Reputation-based systems for determining sale allocations represent a meaningful shift in how projects distribute access. MegaETH serves as a prime example of this model working effectively. The approach creates a more merit-driven ecosystem where community standing directly influences participation opportunities.

Fluent is adopting a similar framework for its NFT release. Their structure hinges on three core elements: your reputation tier, the pricing model tied to that tier, and corresponding access levels. This tiered allocation approach incentivizes genuine community participation over casual observers, making it a more sustainable model for managing initial distribution.

Such mechanisms are becoming increasingly important as projects seek ways to reward long-term holders and active participants while maintaining fair market dynamics.
