In addition to surfacing critical bugs and features in preparation for the launch of the Stacks 2.0 mainnet, the testnet is a tremendous opportunity for community members to experiment with writing Clarity smart contracts and try out Blockstack's breakthrough consensus mechanism, Proof of Transfer (PoX) (via activities like mining, stacking, and delegation). As such, it is important to cultivate a strong community that is excited to test out, poke at, and tinker with the testnet at every phase.
Bounty prizes will be rewarded to those who exemplify excellence in community building by making the testnet more accessible to other community members. This may include translating documentation for members around the world, creating written/video testnet guides, or hosting virtual community meetups.
- Community bounties are currently in a trial phase. Depending on the success of these bounties during phase 1, new bounties may be released at the start of phases 2 and 3.
- All bounty winners will be selected during the final testnet phase, but participants are encouraged to submit bounties early since some bounties will have a deadline.
- Participants must complete at least 3 different activities to be eligible for any bounties.
- All bounties are listed as issues in this repository.
How much are the prizes for community bounties?
Participants can win Blockstack swag and up to $300 for various community bounties.
How do I submit my community bounties?
Each bounty is listed as an issue in this repo. Criteria for each bounty may vary, but for most bounties, you can simply post a link to your submission in the comments under each issue. We recommend using certain open source platforms, but you may use whatever platform works best for you.
When is the deadline to submit my community bounties?
The deadline to submit most community bounties will be at the end of phase 4 (Xenon). Some community bounties may have earlier deadlines. Please double check the criteria for all bounties before sending in your submissions.
Where can I go if I have other questions or need further support on community bounties? The easiest way to get help is to join us in the #stacks-2-testnet channel on Discord. You can also send an email to [email protected].
