Community driven approach at C4E — the initiatives and how to join them
C4E proudly calls itself a project with a community driven approach. What does it mean and how we are encouraging everyone to participate in the project life will be answered in this article. Before we move on to it, we’d like to start with a big thanks for all the people who already have been close to us by participating in the Zealy paths, joining Validator campaigns, supporting us, taking part in presale or just commenting on X, Discord or Telegram and being close with the C4E project.
ChargEra
The expansion of ChargEra, our EV mobility charging platform built on C4E DePIN infrastructure, is based on community engagement, feedback and market research, ensuring our services remain relevant and beneficial to all targeted users.
This is why testing with the community the EV Charging and billing solution ChargEra is important. You take an essential for the development of the C4E EV platform.
On the numbers side, we have waitlisted people who want to test our EV platform and 500+ charging tests with our users. Separate and respective market research has also been already completed.
The feedback we received so far pointed out to us that while our ChargEra has great potential for real world adoption and fills in the gap in the fast-growing market of e mobility, some aspects could be improved — both from the market and the product side.
Interesting takeaways included the information that such system could be communicated as usable in almost any place with a standard electric socket and space for the EV to park, meaning its availability, the simplicity of the design and usage and last, but not least other advantages including those from timesaving and mind-free finding suitable charging place. The remarks also pointed out that the product is being awaited by potential customers.
Notable opinions from our testers:
James: “The ChargEra platform worked great for me! There were no compatibility issues while charging my EV with a remote charger. On the other hand, it was convenient that I could pay for the charging instantly.”
Kris: “The solution’s simplicity of use impresses me. I see great potential. I’m eagerly awaiting a commercial solution. I’m sure that many of my customers are interested in using my charger for their electric vehicles and C4E & FIAT payment.”
Right now, we are working over the next version of our ChargEra platform, with internal tests going on and proceeding as planned. In the future, the updated platform version will be released, accessible to more adopters, including you, our community members.
Community Testnet
The C4E Testnet grants users first-hand experience with our blockchain technology. This is crucial for gathering community feedback, identifying improvements and educating the community in the use cases of our network.
Testnet is active all the time despite the fact that we also have our Mainnet live already. We believe that thanks to it our community can test out the C4E network before reaching out to mainnet and tokens with real value — it provides educational values as they can get accustomed to our project and possible operations on our network. On the other hand it is also a perfect place to proof-shoot the newly implemented solutions by our team.
So far thousands of participants took part and “tinkered” with our Testnet — sending, delegating, redelegating or even taking part in a Testnet Governance session and also setted up testnet nodes.
Thanks to the testnet, we got a well functioning mainnet, staking, governance and many other blockchain features.
Governance DAO
Governance and DAO play an important part in the development of our project. They support decentralization by democratizing C4E as a project and fostering our community in giving it the ability to have a say in where our future should lead us to.
There have already been 9 governance votes, with an average voting participation of 80.05% (77.340.000 votes) — with maximum recorded participation coming from the proposal 4 (95.05%) and with average votes for accepting the proposals being 97.99%.
The proposals revolve around important project issues defining the future of the C4E. One recent notable example is Proposal 8 which has been significantly influenced by the C4E community — many of whom recently joined through airdrops and AMA rewards — voted for refining our project’s tokenomics for the impending listing and laying out Foundations for the MASSIVE TOKEN BURN OF 100 MILLION C4E.
With it we’ve decided to reshape our strategic reserve, boost the liquidity, and streamline our funding approach. It’s all about making C4E stronger for our listing and beyond, with each of you playing a pivotal role in this exciting chapter.
As you can see, there are multiple occasions for you to influence the project. This is why if you have some airdropped tokens that you haven’t yet staked, do it ASAP to be able to participate in the upcoming Governance sessions or if you are a Validator you should not skip any of the ongoing proposals voting ;)
AMA and Spaces
Our regular AMA sessions on Telegram and X Spaces, are designed to foster open communication, transparency, and community engagement.
We have been active in many AMA groups, like Crypto Titans, Crypto Detector or Geek Community and hearing questions from you guys helped us to see the new directions where we can be better and communicate more clearly for better understanding.
In terms of numbers, the communities we are present on showcasing our solutions hold on average between 15K — 45K members. We focus on the aspect of spreading awareness about our project. In terms of Spaces regularly held on our X, one of the recent ones had a stunning record of over 10.4k participants! As you can see we are all about fire and iron.
These activities provide a direct line of communication between the community and our team, allowing for real-time feedback and updates. You are more than just welcomed to take part in them and to ask us questions. Apart from having the opportunity to directly engage with our Core team you may also win rewards for your participation and contributions.
Conferences and Events
Participation in industry conferences and events allows us to showcase our technology, gather feedback, and stay connected with the community’s needs and industry trends, ensuring our solutions are aligned with market demands and community expectations.
Very often we see you there, and we have lots of insightful talks with you guys — thank you for that!
Feedback
We are always open to your suggestions and most importantly we are here for you! Yes, without you, there would be no C4E. So feel free to share with us your opinions and feedback any time and anywhere we are present — on our Telegram Group, Discord Server, under our X posts, LinkedIn page, via email or directly in person.
We believe that one of the core contributors to crypto project success is a strong community which receives direct, straightforward communication. Remember — we are on the same team ;) Roger out and let’s conquer the crypto Space together!
