Ribbit, Talizens! What a LEGENDARY leap it's been!

. When we say "no frogs left behind," we mean it, and the numbers prove that our Lily Pad Town has become a launching pad to the stars!

From May 1st to July 31st, 2025, we didn't just grow, we exploded. And now, as we prepare for Season 3, "The Ascent" this September, we're about to witness something that will make this incredible journey look like just the warm-up.

The Numbers That Made Us Hop Higher

The Great Leap Forward

Hold onto your lily pads, because these numbers are absolutely bonkers:

• +41,000 new Talizens joined our community (182k → 223k members!)
• 22.5% growth in just 3 months
• The May Miracle: 39,000 members added in just 7 days (May 8-15)
• Peak single day: 5,500 new frogs hopped in on May 11th

Our explosive growth wasn't just about numbers; it was about building something extraordinary. The mid-May campaign proved that when Talizens unite, we don't just make waves, we create tsunamis!

With invite-driven growth accounting for 60-70% of our expansion, it's clear that our community's passion is our greatest marketing tool.

Community Champions: Celebrating Our MVPs 🏆

From Tadpoles to Team Leaders

This is where we get emotional, Talizens, because Season 2 proved that we practice what we preach.

Aishie; and Tbread started their journey as community moderators, bringing incredible energy and dedication to our community. Their passion didn't go unnoticed. Today, they're full-time team members, living proof that in the Talus ecosystem, your contributions don't just get recognized, they get rewarded with life-changing opportunities.

This isn't just their success story; it's a testament to what happens when you "leap first, think later" and commit to the community. From moderators to core team members, Aishie and Tbread show every Talizen that your biggest leap might be just one contribution away!

But they're not alone; we've promoted several other outstanding contributors to moderator positions, including Vaibhav, who joined us from the community. "Hesitation is for tadpoles", and these legends didn't hesitate to grab their opportunities!

The Tally's Creative Working Group Heroes

Season 2 saw the birth of something special, our Tallys Creative Working Group. This powerhouse team creates content magic on demand, showcasing our commitment to creativity and community-driven innovation. These talented Talizens are the masterminds behind the engaging content that keeps Tallys' NFTs buzzing with energy and excitement.

Shoutout to Grapes, Hssn, Prateek, and Raj for making Talus greater than it is with their creativity.

Their work isn't just content creation, it's culture creation. Every meme, every piece of art, every creative project helps define what it means to be a Talizen. They're the architects of our "swamp-tested, chain-approved" culture!

Don’t miss a single drop of Tallys magic, follow us on Instagram and Twitter. If you’re not following, you’re basically choosing the FOMO speedrun mode of life.

What Made Season 2 LEGENDARY

Epic Campaigns That Made the Swamp Tap Out

Season 2 wasn't just about growth; it was about evolution. We launched targeted campaigns for our tally holders, particularly those associated with GAIB and Zo Trading Competition, creating exclusive experiences for our most dedicated community members.

Our Hub Badge Revolution transformed the way Talizens engage, introducing enhanced badges with multipliers that amplify your shard earnings. Because when you're building the future, your achievements should compound!

Workshop Mania took over the season with skill-building sessions covering art, video creation, lore development, and more. We even hosted a special guest workshop on AI content creation, because "from the swamp to the stars" means embracing cutting-edge technology!

Regional Community Takeover

But here's what really blew our minds: our community members stepped up globally, hosting regional workshops that brought Talus culture to every corner of the world. When we say "Talus is building the future," we mean it's happening everywhere, by everyone, for everyone!

Season 2 saw our team become truly international, connecting with the global crypto community at the industry's most important events:

The Tally Philosophy That Drives Us Forward

Make Friends, Grow, Succeed

As we prepare for our biggest leap yet, let's remember the core philosophy that got us here:

Our Unshakeable Mantras

• "Be Early, Take the Leap" – The boldest frogs always make it to the top
• "Degen Frogs Never Sleep" – The grind never stops, and neither do we
• "From the Swamp to the Stars" – We're not just building projects, we're building the future
• "No Frogs Left Behind" – Community-driven success means we all rise together

These aren't just words, they're the DNA of everything we do. Every campaign, every reward, every opportunity is designed with these principles at heart.

"Leap first, degen later" isn't just a saying, it's how we've grown from 182k to 223k+ incredible community members who embody the spirit of innovation, collaboration, and unstoppable growth.

The Rally Cry: Our Biggest Leap is Coming!

Talizens, Season 1 & 2 were just the beginning!

We've proven that when this community comes together, we don't just grow, we explode. We've shown that "degen frogs take no L's" and that our Lily Pad Town is a launching pad for something extraordinary.

But here's the truth that should get every single Talizen's heart racing: everything we've accomplished so far is just the warm-up. Season 3 "The Ascent" isn't just our next chapter, it's our transformation into something greater.

We all Tally today, and tomorrow, we all soar together!
