Leviathan News, a crypto and DeFi-focused media outlet, is running a time-limited on-chain auction for its weekly SQUID Pass, a tokenized media placement that grants the winner promotional visibility across the platform’s main channels. The pass typically includes pinned posts on Leviathan’s Telegram and X accounts and shoutouts on Leviathan’s livestreams on YouTube and X for a set period (usually one week), effectively selling a bundled sponsorship slot as an NFT-like asset. Current social posts from Leviathan highlight that this week’s auction is shorter than usual, with less than a couple of hours remaining for bids, and is being promoted as part of their ongoing SQUID Pass auction series. SQUID Pass sits within Leviathan News’s broader experiment of pairing media distribution with crypto-native mechanics and its Leviathan Points (SQUID) ecosystem. Earlier SQUID Pass auctions, including the inaugural 2024 event, were run as live NFT auctions where community members competitively bid using crypto, with the winning bidder receiving both the NFT and the associated media promotion package. Leviathan has also built adjacent SQUID-branded initiatives such as the SQUID Digest, an AI-powered daily digest and signal generator that pulls from Leviathan’s news feed, reinforcing the project’s focus on integrating on-chain incentives, media reach, and automation. For marketers, builders, or token projects in the crypto space, these auctions offer a way to buy targeted visibility in front of Leviathan’s audience, while for Leviathan they create a recurring, transparent market for advertising inventory that is native to Web3 tooling.
