Picks Opens Waitlist With Top 100 Referrers Gaining VIP Access
Picks, a new on-chain sports prediction platform, has entered its pre-launch phase by opening a waitlist for its upcoming pre-season. The platform is designed as a skill-based game where users predict real-life athlete performances to compete on leaderboards for prizes. By settling predictions and results on-chain, Picks aims to provide a verifiable and permissionless foundation for its competitions.
Participation in the pre-season waitlist is free and structured around a referral system. To join, users must connect their X profile, select a virtual stadium for the 2026 World Cup to establish a base position, and then claim a personalized referral link. A user's position on the waitlist improves with each new member who signs up using their link, creating a competitive environment for early access.
Airdrop Remains Unconfirmed Despite Reward Structure
Despite the waitlist campaign's design, the Picks team has not officially confirmed plans for a proprietary token or a future airdrop. The speculation among market participants stems from the referral-based ranking system, a popular strategy for web3 projects to bootstrap a community and reward early adopters ahead of a Token Generation Event (TGE).
The primary incentive for the campaign is the tiered reward system. The top 100 users on the waitlist will be awarded a "VIP wristband," which provides early access to the platform, exclusive benefits, and priority status on launch day. While there is no guarantee of a retroactive token distribution, this model strongly signals a potential reward for early community builders and participants.
