Congratulations Everyone!
Another big milestone achieved!
Thank you to all the contributors!
Following is the first draft for rules regarding the Bounty program that I plan to start from Monday.
This is just a draft and I would love any kind of feedback coming from the community.
I will finalise the rules by tomorrow after I get some feedback from the community. We will start the campaign from Monday.
I have allocated 7K XEL from my holdings for this. We could have a better, more rewarding, and longer running Bounty program of someone else joins in and contributes some XEL. I will wait till tomorrow to see if someone wants to contribute some.
Draft:
