👋 Hello! Welcome to the Connext Contributor Program.
The Contributor Program is a community incentive program designed to encourage community members of different backgrounds and skillsets to steward and take ownership of key aspects of our ecosystem. Participants of the program will be given points based on the quality of their contributions to the ecosystem using evaluation criteria developed by existing leaders in the community.
When the NEXT token goes live, we plan to submit a proposal to the Connext DAO to retroactively reward participants proportional to points received.
<aside> 🚨 Unfortunately, we cannot accept participants from the US into the program at this time. That said, we would still love to keep in touch - please fill out this form to stay informed about future opportunities!

The program starts on the 20th of April 2022. Phase One of the program will run until the NEXT token launches. After the token and DAO are live, we expect to continue with further phases of the program.
The program consists of 5 Tracks (Community Leadership, Builders, Content & Education, Routers, and Grants), that are operated by Track Operators; experienced leaders within the community that are not part of the core team.
<aside> 💡 Note: You may only participate in one Contributor Track at a time. This is to avoid the complexity of managing and rewarding points for duplicate submissions between tracks.
We recognize that there is overlap between these tracks — if you plan to do more than one thing, just pick whichever track suits you best and include all of your work in the submission form at the end of the program. We will take your additional work into account when awarding points!

Here is a breakdown of each track:
The application process consists of several steps. You must complete all of these steps to participate:
