How it works
What’s happened so far:
The team at Saddle have built out the core dApp and smart contracts, and now it’s time to start opening the project up to the community. Saddle is an evolving project; they need the community’s support!
Your opportunity:
Come along and answer technical or non-technical bounties and get rewarded by prizes paid in SDL.
•
Earn 7.5 million SDL
Successful participants in b4b will be rewarded with SDL tokens. SDL is the governance token for the Saddle protocol/project.
How to participate
Step 1: Learn about Saddle.
Step 2: Once you have a good lay of the land, you can rally your crew (or ride solo!).
Step 3: Register below for the programme (you’ll be onboarded, provided with updates and given some helpful links). You do not need to know which bounty you are doing at this stage (we can help advise).
Step 4: We’ll onboard you to the discord and help you with answering your bounty.
Step 5: Submit when you are ready via the submission form (which we will share privately).
Step 6: Collect your prize!
