Introduction to the 2018 WAX Bounty Program

The Worldwide Asset eXchange™ team has been incredibly busy these last few months — choosing the blockchain base technology, hiring, developing partnerships, onboarding Crypto Collectibles™, attending and speaking at events, and much more.

And the community has been with us every step of the way — supporting us at events, engaging in lively discussions on Telegram, and creating content around WAX (have you seen the WAX belt buckle yet?)

In return, we want to support our community by giving you the opportunity to earn WAX in exchange for you showcasing your support of our project’s mission, use case, and tech.

And with that, we bring you: The 2018 WAX Bounty Program

What is the 2018 WAX Bounty Program?

WAX is a unique project, that’s unlike most others in the crypto space. Is it any wonder that the WAX bounty program will be the same?

We’re not going to ask you to meaninglessly spam your social media followers in exchange for some measly rewards. Instead, we’re going to ask you to channel your passion and enthusiasm for WAX into some killer content that helps spread the word about how the Worldwide Asset eXchange will change the future of trading digital items.

And in exchange, there are three prize tiers: entry prize, second place prize(s), and grand prize(s).

Overall, the purpose of the WAX Bounty is to encourage the community of WAX Token holders to help us market and promote the WAX Platform and the use of WAX Tokens on the platform. We want to say “thanks for being here from the beginning!” to the current WAX community members by offering additional WAX Tokens for the best WAX community-created content.

So, if you would like to help spread the word and inform more people of the advantages of all things WAX — read on below for the criteria and examples.

WAX Bounty Program Submission Criteria:

The following criteria is required for a user’s content to be considered for any prizes in the 2018 WAX Bounty Program:

Only qualified entries will receive an entry prize and be considered for a second place or grand prize. A qualified entry is one that’s deemed “high quality” by the WAX Team. There are no specific parameters for this, but submissions that show that actual effort has gone into creating the submission will receive an entry prize. For example, writing “WAX IS AWESOME” in pencil on a sheet of paper will not be eligible for an entry prize, but a video or photo series showing a creative illustration of the WAX logo will be eligible. The content submitted must be public and shareable on social media, such as in the form of a YouTube video, photos or animations in an Imgur album, a Medium blog post, etc. For example if you create a physical object related to WAX, submit a link to an Imgur album of photos or animations showcasing the object so that it’s shareable content. If you write an article, publish it to a blog like Medium so that it’s shareable content. At a minimum, content must be shared accordingly:

4. The subject of your creative piece must be related to WAX. Again the purpose is to help us market and promote the WAX Platform and the use of WAX Tokens on the platform. Refer to the examples listed above for suggested content, or create your own. Please be advised that submissions related to the trading price of WAX or WAX as an investment will not be accepted or considered for any prizes including entry prizes.

5. You must own the content that you are submitting.

6. Submissions will be accepted from 12:00am EST May 11, 2018 date to 11:59pm EST June 1, 2018. There is an initial cap of 1,000 submissions (which may be extended). Limit one content submission per entrant.
