6 min readJan 25, 2022

The annual project award organized by KingData is scheduled to take place in the first quarter of 2022. It’s the time to look beyond the wicks and candles, setting our gaze on projects that dominated the crypto space.

About KingData BlueWhale Award

Every award ceremony has some story behind it. In the case of the BlueWhale Award, it’s KingData’s mascot, the Blue Whale that brings a rich story to it.

KingData hopes to meet the Blue Whale’s penchant for spreading valuable intel to anyone in need of such. This award ceremony offers an opportunity to reward the most impressive projects while creating more awareness for KingData’s information-rich website.

Award Selection Process

Every award ceremony has a selection process that curates what project is selected in a particular category. KingData BlueWhale Award has a selection process that puts fairness and popularity at the top of the pecking order.

The selection process requires projects to indicate interest in being part of the award by completing an application form. Afterward, KingData will scrutinize these projects, confirming their suitability for the award based on several factors.

Projects that scale the KingData background check will proceed to the next phase of the selection process. Here, the power of a project’s community is put to the test as everyone votes to decide the winning projects.

For the votes to count towards picking the eventual winner, voting has to be done through the KingData official voting page. This helps guarantee transparency and accountability, which are crucial to ensuring the credibility of the award ceremony.

The winning projects will be selected based on votes pulled after the poll is completed.

Award Categories

The KingData BlueWhale Award will have 6 categories, covering the major projects in the crypto space. Here’s a breakdown of these categories:

NFT Emerging List

Non-fungible tokens have become a hit within and outside the crypto space. Several projects have spearheaded the NFT boom. This category will reward the best NFT projects.

GameFi Emerging List

Gaming might have been around for a while, but ‘play to earn’ is relatively new. This latest introduction in the crypto space has received considerable interest no thanks to a world struggling with a non-ending pandemic. This list consists of the most outstanding GameFi projects devoted to rewarding players for their input.

DAO Emerging List

DAO, one of the buzzwords of 2022, has some interesting projects navigating the treacherous waters of resource management and organization. This category comprises DAO projects that have distinguished themselves in delivering the dividends of a decentralized autonomous organization.

Infrastructure Emerging List

This category consists of projects from different divides in the crypto space. With a focus on wealth creation, the infrastructure list features DeFi projects, Web3 wallets, decentralized storage projects, etc. Projects in this category must have distinguished themselves in services offered to feature on this BlueWhale award list.

Public Chain Newcomer List

More public chains have emerged to provide the enabling environment for decentralized applications to thrive. Most of our favorite dapps rely on public chains to deliver the product/service we have grown used to. This category consists of new public chains that took the spotlight in 2021.

DEX Emerging List

One aspect of DeFi gets its unique category — Decentralized Exchange (DEX). The reasons aren’t farfetched: it’s one of the most popular aspects in the De-Fi niche, so it’s only fair it’s treated as a stand-alone category.

Projects in this category are focused on offering users the opportunity to trade in a truly decentralized environment.

How Would The KingData BlueWhale Award Work?

As hinted earlier, the award will involve a selection process where the KingData team will evaluate the worthiness of a project to be considered. This selection process consists of website checking, audit reports, reviews, and more.

If a project scales through this meticulous selection process, then it’s deemed worthy of being a nominee for the prestigious award in whatever category the project falls under. Of course, this isn’t the finish line. The second phase is a poll where the project that gets the most votes in its category is deemed the winner.

Voting is done by real people through the KingData BlueWhale official poll page. This way, everyone can keep track of how their favorite projects are doing while rallying the community to do more.
