🗺️The Trifecta Tourney in short:
The Social Mining Trifecta Tourney is an elite research challenge designed to showcase the analytical prowess of the DAOVERSE community. By launching simultaneous tasks for three industry titans—Fireblocks, Transak, and Ankr—this tournament invites Social Miners to explore the vital infrastructure powering the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program. Participants are tasked with decoding how these powerhouses bridge the gap between traditional finance and Web3, with a prestigious "Trifecta Bonus" of 1,000 extra points and +0.01 REP reserved for those elite creators who secure a Top 10 spot in all three categories.

🎮 The Strategy Change:
- No Sequential Gating: All three project tasks are open at the same time.
- The "Dark" Leaderboard: We will not announce the Top 10 for any project until the entire tournament ends. This keeps everyone in the running and prevents Leaderboard Fatigue
- Cumulative Grit: Social Miners can work on their own schedule, perfecting all three entries before the final deadline.
