What to make

A 1 to 3 minute video about Gloam.

An explainer, a tutorial, a short film, an animation you made yourself, a skit or a meme. No AI-generated videos. Any style is welcome, and a carefully made video gets the attention it deserves. It has to show Gloam clearly, the app or the idea, and be posted on X.

FAQ

Questions.

Do I need to use the app?

It helps. Videos that show a real private payment or cash out on mainnet score higher. Testnet footage is not accepted.

How long should my video be?

Between 1 and 3 minutes.

Can I post it on YouTube instead?

Entries come from X only. Upload the video to your post on X; a link to YouTube or another site doesn’t count.

Can I use AI?

No AI-generated videos. Footage, avatars, voices and animation made by an AI generator are not accepted, and entries that use them are removed. Normal editing tools are fine.

Are animation and motion graphics allowed?

Yes, if you made them yourself, in tools like After Effects, Blender, Figma or Rive. Animation made by an AI generator is not.

Where can I ask questions?

In the Creators topic of our Telegram community, t.me/gloamhq/28002. Share drafts, ask questions and meet other creators there.

Can I enter more than once?

One entry per X account. To change it, send the form again with the same X handle. The latest one counts.

How do I get paid?

With a private Gloam claim link, sent by DM from @gloamtrade.

Which language?

Any language. Add English subtitles if it isn’t in English.

Anything else? Ask @gloamtrade on X or email hello@gloam.trade.
