How do I take part in the “Contributor Program”?
Hi all lovers of blockchain, Web 3.0 and the crypto industry in general. Today I want to tell you exactly how you can participate in “Contributor Program” and what are the benefits of it.
Let’s start with a short introduction about ConnextNetwork, what kind of project is it and what does it do? And then let’s get to the essence of the Contributor Program.
Connext is an interoperability protocol that allows developers to create fully expressive add-on applications (xApps) with an emphasis on security.
In simple words, the project tries to solve the problem of blockchain interoperability across networks. Offering the best solution for this — its functional crosschain bridge.
I think I have given you an idea of what the idea of the project is. In the near future I will write a more detailed article about the project itself, its team, and its prospects in general. And now let’s get back to the topic of our article today, namely how to become a project ambassador, and what might be the benefits of doing so?
To begin with, this program has been going on for several months now, but it’s not too late to take part. So if you are not yet an ambassador for this project, I recommend that you apply for it. I’ll tell you how to do that in a moment.

First join discord and fill out this form. Basically, there is nothing complicated here, you just need to answer a few questions. After you fill out this form, you will receive an email with a link to go through KYC. When you get approved for KYC, it usually takes anywhere from 5 minutes to 24 hours if you’ve done everything right. You’ll get another email again asking you to sign the appropriate documents with the various nuances of the program. Usually this letter does not come right away, I personally received it in 4 days. Yes, as you can see, the project takes the ambassador program very seriously, and I think this is a big plus.
So you’ve already done everything, passed the KYC, signed the appropriate documents, and then what? And then we go to the project discord and there we can see that you have been given the role of Contributors. After receiving this role, you need to go to the #select-track-role and choose the direction in which you like most and in which you can prove yourself the best. You can only choose one direction, if you choose more than one, you may be disqualified.
And now let’s see what exactly there are directions:
👫 Community Leaders
Community Leaders steward our ecosystem. They are responsible for running localized Connext communities around the world, supporting new users of the network, educating their regions about the network, managing social spaces for the ecosystem, and stewarding the community by upholding our values and policies.
- People Skills Level Required: Advanced
- Technical Level Required: Low
- Fluid online-IRL presence: Recommended
🛠️ Builders
Builders are the heart of the network. Builders are responsible for developing new use cases for the protocol, integrating Connext into other ecosystems, mentoring new devs that are using Connext, and evangelizing Connext in developer spaces.
- Technical Level Required: Advanced
- Web3 ethos: Required
- Ability to transform bugs into features: Appreciated
📚 Content & Education
Content creators & educators help the world learn about Connext. They create high quality content around Connext (Videos, Tweets, Medium posts, Memes, etc..), and develop technical and nontechnical educational resources.
- Creativity Level Required: Advanced
- Technical Knowledge: Preferred
- DeFi/Bridges Knowledge: Recommended
🗼Routers
Routers operate the network. Members of this track run their own routers as part of our public testnet of the Amarok upgrade (and eventually mainnet!), build tooling and interfaces to improve the experience of operating a router, and generally help manage the router community.
- Technical Level Required: Advanced
- Passion for Web3 Infra: Required
- Extreme desire for automation: Appreciated
🎁 Grants
Grantees are the innovators of the network. While the other tracks encapsulate the key mechanism by which community members can get involved, there are always innovative ways to support the network that we haven’t yet thought of! Grantees propose and receive funding for special one-off projects that they expect to grow the ecosystem.
- Technical Level Required: Moderate
- Passion for Innovation: Required
- Open mindset: Appreciated
So, we’ve got the basic directions that are available in the project figured out. So, given your skills, I recommend that you choose the direction in which you can show yourself best.
And now to the fun part, why participate in the Contributor Program at all? Well, first of all, it’s new knowledge, yes, yes, knowledge is the greatest value you can get. But you will say I already know a lot, why do I need more? So for people like you I would call the second big plus an opportunity to get acquainted with the project team. But you’ll say I already have a lot of friends, why do I need even more? So the third big plus will be the opportunity to be among the first to try out the new products of the project. But here you can say that you are already tried many products and you are not interested. For people like you there is a fourth very important plus, namely the opportunity to get a NEXT token for all your efforts, but here you can say that you already have this token. And here is some important information:
The Next token is not publicly available yet, so if you see any sales of this token or someone writes you a private message with a request to buy token. Know that they are scammers, never fall prey to scammers, and always check the information!
Now that you know all the information you need to take part in the Contributor Program, as well as its nuances and powerful benefits. I advise you not to put it off, but to participate in this program immediately. And remember, it is your decision today that determines who you will be tomorrow!
