Proof of Work

Proof-of-work (PoW) is the foundation of membership. It reflects shipped outcomes and verified participation.

Contribution types

  • Bounties: scoped tasks with acceptance criteria and reviews.
  • Contracts: larger initiatives with milestones and deliverables.
  • Community calls: attendance, notes, demos, and Q&A.
  • Physical events: presence, talks, workshops, or organizing support.
  • Community building: documentation, mentorship, support, outreach.

Evidence

  • Links to tweets, contents, PRs, issues, repos, demos, specs, or requirements.
  • Attendance verification (forms, onchain check-ins, or event platforms).
  • Milestone reviews and acceptance confirmations.

Evaluation

  • Quality over quantity, with difficulty and impact considered.
  • Individual and team contributions are recognized.
  • Criteria and weights may evolve as programs mature.
