Guide to GiveRep: Earn On-Chain REP from Social Activity
Learn how GiveRep lets you earn on-chain reputation (REP) through your X activity. Discover how it works and how to join the airdrop.
Overview
GiveRep is a SocialFi platform built on the Sui Blockchain. It allows users to earn reputation points (REP) on-chain by engaging with content on social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter). These REP points can potentially be used to access blockchain-based rewards, participate in decentralized communities, or verify identity in Web3 systems.
What Is GiveRep?
GiveRep is part of a growing category of SocialFi applications that aim to quantify and tokenize user reputation based on online activity. By linking social engagement to blockchain identifiers, GiveRep attempts to create a system where a person’s contributions on social media can translate into digital reputation.
The platform is built on the Sui Blockchain, which offers fast transactions and low fees—making it a fitting environment for social-driven applications that may require frequent interactions.
How REP Points Work?
Users can earn REP points through various types of engagement on X, including:
- Commenting on Web3- or Sui-related posts that mention @GiveRep
- Posting original blockchain-related content (performance is measured by likes, reposts, and replies)
- Participating in partner campaigns (e.g., with Ika, Astros, DoubleUp, or ATTN) that reward impressions or other forms of interaction
Over time, accumulated REP points can be used to access certain benefits. These may include token airdrops, early access to projects, DAO voting privileges, or digital badges within the Sui ecosystem.
Comparison with Other Models
GiveRep shares similarities with other reputation-based models in Web3, such as Kaito AI, which uses AI to analyze crypto content and assigns users a score based on attention metrics (called Yaps).
However, the two projects take different approaches:
- Kaito AI is centered around information curation and passive attention.
- GiveRep emphasizes individual participation and content creation.
Both fall under the broader trend of decentralized identity and reputation systems, which aim to reduce reliance on centralized gatekeepers by making reputation transparent and portable across applications.
Use Cases and Potential Applications
While the REP system is still in its early stages, possible applications may include:
- Airdrop eligibility is based on genuine participation rather than wallet size
- DAO governance, where REP serves as a reputation-based weight
- Proof-of-human mechanisms, where REP acts as a behavioral signal for verifying real users
- On-chain identity, allowing REP to be tied to wallet addresses or digital profiles
Some users have reported airdrop rewards in the range of a few hundred dollars, depending on their REP score and activity level. However, future utility and reward structures may evolve based on how the ecosystem develops.
How to Participate in GiveRep?
To begin earning REP points, users can follow these general steps:
- Visit the GiveRep website and sign in with an X account.
- Follow @GiveRep to receive campaign updates.
- Comment on posts about Sui or Web3 using the phrase “Comment + @GiveRep.”
- Post original Web3-related content to build engagement.
- Join ongoing loyalty campaigns from partners to gain extra REP.
User progress and rankings can be monitored via the Leaderboard available on the platform’s website.
Final Notes
GiveRep is one of several platforms exploring how social engagement can be integrated with on-chain identity and reputation. While still relatively new, it highlights a growing interest in tools that reward users for their contributions to online discourse, particularly within the blockchain and crypto communities.
As always, users should approach such platforms with a critical eye, understanding both the potential benefits and limitations, and stay informed as the landscape continues to evolve.
