Aleo Ambassador Program: Empowering Enthusiasts on the Path to Mainnet 2023
Greetings, Aleo Enthusiasts! 🚀
The dawn of 2023 has brought with it a flurry of activity for Aleo, and we’re only in March! With the conclusion of Aleo’s Phase II of Testnet 3 on January 31, the journey towards Mainnet 2023 gains momentum. As we gear up for the next phase of testing and the eventual Mainnet launch, we’re thrilled to announce the continued evolution of the Ambassador Program, a community-driven initiative that has been pivotal in shaping Aleo’s growth and success.
A Glimpse into Aleo’s Achievements
Testnet 3’s Phase II was a resounding success. Over 44,000 Provers engaged with the network, contributing to a staggering over 5 BILLION proofs per second. Among these Provers were some dedicated members of our Ambassador Program, a community that has been instrumental in Aleo’s journey.
Evolution of the Ambassador Program
Established in March 2022, the Ambassador Program was crafted with a singular objective: to foster a vibrant community of individuals passionate about Aleo. This community was to be a source of quality and informative content, encompassing both technical and non-technical aspects. It was a platform to showcase the remarkable contributions of Aleo’s community members.
In the previous round, we introduced significant changes to the Ambassador Program, ensuring a more engaging and rewarding experience:
- A points system was implemented to reward ambassadors with Aleo Points* for their contributions.
- A grading rubric was introduced to evaluate and guide ambassadors’ works.
- The introduction of the “voyagers,” a group bridging the gap between apprentices and maestros.
- Clear pathways for promotions and demotions based on the quality of contributions.
Community Growth and Goals for 2023
Aleo’s Discord community has flourished, swelling to over 57,000 verified members within a year. As we anticipate the grand Mainnet launch, the Ambassador Program is poised to expand. With around 200 ambassadors currently, we aim to elevate this number to approximately 400 by the time Mainnet 2023 is unveiled. Our ambitions for this year are substantial, and a robust Ambassador Program will play a pivotal role in cultivating a supportive and encouraging environment for Aleo’s builders.
Guidelines and Updates
As the Ambassador Program evolves, we’re excited to introduce new updates that bring clarity to the program’s expectations. Notably, we have established brand guidelines that serve as the yardstick for evaluating submissions. Subjective grading has given way to a more objective approach — adhering to the brand guidelines ensures maximum points on the grading scale.
The brand guidelines encompass:
- Ensuring error-free submissions.
- Verifying the accuracy of information.
- Adhering to logos, colors, and variations outlined in our brand page.
- Limiting posts to a maximum of two hashtags.
- Including a clear action item for readers.
Introducing the Ambassador Bot and Point System
We’re thrilled to unveil the much-awaited ambassador bot, designed and developed by an Aleo ambassador. This bot simplifies the monthly submission process by directly interacting with Discord. No more Google Forms or Sheets! The bot also features a leaderboard, providing ambassadors insight into their performance compared to their peers.
