Action
Participation guide
Research Refresh: Participation Notes (2026-06-16)
- Check the official website and X account before taking any action.
- For staking, deposits, lending, or liquidity actions, size positions conservatively and track wallet risk.
- Complete official quests or points campaigns and keep activity consistent rather than one-off.
- Avoid unofficial claim links, copied forms, and DMs; use only official domains/social links.
Editorial guidance
How to improve eligibility
Research Refresh: Maximization Notes (2026-06-16)
- Prioritize official, repeatable activities that are visible on-chain or in the project dashboard.
- Keep one consistent wallet history for this ecosystem unless the project explicitly supports account linking.
- Document completed quests, points, campaign IDs, and wallet addresses for later checker/claim windows.
- Do not chase high-cost volume unless the project has a clear, credible incentive program.

Scoring Recalibration (2026-06-16)
- Score recalibrated with stricter evidence gates: direct airdrop/points/claim evidence, actionable path, current official signals, expected upside, effort/cost, and stale-evidence penalties.
- Generic project strength, funding, or broad activity no longer qualifies for S/A without direct opportunity evidence.
Editorial judgment
Scoring notes
Level USD sunsetting; team joining another DeFi protocol. Reputable VCs (Polychain, Dragonfly). LVLUSD is the stablecoin itself, no separate gov token. Initial points program completed before sunset. Breakdown: 4+6+2+3+4+3+0+0+0+0-5=17 floored to 8 (project dead, no future opportunity). Archive: shutting down.
