Drift: Fund The Drift Superteam Earn Creator Competition

Summary

Proposal to fund a creator competition with $8,250 in DRIFT tokens distributed through Superteam Earn to promote B.E.T (Solana's first capital efficient prediction market built on Drift). The competition included three bounty tracks (video, Twitter thread, trade ideas) plus a grand prize, each with tiered rewards. The proposal failed to pass.

Significance

Represents an early futarchy-governed marketing/grants decision where a protocol attempted to use conditional markets to approve community engagement spending. The failure suggests either insufficient market participation, unfavorable price impact expectations, or community skepticism about the ROI of creator bounties for prediction market adoption.
