This initiative aims to recognize and reward early contributors to Namada's Community Builders Program, individuals and entities who have significantly furthered the protocol's mission and vision.
The Anoma Foundation underscores its commitment to this cause by allocating 10 million NAM tokens to deserving recipients in this RPGF round. This allocation will be part of the proposed genesis block for Namada mainnet, serving as an acknowledgment of those who have supported the project from its infancy, including validators active in early public testnets.
Acknowledging Early Validators
Validators who have participated in early Namada testnets, solved emerging issues, and flagged network challenges have been considered key members of Namada's Community.
These contributors are strongly encouraged to apply for this program. Eligibility will be determined through a process of peer attestation, ensuring a community-driven approach to rewards distribution.
About Namada's Protocol
Beyond its technical capabilities, Namada exists as a comprehensive ecosystem focused on modular privacy and the funding of privacy as a public good. The network incorporates mechanisms like shielded set rewards and a dedicated Public Goods Funding (PGF) mechanism which enables the governance-elected stewards to fund public goods across domains.
The network's native token, NAM, is not just a vehicle for proof-of-stake and governance; it plays a crucial role in aligning community incentives with the network's goals.
