Active participation is the lifeblood of the 36in36 ecosystem. Our token system is designed to recognize and reward the diverse contributions that propel our projects and platform forward. Every skill, every idea, and every effort has value here.
The Spirit of Contribution
At 36in36, we believe that innovation thrives in a collaborative environment where diverse talents converge. Earning tokens isn't just about completing a checklist; it's about engaging with the community, sharing your unique abilities, and contributing to a larger vision. Whether you're a developer, designer, marketer, strategist, tester, or simply an enthusiastic supporter, your involvement is crucial.
We value both direct project work and the efforts that strengthen our community and platform. Our goal is to create a system where every meaningful contribution is acknowledged and rewarded, fostering a true sense of shared ownership and collective success.
Avenues for Contribution & Token Rewards
There are numerous ways you can contribute to 36in36 and earn tokens. Here are some of the primary avenues:
Completing Project Tasks
Engage directly with our 36 projects by taking on defined tasks. These can range from coding and design to research and content creation. Each task will have an associated token reward based on its complexity and estimated effort.
View Open Tasks »Sharing Expertise & Mentorship
Your knowledge and experience are invaluable. Earn tokens by mentoring other contributors, providing expert advice on projects, leading workshops, or sharing specialized skills that benefit the community.
Contributing Resources
Support projects by providing access to essential resources. This could include software licenses, datasets, tools, equipment, or even physical space for collaboration (like our maker space).
Community Building & Engagement
Help grow and nurture the 36in36 community. Earn tokens by promoting our initiatives, moderating forums, organizing local or virtual meetups, translating content, or creating engaging social media posts.
Platform & Operational Support
Contribute to the smooth functioning and improvement of the 36in36 platform itself. This includes beta testing new features, providing feedback, writing documentation, or assisting with administrative tasks.
Submitting & Refining Ideas
Innovation starts with an idea. Earn tokens by submitting well-thought-out problems or project concepts to our "What's Your Problem?" board, or by actively participating in the refinement and validation of existing ideas.
Submit Your Idea »Fairness and Transparency in Token Allocation
We are committed to a fair and transparent process for token allocation. While the specifics may vary per task or contribution type, the general principles include:
- Effort & Complexity: More demanding or complex contributions generally receive higher token rewards.
- Impact & Value: Contributions that significantly advance a project or the platform, or provide high-value resources, are recognized accordingly.
- Skill & Scarcity: Specialized skills or contributions that are harder to source may also command higher token allocations.
For internal accounting and tracking purposes, we often use a base reference (e.g., equating a certain number of tokens to an estimated hour of standardized work). However, it's crucial to remember that this is for internal record-keeping only and does not imply or guarantee any current or future monetary value for the tokens.
