Trader Joe: Cultivation Club - $20k Bounty Program Initiative
🌿 The Cultivation Club
The Club was established in October of last year and was tasked with the management of Community Farms. This was a first step towards Community Governance for the Trader Joe platform and enabled the Club members to vote on deploying or closing Community Managed Farms. A mandate of 15 Farms in total were managed succesfully over a number of months. But we have larger plans for the Cultivation Club, and the next step is now here.
🌿 New: The Bounty Program Initiative
Trader Joe is here to make DeFi accessible and at the heart of this mission, is the Community. Contribution and involvement from the Community will help to shape and push forward the development of the Trader Joe platform.
We introduce the Bounty Program Initiative and therefore broaden the scope of involvement for the Cultivation Club. The Club now have the power to open proposals for bounty work, reward Community contribution, and empower the Community to help shape the Trader Joe platform.
An initial sum of $20,000 USDC is now available to utilise for Community bounties. These bounties can be proposed by the Cultivation Club directly. If a proposal is voted in by the Cultivation Club, the bounties will then be pushed live for Contribution. All rewards are decided and distributed by the Committee Panel, elected Community members charged with the management of the Cultivation Club.
TLDR: If you have an idea or proposal of contribution to the Trader Joe Community and Platform (Marketing Content, Collateral, Graphics, Analytics, Reporting, Documentation, etc) you can now put forward this suggestion to the Cultivation Club. If approved a Bounty will be announced and the winning contribution rewarded.
