Proposal: Launch of the HPP Party Knights Program

TL;DR

This proposal seeks community feedback on launching the HPP Party Knights Program, an ambassador initiative designed to drive ecosystem growth through curated, high-quality contributors operating across X (Twitter) and broader Web3 communities.

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 questions for the community:

  1. Should HPP proceed with the Party Knights Program at this time?
  2. Is a 35K HPP monthly pool with 30 participants appropriate for cohort 1, or should the scale be adjusted?

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

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

This discussion seeks community feedback on whether HPP should proceed with the Party Knights Program and how its reward structure and evaluation model should be designed.

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 Competitive Positioning vs. Kaito YAP & Peers

Item Kaito YAP Arbitrum / LayerZero HPP Party Knights
Score Basis Mindshare share Manual / opaque CQ × TA (absolute)
Quality Filter None None / unclear AI CQ scoring + fail threshold
Reward Concentration Top 20% takes ~70% Varies Moderated (max ×2.0 multiplier)
Small Account Protection None None Partial (CQ quality floor)
Evaluation Transparency Algorithm undisclosed Criteria undisclosed CQ rubric published

Note: Kaito, Arbitrum Ambassador, and LayerZero Contributor programs do not publicly disclose per-participant average reward figures. Competitive reward benchmarks will be updated with real data after cohort 1 operations.

4. Program Scope

The Party Knights Program is intended to:

  • Recruit a limited number of early contributors
  • Enable hands-on participation in HPP products
  • Incentivize meaningful ecosystem contributions

Participants are expected to act as operators, not passive ambassadors.

Target Ambassador Profile (cohort 1)

  • X (Twitter) followers: 1,000+
  • Language: English-language Web3 community
  • Account level: Nano influencer ~ KOL

5. Key Parameters

5.1 Program Launch & Cohort Structure

Item Detail
Initial Participant Cap 30 participants
Program Launch Date 2026. 6. 1.
Cohort Duration 3 months
Reward Pool Setting Cycle Monthly

Rationale for 30-participant cap

  • Prevents reward dilution under a fixed pool structure
  • Aligns with Web3 early-stage program benchmarks (20~40 participants)
  • Manageable for PO-level CQ review and abuse monitoring
  • Enables Cohort 2 expansion roadmap based on Cohort 1 data

Rationale for cohort/pool structure

  • 3-month cohort declared publicly → ambassador continuity confidence
  • Monthly pool setting → HPP retains flexibility to adjust to token conditions

5.2 Reward Pool

Item Detail
Monthly Reward Pool 35,000 HPP
Token Amount (per month) To be set based on the token price at the time of pool lock
Pool Structure Fixed per month (locked before the month start)
Distribution Frequency Monthly

Reward pool derivation

  • Target: Bronze-tier participant minimum reward ≥ $40/month
  • Bronze average pool share: ~1.7% (20-participant basis)
  • Bottom-up: $40 ÷ 0.017 ≈ $2,352 → rounded to $2,000~$2,500 range
  • Top-down validation: Platinum target $400 ÷ 20% share ≈ $2,000 → converges

5.3 Scoring System

(1) Score Formula

Tweet Raw Score = CQ × TA Monthly Total = Σ (all tweet raw scores in the month)

Component Definition Range
CQ Content Quality: Accuracy + Readability + Originality 0 ~ 100
TA Tweet Activity: Likes + Retweets + Comments 0 ~ unlimited
Fail Threshold CQ < 40 → rawScore = 0 (quality floor) -–

(2) Active / Inactive Determination

Item Detail
Cutoff Score 1,500 points (monthly total)
Active Condition Monthly Total ≥ 1,500 points
Inactive Condition Monthly Total < 1,500 points → tier = null, reward = 0

Cutoff rationale

  • CQ 50 × TA 15 × 2 tweets = 1,500 points
  • Achievable with 2 minimum-quality tweets per month
  • Purpose: exclude zero-activity participants only
  • Quality competition delegated entirely to the tier system
  • Cohort 2: per-track cutoffs to be introduced based on cohort 1 data

(3) Tier Structure

Tier Ranking Range Reward Multiplier
Platinum Top 10% ×2.0
Gold Top 11~30% ×1.5
Silver Top 31~50% ×1.2
Bronze Bottom 50% ×1.0
Inactive Below cutoff ×0

(4) Reward Formula

Individual Reward = (Weighted Score / Total Weighted Score) × Reward Pool
Weighted Score = Monthly Total × Tier Multiplier

6. Conclusion

The Party Knights Program represents a core growth layer for HPP, bridging product, community, and verifiable participation. Designed with transparency and fairness as foundational principles, the program is positioned to outperform existing Web3 ambassador models.

Community input at this stage is critical to ensure the program is:

  • Fair: reward structures that reflect genuine contribution
  • Scalable: designed to grow with the HPP ecosystem across cohorts
  • Aligned: consistent with HPP’s long-term vision of verifiable participation

We invite all community members to participate in this discussion and help shape the program before it proceeds to a formal vote.

350k HPP will be distriuted for 30 knights?

that means average share is almost 10k?

3

No, it’s just 35k HPP. I’ll vote for this but it must be ammended if the program was not a ‘success’ after a month or so.

4

35K seems reasonable and would like to do it myself if it were a ‘winner takes all’ kinda scheme

5

I have a few questions:

  1. If the cohort doesn’t reach the 30-participant cap, how will the remaining reward pool be handled? Does it roll over, get burned, or return to the treasury?
  2. Since the pool is fixed at 35K HPP, the real USD value will fluctuate with token price. Is there any floor mechanism or adjustment trigger if the price drops significantly during the cohort?

@orangebianco Thank you for raising these. Both are important points that deserve clear answers.

On Q1 — Remaining pool if under 30 participants: If the cohort closes with fewer than 30 participants, the unused portion of the reward pool will be returned to the treasury. We want to ensure that unallocated funds remain under DAO governance rather than being redistributed or carried forward in ways that could complicate future program design. This will be explicitly stated in the Formal Proposal.

On Q2 — Price fluctuation during the cohort: The reward pool is fixed in HPP token terms (35K HPP), not USD. There is currently no floor price mechanism or automatic adjustment trigger. We recognize this introduces real purchasing-power risk for participants if the token price drops significantly during the cohort period.
Rather than building in a complex price-adjustment mechanism at this stage, our current thinking is to keep the first cohort simple and treat this as a known risk factor that participants opt into with full awareness.

We’ll make sure both of these points are addressed explicitly in the upcoming Governance Topic and Formal Proposal.

[Discussion Closed] Party Knights Ambassador Program — General Discussion Summary

Over the past 7 days, we’ve had meaningful participation from the community on the Party Knights Ambassador Program proposal. Below is a summary of the key perspectives shared, and a note on what comes next.

What the Community Said

In favor:

  • The 35K HPP reward pool and 30-participant structure were broadly seen as reasonable starting points for a first cohort.

  • Several members expressed willingness to participate or vote in favor of the proposal.

Concerns raised:

  • Token-denominated rewards introduce purchasing-power risk if HPP price drops significantly during the cohort — noted and acknowledged.

  • Program success should be evaluated after the first cohort, with an amendment mechanism if outcomes fall short.

Questions clarified:

  • If the cohort closes under 30 participants, unused rewards will be returned to the treasury.

  • The reward pool is fixed in HPP terms. No USD floor or price-adjustment trigger is planned for this cohort.

Moving to Governance Topic

Based on this discussion, we will be opening the Governance Topic within 24 hours. The post will incorporate the feedback gathered here and present the full program structure for formal community review.
