Agents that deploy to Mode will also be eligible to receive ongoing incentives.
2. Focus on Education Content for Growth
This move to bring in Streamers and Agents will help align the ecosystem around educational content designed to onboard users to Mode’s ecosystem of innovative AI powered applications.
3. AI Driven Onchain Experiences
Mode is building at the cutting edge of AI and all new initiatives will focus on enhancing AI driven onchain experiences.
Introduction
Mode’s governance experiment is about to become a lot more fun and engaging, with the introduction of Streamers and Agents. Building on Season 4 which saw experiments in bribe markets, Season 5 will focus on incentivising education and engagement with AI apps and agents building across the ecosystem.
What's new in Season 5?
1. Streamers and Agents added to veMODE
Protocols can now rely on Hidden Hand’s established bribe infrastructure, removing confusion around eligibility or claim processes. This translates to frictionless user experiences.
2. Transparency
All eligible participants for guages must provide transparency in how they distribute OP incentives in order to remain gauge-eligible, helping the community stay informed and confident about the deployment of rewards.
3. Tokenomics and Sustainability
Season 5 will use OP as the primary incentive mechanism. Apps, Agents and Streamers that secure votes get a slice of OP each epoch. This model not only rewards active participants but also ensures the broader Mode ecosystem remains vibrant.
4. Agentic Staking and Voting
Thanks to Mode’s AI Terminal, MODE holders can now use AI to stake their Mode to veMODE.
As the AI Terminal comes out of Beta expect to see the barriers for entry to be reduced significantly for all users.
