Calling all Developers, Designers, Dreamers and Doers… The team working on Celo is excited to kick off the Incentivized Community Challenge for The Great Celo Stake Off (TGCSO), and reward community members for a variety of contributions to the Celo Protocol!
Celo has been fortunate to see enthusiasm around Phase 1 of TGCSO where chefs got a chance to “Learn to Cook” and gain operational experience on the Baklava testnet.
Those wishing to participate in the network beyond being a validator can earn the chance to receive Mainnet Celo Gold (not Baklava testnet Celo Gold, cGLD) through contributions outlined below! Contributors can submit multiple contributions throughout the competition, running until the end of The Great Celo Stake Off.
The number of Celo Gold Units within each program is determined by C Labs pending a review process. Final reward totals and information on details needed to receive your reward will be communicated at the end of TGCSO via email. Please ensure that you have registered for TGCSO here, review Terms and Conditions, and submission guidelines to ensure prompt reviews.
WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE
1. Technical Contributions (Up to 500 Celo Gold Units per contribution)
- Contributing to technical documentation (creating, correcting, translating)
- Contributing to existing Celo-monorepo and Celo-blockchain code (optimization, cleanup, extend feature, new feature, bug)
- Contributing to tests (improving coverage)
Submitting Technical Contributions:
Please review the Contributing Guide before starting work. If you intend on submitting a contribution, submit your work in a PR (pull request) regularly and often to solicit feedback and to ensure everyone has an idea of what you’re working on. If you’ve just started, create a PR with “WIP” (Work In Progress) in the title and let the team know in the comments when it’s ready to review. For any large and immediate security bugs, please email security@celo.org.
2. Community Helper (Up to 500 Celo Gold Units total)
- Helping the community by answering questions on discord and forum
- Top helpers may be awarded a forum & discord badge if they earn more than 200 Celo Gold Units through Community Helper contributions over the duration of the TGCSO
Submitting Community Helper Contributions:
Contributors do not have to submit anything. Contributors will be awarded and notified at the discretion of the C labs team.
