Taking a look at the total number of attestations to the Optimism contract, we can see that the Flipside User scoring Contract - is the most used attestation contract, accounting for roughly 41% of all attestations to date.

Lets take a look at how these attestations have rolled in over time!

After the initial push, we see flipside's attestations start to dwindle....

BUT WAIT

They are back with a vengengance, along with Clique's twitter/social attestations!

Clique's social attestations took off on January 6th, which coincides with the date that Optimism gave them a shoutout during their weekly recap! https://twitter.com/optimismFND/status/1611436116925681688

Despite the initial surge from Clique, managed to overcome Clique's attestations.

Are Flipside and Clique on opposite sides of twitter or do they overlap? Did users decide to do both?

If we compare these two donuts we see how users interacted with both the attestation contracts. (Comparing unique addresses)

<--- if we look overall, we can see its almost an even quarter between flipside, clique, and half of users have done both!

If we change our time frame to only look at ---> Jan 6th and onwards, we start to see that slightly more attestations are from Clique that flipside, but the majority (52%) overlap between both the Flipside and Clique attestations!

However despite the Clique influx, of the 25K that attested to both Clique and Flipside, 7.6K of those (30%) attested to Flipside first.

(still Jan6th and onwards timeframe)

Ok, cool... but i see that Flipside has the most duplicate submissions. Whats up with that?

For Flipside's Contract, we can see that there has been some increase in duplicate attestations starting Jan 6th, with the release of Clique's attestation contract... but nothing out of the ordinary

Roughly 15% duplicates --> 23% duplicate attestors.

This number increased fairly dramatically in Feb, right around the time of the airdrop.

But whats going on between attestations?

Find out Below

The table to the right shows the difference in time (in minutes) and the difference in score between attestations. (For Example: the 3rd row or 3rd attestation: there was, on average, 5,443 minutes between the 2nd attestation and the 3rd, for an average increase in .19 in score)

With the median so low and the mean so high, we can tell the distribution is skewed and many people quickly attest multiple times in a row: why? Make sure attestation works? bots? spam?

Lets take a look at the difference between the quick attestors and the patient attestors... lets do the same table but split between people who waited at least .... and those who did not.

If we take the same data and split it into two groups:

• patient attestor (people who waited at least 12 hours (720 minutes) between attestations)
• Quick Attestor (people who attested within the 12 hour mark)

We can see that the table is much more predictive. Quick attestors - with a median time between attests of 1 minute - have almost no increase in score

While, Patient attestors have an increase in score of around .4 on average (or 40% of patient attestors increase their score).

Appears the majority of duplicate attestors attest 1 or two more times within a minute (maybe to just check it works) and then stop. Those who wait at least 12 hours tend to see an increase in score a third of the time.
