With the latest proposal passing in the DAO snapshot vote, we are locked, loaded and ready to revitalize what made Developer DAO great by helping send 3 active contributors to DevConnect with up to $2000 each. We wanted to bring back that “build web3 with friends” vibe that arguably made D_D one of the best developer communities in the ecosystem. Many people who’ve come through the DAO have gone on to have incredible careers, founded multi-million dollar companies and most important of all, made great human connections along the way. Whether chilling in VC5 or hanging out at a global crypto conference, the vibes have always been immaculate which is why we’re looking to help send 3 of the most active members in the community to DevConnect. Who knows, maybe you’ll hack your way to a new job or start a new company 👀

The more referrals you get, the more points you’ll collect which will be taken in consideration in our scoring system when we pick winners.
How to Participate and Win
While the referral points will help your case, it won’t be enough. To really solidify your odds you need to show that you’re an active member of the community with a curated list of D_D related participation activities (see below) that we’ll take into consideration. There is a scoring system behind all of this with all the activities listed below providing scoring points; however, there are some activities that are worth more points then others (e.g. creating tutorial content). In the same vein you don’t want lose out on points for low hanging fruit activities like following social accounts, subscribing to the newsletter, luma events page, minting DevNTell episodes, etc..
Note: The full points system will be revealed at a later date
The more you participate, the more points you’ll earn and more likely it will be that you’ll get selected (past participation also counts)
