Coingecko Candies For Axie NFT

For those like me who have been collecting sweet treats(Candy) from [Coingecko](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-coingecko), you can now use some of it for a chance to win an Axie NFT. #### How? If you have done it before, you surely know the process, but for the first-timers, here it is: **Step 1:** Go to the [rewards page](https://www.coingecko.com/account/rewards) and click on the Axie NFT Raffle or click [this link](https://www.coingecko.com/account/rewards/axieinfinity-raffle) and it will bring you there. You need to be logged on to be able to do this. **Step 2:** Click on **"Redeem Now"** and complete the captcha. 300 will be deducted from your Candy balance. After which, you will be shown your [Active Rewards](https://coingecko.com/account/my-rewards) page.

**Step 3:** Click on **"View"** to open the instructions on how to use it. Do note that it is valid only until the 31st of January (EST) so you may need to act fast if you want to be a part of the raffle.

Step 3: Then tap or click on "Use Now" to open your coupon code. Tap the "Use Now" again on the pop-up and you will be redirected to SweepWidget where you can read the mechanics of the raffle and at the lower part of the page, you will be asked to fill in some information (Name, Email, and the voucher code).

After filling in your information, tap (click) on "Enter Giveaway" and the bonus questions will be enabled for you. Answering them will give you two additional entries. Here are the questions (not sure if it's all the same to all participants):

Q1: Name 2 flagship web3 games built on the Ronin chain.

From four options (a. War Thunder and Bowled; b. Apeiron and Lethal Company; c. Palworld and Pixels; d. Axie Infinity and Pixels), my answer to this was (d) Axie Infinity and Pixels. I read from a quick search that Pixels migrated to the Ronin chain from Polygon.

Q2: What consensus Algorithm is Ronin currently on?

The options given were (a) DPoS, (b) PoS, (c) PoW and (d) PoA. A quick research made me learn that the Ronin chain is currently using the Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus algorithm that relies on a set of trusted validators to produce and validate blocks, and these validators are pre-selected by the network developers or stakeholders.¹

So of course, my answer was (d) PoA.
