Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! If you’ve been scrolling through X lately, you might have noticed a buzz about "Yapping" and whether the points you earn from Virtuals Protocol and Vader AI are still worth the effort. As a former editor-in-chief of CoinDesk now diving into the wild world of meme tokens at Meme Insider, I’m here to break it down for you with the latest scoop from a thread by Evans Web3 Dev.

What’s All This Yapping About?

Yapping isn’t just random chatter—it’s a way to earn points in the crypto space by engaging with platforms like Virtuals and Vader. These points can later be converted into rewards, often tied to meme tokens or other digital assets. But with some folks calling these points "worthless," Evans stepped up to share some hard numbers to help you decide if the grind is still worth it.

In a post dated July 5, 2025, Evans dropped a screenshot showing his ranking and points tally. Sitting at #50 on Vader AI, he racked up 14.5k points, while his #80 spot on Virtuals netted him 8.3k points. That’s a total of 22.8k points daily, which, with a Virgen Point price of about $0.002, translates to roughly $45 a day. Not bad for some strategic yapping, right?

Digging Into the Numbers

The images Evans shared give us a peek into the leaderboard and his progress. Check out the first screenshot:

You can see his rank at #50 with a daily weight of 0.4706%, alongside other top yappers like @0xCroc. The second image dives deeper into the daily points distribution, showing how points are spread across the top 80 players. It’s clear that staying in the top ranks is key to maximizing your earnings.

Is It Worth Your Time?

So, is $45 a day enough to keep you yapping? It depends on your goals. For some, this is a solid side hustle in the Web3 world, especially if you’re already active in these communities. Evans also hints at the importance of where you pledge your points—mentioning tokens like $WACH and $LEGEND—suggesting that smart allocation can boost your returns.

But there’s a catch. As one user, @BapX1000, pointed out, the more people yapping, the more the points’ value might dilute for those outside the top 100. It’s a competitive game, and staying ahead requires consistency and strategy.

The Bigger Picture

This trend ties into the broader shift in crypto from mining or yield farming to what’s called "InfoFi" (short for Information Finance). It’s all about earning through attention and engagement, a hot topic in 2025’s meme token scene. Platforms like Virtuals and Vader are riding this wave, turning social activity into tangible rewards.

If you’re into blockchain gaming or looking to stack some meme tokens, Yapping might be your ticket. Just keep an eye on the leaderboard and adjust your strategy as the community grows. As Evans puts it, “I’m just showing the scoreboard”—it’s up to you to play the game!

Final Thoughts

The debate around Yapping’s value is far from over, but with $45 a day up for grabs for top players, it’s worth a shot if you’ve got the time.
