We’re in the final days of Trailblazers Season 2, which concludes on December 16th at 12:00 UTC (noon). Right after, Season 3 begins, and Trailblazers will march on! But first, let’s take a moment to look back and celebrate the top dApps of Season 1!

The Process

In our commitment to fostering innovation, we allocated 2 million TAIKO tokens to reward the top-performing dApps from Season 1. But being part of Taiko goes beyond rewards—it’s about endless opportunities for growth and collaboration!

Throughout the season, we tracked usage to reward active participation. To add excitement, we held monthly competitions, pushing the limits of innovation. These competitions saw dApps compete across three major categories: Gaming, DeFi, and Bridging—showcasing their communities and creativity.

We’re incredibly proud of the dApps that rose to the challenge, driving the Taiko ecosystem forward and setting a high bar for future seasons. Below is a list of the dApps that earned their share of the rewards through outstanding performance in usage and competitions.

🎉 Congratulations to all the winning dApps—your achievements embody the innovation and ambition we aim for at Taiko! 🏆
