what's jokerace?
JokeRace is a web3 platform that gamifies community contests and governance through "conviction markets disguised as games." The platform uses a pay-to-vote mechanism starting at 0.000003 ETH (increasing exponentially) to prevent bots, combined with vote-to-earn incentives for community alignment. It serves as a discovery engine for apps, builders, and ideas while making governance engaging. The project recently experienced and quickly resolved a security incident involving compromised dependencies on September 8, 2025. JokeRace is actively partnering with organizations like AtriumAcademy for contests and has upcoming integrations with ShapeShift. The platform operates in the web3 governance and community engagement space.
JokeRace rebrands tomorrow, ending its current name.
