As the world’s first supercloud for serverless computing, Akash needs your support to materialize our vision of empowering the architects and builders of the internet with greater access, freedom, and efficiency to create products that improve the human experience.

In these early days, we want you to join and help us establish the foundation for a valuable and engaged community. In this effort, we’re excited to announce the Akash Founding Member Rewards Program!

Of the 100,000,000 tokens that will ever be pre-mined at genesis, we’re allocating 2% (2,000,000 AKT’s!) to a reward program for early contributors in our community.

Of the 100,000,000 tokens that will ever be pre-mined at genesis, we’re allocating 2% (2,000,000 AKT’s!) to a reward program for early contributors in our community. Our reward program is inspired by projects from the community, such as Solana’s Tour de Sol, Cosmos Game of Stakes, and Kava Founder Rewards.

Our Founding Member Rewards Program focuses on Akash Testnet participation. The program is limited to only 100 members and involves 3 challenges. Each challenge has a corresponding reward, for a total of 3,500 AKTs:

Challenge: Deploy an end-to-end encrypted chat client on Akash and attach a custom domain.

Reward: 500 AKTs

Instructions:

1. Sign up to Akash Testnet.
2. Follow the instructions for deploying a Riot web client on Akash.

Submission:

1. Fork the ecosystem repository.
2. Clone the ecosystem repository to your workstation. For example, where <user> is your GitHub username:

git clone https://github.com/<user>/ecosystem.git

3. Create a file with the domain you mapped and your participation id from Testnet. For example:

echo "3bif3qp17x22l" > founders/level1/chat.dentacoin.com

Where 3bif3qp17x22l is the participation id and chat.dentacoin.com is your domain. See a sample.
