#46 - Yaprun, Infinex Connect and new Airdrops

Yaprun is under way. We announced Infinex Connect at TOKEN2049 Dubai. Ethena and Renzo airdrops are ready to claim. The exclusive Patrons-only Telegram channel is live.

Yaprun: Season 1 is live

Last week, we kicked off Yaprun, our brand-new attention and referrals scheme built in collaboration with Kaito. Yaprun is designed to reward high-quality content and genuine platform usage, powered by a custom attribution engine that blends Kaito’s mindshare data with Infinex’s user scoring system.

Here’s what happened in Season Zero:

• Ran in stealth from 12 Feb – 14 May 2025, without fanfare or leaderboard
• Announced retrospective rewards for the top 500 yappers in Season Zero
• Now distributing 10% (~$600k) of the total Yaprun rewards pool
• Top 5 Yaprunners earned between $10–40K worth of µPatrons

Season 1 is now live, with the next 15% of the reward pool (~$900k) ready to be earned. Learn more about Yaprun and get involved.

Infinex Connect announced at TOKEN2049 Dubai

We announced Infinex Connect at TOKEN2049 in Dubai—a new way to connect your Infinex account and cross-chain portfolio to third-party dapps.

With features like Swidge already built in, and connected activity flowing back into your Infinex account, you’ll be able to track:

• Your positions and assets in real time
• Rewards and earnings across different protocols
• All your activity without flipping between different apps

Connect is launching with partner ecosystems and dapps including MegaETH, Fogo, Aave, Ethena, and more.

Check out the announcement video, or watch Kain’s TOKEN2049 keynote.

New Airdrops: Ethena & Renzo

Ethena Season 3 rewards are live. If you participated through Infinex, head to the Airdrops tab in your Infinex account to claim your rewards.

We made a few updates to how rewards were distributed:

• Rewards of $10 or more were sent as sENA on Mainnet
• Rewards under $10 were sent as USDe on Arbitrum

Renzo Season 4 rewards are also live. Check your Infinex account to see if you’re eligible for $REZ. For more info, read Renzo’s announcement on X.

Patron-Only Telegram Live

We launched an exclusive Telegram channel for verified Patron holders. If you haven’t joined yet, head to Settings → Social in your Infinex account to connect your Telegram and follow the links.

As a reminder, Patron holders get early access to features, can share feedback, and connect directly with the core team. They also enjoy no fees on most Infinex transactions, referral codes, and a Yaprun score multiplier. Learn more about Infinex Patrons.
