I recently tried bridging USDC from Solana to Fogo through Wormhole’s Portal Earn program and was surprised to see 10 XP deposited for every dollar. Normally you get just one or two XP when you transfer stablecoins - here the boost is five to ten times higher. It made the bridge feel like a mini farming opportunity rather than a chore.
The usual pain point with new chains is attracting liquidity. Most projects offer airdrops or high yields, but those incentives don’t kick in until you’ve already moved assets. Fogo Blaze flips that script by rewarding the act of bridging itself. Any USDC you send earns 10 XP, and even transfers via the Fogo Sessions wallet count. The points tally updates nightly, so it feels like instant gratification.
This is a clever way to jump‑start liquidity: by paying users up front, Fogo saw a surge of net inflows in the first couple of weeks as people raced to rack up XP. But the effect was short‑lived. Once the initial rush faded and APYs normalized, capital began flowing back to larger chains. Most wallets that bridged USDC did little more than claim the bonus and leave.
Fogo Blaze shows how powerful a well‑designed bridge incentive can be in the short term. It also highlights the risk: without sticky applications and deeper use cases, boosted XP on its own won’t keep liquidity or users around.
