[Governance Topic] Launch of the HPP Party Knights Ambassador Program

Governance Topic
1

TL;DR

This proposal presents the finalized structure of the HPP Party Knights Program for community review, incorporating feedback from the General Discussion (Apr 30 – May 7).

What we’re proposing:

  • 30-participant cap, 3-month cohort, monthly reward pool of 35K HPP

  • Scoring formula: CQ (Content Quality) × TA (Tweet Activity), with quality floor (CQ < 40 = 0)

  • 4-tier reward structure (Platinum ×2.0 / Gold ×1.5 / Silver ×1.2 / Bronze ×1.0) + Inactive cutoff at 1,500 monthly points

  • Target: nano-to-micro influencers (1K+ followers) in English-language Web3 communities

Key question for the community:

Should HPP proceed with the Party Knights Program as structured below?

Community input at this stage will directly shape the Formal Proposal before it moves to a formal vote.

Clarifications from General Discussion

This section reflects questions and decisions confirmed during the General Discussion phase.

On reward pool size: The total monthly reward pool is fixed at 35K HPP, distributed across up to 30 Knight participants.

On undersubscription: If the cohort closes with fewer than 30 participants, the unused portion of the reward pool will be returned to the treasury. Unallocated funds will remain under DAO governance and will not be redistributed among active participants or carried forward.

On reward denomination: The reward pool is fixed in HPP token terms. There is no USD floor price mechanism or automatic price-adjustment trigger in place for Cohort 1. Participants opt into this program with full awareness of token price variability.

On post-cohort review: A structured community review will be conducted at the end of Cohort 1 to evaluate program outcomes. If the program does not meet defined success criteria, amendments may be proposed via governance.

1. Overview

The HPP Party Knights Program is a structured ambassador initiative designed to accelerate early ecosystem growth by attracting high-quality contributors. The program establishes a curated group of operators who actively engage in:

  • Product storytelling

  • Community activation, focused on X (Twitter) social virality

  • Ecosystem expansion

2. Background & Rationale

HPP is entering a critical phase of ecosystem expansion with the upcoming launch of multiple core products, including:

  • HPP Hub

  • HPP Agora

  • HPP Staking

To ensure successful adoption, HPP requires:

  • Real user participation (not passive holders)

  • Clear product narratives across Web3 communities

  • Early contributors who can translate product experience into engagement

The Party Knights Program addresses these needs by creating a human-driven growth layer aligned with HPP’s vision of verifiable participation.

3. Market Context

3.1 Industry Benchmark: Ambassador Reward Levels

Based on Web3 ambassador program benchmarks for early-stage projects

Account Tier Follower Range Monthly Reward (USD equiv.)
Nano Influencer 1K ~ 5K $50 ~ $150
Micro Influencer 5K ~ 30K $150 ~ $400
KOL 30K+ $400 ~ $2,000+

HPP Cohort 1 realistic range: $50–$300 per participant per month (based on nano-to-micro profile targeting).

3.2 Positioning

The proposed 35K HPP monthly pool positions HPP competitively for an early-stage program while remaining fiscally conservative for a first cohort.

4. Program Structure

4.1 Participation

Parameter Value
Cohort size Up to 30 participants
Cohort duration 3 months
Monthly reward pool 35K HPP
Target community English-language Web3

4.2 Scoring Formula

Rewards are distributed based on a two-factor scoring model:

Monthly Score = CQ (Content Quality) × TA (Tweet Activity)

  • CQ (Content Quality): Evaluated monthly by HPP core team based on originality, relevance, and engagement quality. Scored 0–100.

  • TA (Tweet Activity): Total number of qualifying posts submitted during the month.

  • Quality floor: If CQ < 40, monthly score = 0 (no reward issued regardless of activity volume).

4.3 Reward Tiers

Tier Monthly Score Threshold Reward Multiplier
:trophy: Platinum Top 10% ×2.0
:1st_place_medal: Gold Top 25% ×1.5
:2nd_place_medal: Silver Top 50% ×1.2
:3rd_place_medal: Bronze Remaining active ×1.0
-– Inactive < 1,500 points No reward

4.4 Additional Benefits

Active Knights may receive access to HPP ecosystem-exclusive benefits including:

  • Booost NFT access

  • HPP Product Credit — early allocation and access rights

  • Staking reward extra multiplier

  • Performance bonus — non-periodic, merit-based

6. Open Questions for the Community

The following points remain open for community input before the Formal Proposal is drafted:

  1. Is the 35K HPP monthly pool with a 30-participant cap the right scale for Cohort 1?

  2. Are there additional success criteria the community would like to see defined for the post-cohort review?

  3. Any other structural concerns before this moves to a formal vote?

Please share your feedback in this thread. The Formal Proposal will be published on May 13.
