StarSwap is launching a meme championship on Astar Network, offering tokens and NFTs to creators who can rally the most engagement during a turbulent market stretch.
Markets are rough right now. Volatility has become the norm, and crypto communities are feeling the strain as prices swing wildly from one day to the next. Rather than sitting idle, StarSwap, the popular decentralized exchange built on Astar Network, has decided to inject some levity into the situation. They are hosting a meme championship designed to bring the community together and give people something to enjoy while they navigate these choppy waters.
This is not your typical one-off social media giveaway with a random draw. StarSwap has structured this as a proper two-round competition. The first round serves as an elimination stage where participants submit their best memes and compete for community attention. Twenty winners from that initial round will be selected to move forward. Those twenty then face off in a final round where the real prizes are on the line.
The prize pool reflects the ecosystem StarSwap operates within. The first-place winner takes home 2,000 $ASTR tokens. Second place receives one StarCards NFT, and there are five third-place prizes of one Samui NFT each. For anyone already active in the Astar community, these rewards carry both collectible and practical value.
Star Swap MEME Contest Dates:
The timeline is tight and keeps the momentum going. The first round kicks off at 3PM UTC on Monday, June 13th and closes at 3PM UTC on Thursday. Results for that round are announced at 4PM UTC the same day. The final round begins immediately after at 4PM UTC Thursday and runs until 4PM UTC Saturday, with winners revealed at 5PM UTC Saturday. The whole championship wraps in under a week, which means participants need to move fast once the clock starts.
How to participate?
Entry requirements are straightforward but mandatory. You need to follow StarSwap on Twitter and join their Discord server. From there, the task is simple: create a meme themed around StarSwap or Astar Network and post it on Twitter with the hashtag #StarSwapMeme. Participants can submit as many memes as they want, which adds a strategic layer since more submissions mean more chances to land a high-engagement post.
After posting on Twitter, the final step is sharing the tweet link in the #memes-fan-art channel on the StarSwap Discord. That ensures the entry is properly tracked and counted alongside the Twitter engagement metrics.
Winning is not about subjective quality alone. StarSwap has made engagement the primary scoring metric. That means the total number of likes, shares, replies on Twitter, and reactions on Discord all factor into the final tally. If a participant submits multiple memes, only their highest-performing entry counts toward their score. This structure rewards creativity that genuinely resonates with the community rather than sheer volume of submissions.
Tips: Your meme can be about StarSwap or Astar in general, but you will probably want to flatter the StarSwap community because they will account for a lot of the votes. Votes on Twitter AND Discord count for winning so you will want to increase your reach with hashtags, tagging friends etc. So make sure to invite your friends now so they can help you win after the elimination round!
*Participants must be following @StarSwap on Twitter and be a member in our Discord to be eligible.
