Attention Please! We’ve partially stopped our bounty program and would like to thank all the participants who joined our mission to enable decentralized applications on mobile. Please note we stop accepting general reviews but welcome the people who submit such works as expert technical reviews, escalation of valid vulnerability and so on. Learn more! Recently we’ve also launched the Dev Bounty Program for mobile developers. Learn more!

We at MONET value the community and appreciate how everyone’s efforts amplify the power of the network. A project that develops a decentralized architecture should also nurture a distributed and diverse group of individuals that meaningfully contribute to the project in various ways. That is why we are announcing a Bounty Program, and inviting everyone to join our mission to enable decentralized applications on mobile. We want to spread awareness, get ideas, hear criticisms and unlock the power of the blockchain community.

MONET will allocate up to 0.5% from our overall token supply (5 000 000 bounty tokens) to the bounty program participants.

The Bounty Campaign starts from the moment this post is published, and it lasts till the end of the public Token Sale. Since the precise dates and format of the Token Sale are not yet determined, bounty rewards will be allocated on a rolling basis. We will publish more information in the update to this post on how the bounty payouts will be made. Some details are provided below.

Who can potentially contribute to the bounty program:

Mobile developers: we welcome work that would advance the idea of serverless applications powered by Babble and mobile ad hoc blockchains.

Participants of peer-to-peer economy: though essentially a catch-all category, it allows us to focus on the end-user and reward everyone who can meaningfully contribute to the MONET ecosystem.

Please familiarize yourself with the rules of the program:

1. Quality:

All the rewards will be defined on the ad hoc basis within each category. We will do our best to reward quality work and good effort. Creativity, analysis, thought provoking discussions, constructive criticisms is what we are looking for. Copying and pasting of the basic information is what we are trying to avoid. Please note the breakdown of rewards:

Unsatisfactory quality (copied materials, shallow analysis, misstatements) — no rewards Satisfactory quality — TENOM tokens up to $50 in value or the ETH equivalent of it.* Good quality — TENOM tokens up to $250 in value or the ETH equivalent of it. Great quality — TENOM tokens up to $500 in value or the ETH equivalent of it. All star quality (deep analysis, insightful conclusions, creative interpretations) — sky is the limit. The reward amount will be decided by the Team on a case-by-case basis.

*ETH rewards are payable right after the end of the private sale, token rewards are payable upon the completion of the public crowdsale and the launch of the mainnet. It’s up to the participant to decide which way to go with the payment.

2. Quality over Quantity:

We reward quality over quantity, so the depth of the analysis and critical thinking trumps regurgitating the information that is already available to the public.

3. Geographic Restrictions:

Note that the citizens, residents, or entities of the USA, Japan and China cannot participate in the program due to the regulatory reasons. We cannot guarantee that changes in regulatory environment would not exclude the persons of other countries from participation.

4. Permissions:

Participation in the Bounty program is permissionless; anyone can submit their inputs and we will evaluate them based on their merit. There is no need to apply to participate; you will only need to submit the result of your work. Please note, that only participants who receive a grade “Satisfactory” and above will be rewarded.

5. Other:

Every bounty participant must be in the telegram group in order to participate. Unallocated tokens will be retained for development of the ecosystem, creation of partnerships and further motivation of the community.

Please note that the Bounty campaign starts now, and will last until the launch of MONET Hub. We will start announcing the rewards to the first participants upon the completion of the pre-sale phase (fall 2018) and will continually do so on a rolling basis until the launch of the mainnet. We will still welcome active participation of community members once the network is launched. Half of the annual emission of the network will go towards rewarding the people who are committed to building MONET ecosystem with us. We will announce more details on that later.

We are happy to officially announce that MONET Bounty campaign starts now. We cannot wait to see what our community is capable of. Ready, set, go!
