What is Proof-of-Care?

We would never be here without our beloved community.

Proof-of-Care is a fair and transparent community outreach effort to reward the community for spreading the word for us. We believe Proof-of-Care is the best mechanism for inclusive engagement.

Many of you have emailed, messaged and wrote us personal notes of gratitude and feedback on how you think the project can further improve. We are truly indebted for such a genuine Rate3 community; and this prompted us to think further about how the community can help us further.

One example that touched our hearts:

Show the love and spread the word for us by sharing about us. It can be on your social media channels, a quick YouTube video or podcast, a forum post, Medium reviews, a project analysis or any other creative ways! (And we will show our gratitude in awarding RTE tokens!)

We want to build a genuine community with your help! So, anything — be as creative, original, authentic as possible — will help!

Rate3 wants to unify the global e-commerce ecosystem. The more participants we have, the more valuable this ecosystem would be for everyone.

Why are we doing this?

Most importantly, we are building the future of payment without borders: one that is owned by the people. It’s only fair we do everything together alongside this journey.

Specifically…

  • Exceptional individuals have been helping us to spread the word and we want to reward their efforts;
  • We are solving a very, very big challenge and we want to get the word out to as many people as possible;
  • By having the community give us reviews and feedback, we are tapping on the collective wisdom, knowledge and experience of the community

Here’s How It Works

It’s really simple in 3 simple steps!

  1. Share the Love: share about Rate3 (RTE) on your social channels, review Rate3 (RTE), do a video or podcast, post in your communities or Reddit.
  2. Show the Proof: access this simple form and fill in your details, proof of care.
  3. Enjoy the Rewards: we will send you RTE tokens according to how original, authentic and popular your proof-of-care are!

You can upload as many proofs-of-care as you want during this period and we will review all the various proofs.

How Is My Proof-of-Care Score Calculated?

You can achieve Proof-of-Care by demonstrating how you have understood the mission and objectives of Rate3 Network, and showing us that you care.

The amount of token allocation you will receive depends on your Proof-of-Care score. Some factors that influence your score are:

FAQs

Q: How is this different from an airdrop campaign?

A traditional airdrop campaign often does not show genuine effort. We want to build a genuine community, so a proof-of-care is better!

Q: Why is there a range of scores, and not an exact score?

We do not want to judge the quantity alone, but quality as well. Rest assured, we will gauge each proof-of-care based on its originality, creativity, authenticity and outreach.

Q: Why are only links accepted for Proof-of-Care submissions?

We want to make sure all Proof-of-Care submissions are live. If it is only an image submission, the actual proof can be deleted easily.

Q: When does this Proof-of-Care end?

This Proof-of-Care will end on 30 April 2018. However, depending on the response, we might extend it.

Q: When will I know my final score?

Multiple entries will be tagged to your Telegram handle and the scores of all your entries will be summed up to give you a cumulative score at the end of the campaign.

Q: How do I get rewarded?

Remember to submit your proof-of-care here, before 30 April 2018. Make sure you input an Ethereum address where you have access to the private keys. This means your own personal wallet (MEW, ledger etc.) and not any exchange wallet.

If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to join in the discussion in our Telegram community.

We can’t thank all of you enough.
