Part of Heineken's Heritage

Since 2003, Karlovačko has been a proud member of the Heineken International family. However, the beer maintains its Croatian roots. In fact, the Croatian branch of Heineken, has taken a strong commitment to using Croatian barley in Karlovačko production. This initiative, launched in 2014, ensures the beer's authenticity and supports local Croatian agriculture.

Beyond the Classic

While the original Karlovačko remains a favorite, Heineken Hrvatska offers a variety of choices for different tastes. Their portfolio includes alcohol-free options, radlers with citrus flavors, and even a special unpasteurized "Retro" Karlovačko.

So, next time you're looking for a refreshing lager with a taste of Croatia, grab a Karlovačko!

Cheers!

And that's it for this week 🎉

Thanks for reading.
