Congratulations to all of the April winners!
The amount of participation in the program has exceeded our expectations and we have witnessed a large number of new developers joining ARK and submitting great Pull-Requests. As such, we want to ensure that everyone is being recognized for their contributions. For the month of May, we are going to try a slightly altered reward structure that will reduce the reward for the top 3 winners to allow us to recognize even more of our awesome community developers.
For the month of May, the total monthly ARK rewards for the program will still be 12,000 ARK, but we are going to increase the number of contributors rewarded from the top 3 to the top 10. Here is a breakdown of what the rewards will look like for May:
1st of May 2017–31st of May 2017 :
- 1st place: 4,000 ARK
- 2nd place: 2,000 ARK
- 3rd place: 1,000 ARK
- 4th-8th place: 500 ARK /each
- 9th-10th place: 250 ARK/each
Most Valuable Pull (MVP-ARK) : 2,000 ARK
Thank you for all that you are doing to push ARK forward. We have the best community in all of crypto and we wouldn’t want to be on this journey without you. We can’t wait to see what you come up with in May!
