Understanding Mezo's Mats: Rewarding Real Conviction Over Volume



Mats represent your airdrop allocation within the Mezo ecosystem—but there's more depth to it. Technically speaking, Mats function as a "Proof of HODL" score, marking a departure from conventional chain designs that primarily incentivize trading volume (often enabling wash trading activities).

What makes Mezo's approach distinctive? The protocol evaluates two core metrics: the quantity of Bitcoin you hold and the duration of your holdings. Rather than rewarding transaction velocity, the system prioritizes conviction—your demonstrated commitment to maintaining Bitcoin positions over time. This mechanic directly ties your airdrop eligibility to genuine participation and long-term engagement with the network.

The result is a more authentic measure of community stake. Instead of seeing inflated volumes from speculative trading, Mezo captures meaningful economic participation through extended hodling behavior.

Finally, a project makes sense. True believers are the ones who deserve the rewards, not those bots that just pump the volume.

finally someone designing incentive structures that don't reward the wash trading degenerates. the correlation between hodl duration and actual conviction is criminally underpriced in most protocols tbh. mezo's basically running an anti-arbitrage filter—volume farmers get filtered out, real stackers get rewarded. Sharpe ratio on this mechanic probably destroys the traditional airdrop model.

Finally, there's a chain that doesn't play the game of fake trading volume. The longer you hold, the more you earn—this is the approach I like.

Finally, there's a chain that doesn't play the volume manipulation scam. I agree with the idea of holding time in exchange for airdrops.

Finally, there are projects willing to speak out against the false prosperity of trading volume. HODL is the true way.

In the end, time still has to tell, as quantification is too easy to cheat.

Wow, I finally see the chain clearly, it's not purely a speculative nature.

Finally, a project is taking long-term holders seriously, not just focusing on superficial metrics like trading volume.
