Kin Community Rewards
Rewarding Contributions to the Development of the Kin Ecosystem
Working together to succeed together — that is the philosophy behind Kin. Recognizing Kin’s belief in a more fair digital world where everyone is rewarded for the value they create online, the Kin Community Council has proposed a way to reward contributions to the Kin Ecosystem of all shapes and sizes.
The Kin Foundation has approved a 500M kin quarterly trial to be divided among a number of community members for their contributions at the Kin Council’s discretion. The Council will also be using this trial to further develop the scoring rubric for the potential ongoing community rewards program. This incentive model would unlock the greater Kin community to contribute and grow in the same way that the Kin Rewards Engine accelerates the growth of apps in the ecosystem.
Contributions to Kin
To kick off the program, thirteen contributors with 16 entries have been identified for compensation by the Kin Council. This list is not meant to be a comprehensive inventory of all contributions by any means, but rather to function as a way to fast-track compensation to a small number of dedicated longtime contributors, in order to get this process started.
You can view a leaderboard of community rewards participants along with an outline of the underlying scoring rubric, which is still a work in progress, at https://kincouncil.com/kin-community-rewards/.
