Sky’s the Limit for the Top “Playing For Keeps” Projects
The Keep community went above and beyond over the last few months in creating valuable resources and tools to help anybody stake and earn KEEP.
We can only admire the community’s passion and skill that produced the first-rate projects in our Playing For Keeps program where judges such as Spencer Noon and James Prestwich rewarded the creators with KEEP tokens.
From node support to swaps to DeFi aggregation, the Keep community has focused on valuable technical and statistical aspects of tBTC, ensuring everyone is able to participate and remain up-to-speed on the network’s activity and growth.
The community projects ranged from network activity dashboards to staking tools to impressive integrations (and even a jaw-dropping publicity stunt for good measure).
We are thrilled to highlight here some of the most useful community projects and their creators. (A fuller list is selected at the foot of this article.)
Network and Staking Resources and Tools

You can keep up with all the community activity on the community-curated YouTube channel (thanks to MoMoMo#1715) and at the Keepers Community Hub created by members Ducca#5707, Vitality#2788, F1shko#1340.
“We want to present the idea of the Keep project to the masses. And we are doing this now primarily by providing an exhaustive catalogue of resources and information about the project,” Vitality#2788 said.
It may be a bit of a cliche when companies declare that the community coming together around their project is awesome. Beyond the crucial technical support from the projects, community members also had some fun getting creative.
Watching a video of sky-divers linking up mid-air into a formation of the Keep logo is an all-time thrill. Artem#4718, said he wanted the free-fall footage to inspire the feeling of financial freedom enabled by tBTC. It puts a whole new spin on the idea that, when it comes to community support for Keep, well, the sky’s the limit.
There have been special Playing For Keep shout-outs too for the work from community designers. And Keep members are so into spreading the love, that there are even giveaways. Check out A Community Giveaway to receive a customized Keep finger ring from Vadim777#1721.
