Who Can Apply
The Power User application is open to any CoinMarketCap Community member who:
- Has published at least 10 quality posts on the CMC Community feed, such as original market analysis, project deep dives, educational content, or unique industry insights.
- Doesn't already hold a Power User badge. This program is specifically for new Power User onboarding.
Not sure if your content qualifies? Here's what strong posts look like:
📌 The RAVE Reality Check: The $RAVE chart looks like a dream, but the on-chain data looks like a warning. While the token skyrocketed from $0.25 to $20.00 in just seven days, a massive red flag is waving: 90% of the supply is held by just 3 wallets.
Why this works: Data-backed, opinionated, and ends with a question that drives engagement.
📌 The BNB Burn Post: $BNB just burned $1,000,000,000 worth of itself... The more people use BNBChain, the less BNB exists. That's not hype. That's math.
Why this works: Takes a complex tokenomics mechanism and makes it crystal clear. Uses specific numbers, historical context, and a simple "if-then" explanation that anyone can grasp.
📌 Bridge Vulnerability: The hyperbridge incident is a textbook case of a hacker exploiting bridge-layer assumptions rather than protocol security... This reinforces that bridged liquidity ≠ native liquidity, and pricing integrity can break quickly under stress.
Why this works: Takes a specific exploit and extracts a universal industry insight that applies far beyond one incident. No shill, no promo, just a unique lens on infrastructure risk that most people overlook.
What Doesn't Count
The following won't count toward your 10 posts and may get your application rejected:
- Low-Effort Posts: "GM," "LFG," "To the moon," or similar one-liners.
- Ticker/Hashtag Spam: Dropping $BTC or #crypto without any actual commentary.
- Reposts Without Commentary: Sharing someone else's content without adding your own take.
- Plagiarized or AI-Generated Content: Copying from other creators, news sites, or pasting raw AI output without meaningful human input. This will result in immediate disqualification.
How to Apply
Once you have 10 qualifying posts, completing the application takes only about five minutes:
Step 1: Fill out the CMC Power User Badge Application Form and include links to your best qualifying posts on the CMC Community feed.
Step 2: Our team reviews every application manually. You'll hear back within three to seven business days. We're checking that your posts show genuine expertise: strong analysis, real educational value, or meaningful community discussion.
