Acala Buzz Episode 31: Recap and Highlights

Acala Buzz Episode 31 brought major updates across the ecosystem, with new contest winners, upcoming feature launches, and important governance proposals.

Meme & Dapp Contest Month 3 Winners

Congratulations to the top five projects:

• 🥇 Realverse — Building an RWA platform, now in testnet.
• 🥈 DamnDAO — A DeFi protocol focused on farming, arbitrage, and airdrop strategies.
• 🥉 Boomerang — A token launch platform aiming to bring BoomACA, a liquid-staked ACA token.
• 🎟 PolkaLottery — Offering DOT prizes and community incentives with low-cost lottery tickets.
• 🎰 EasyAcala — Gamified daily interactions like GM farming and roulette, integrated with Discord and perfect for ambassador onboarding.

The contest will now pause temporarily to allow builders more time to develop and to refresh the reward system.

Voter Airdrop & Anti-bot Measures

A voter airdrop was completed (~200 ACA per voter). The team actively removed botted wallets to ensure fairness after noticing small-scale vote manipulation attempts.

BoomACA Proposal by Boomerang

A forum proposal seeks 2M ACA from the treasury:

• 500K ACA for early user incentives
• 500K ACA for a smart contract audit
• 1M ACA loan to bootstrap ACA-BoomACA liquidity (to be repaid with ~200K ACA in yield)

BoomACA would provide instant liquidity for staked ACA, potentially improving ACA usability across the ecosystem.

Other Ecosystem Updates

• Vota: Continuing development of a prediction/price betting platform
• ACA Staking: Still offering strong rewards, with BoomACA expected to enhance liquidity
• PolkaWorld Interview: Previous week’s content featured Acala on PolkaWorld’s stream

As Acala continues evolving, tools like EasyAcala and initiatives like BoomACA aim to boost user engagement, liquidity, and overall protocol utility. Builders, voters, and ambassadors all play a key role in shaping the future.
