We started the initiative of Shardeum Leagues as it embodies our ethos of decentralization and community-driven growth. Shardeum Leagues empowers people to contribute to Shardeum’s mission by building rich, self-run communities across the globe. As we grow and scale, these community-run groups play a crucial role in spreading awareness about Shardeum and its ecosystem.
Guidelines for Shardeum Leagues:
- Identity and Transparency
- To ensure consistency and clarity across the community, all Leagues must include terms like "Community-Run" or "A Shardeum League" in your League's name and bio. This distinction helps the broader community recognize your League as an integral part of the Shardeum ecosystem while acknowledging its independent, community-driven nature.
- New social media accounts representing Leagues should declare their profile as a League within 30 days of creation to avoid potential IP infringement issues.
- Content Standards
- While we fully support creativity and engagement, it’s important that all content shared by Shardeum Leagues is informative and reflects our community values. We expect all Leagues to adhere to these guidelines to preserve the integrity and reputation of the Shardeum community and avoid sharing content that is:
- Unrelated to Shardeum
- Harassing or offensive material
- Racial slurs or discriminatory language
- False or misleading content
- Unethical or inappropriate content
- Compliance and Rewards
- We are committed to working with Leagues to address any issues and ensure alignment with Shardeum's vision. However, failure to adhere to these standards will result in the issuance of up to three strikes by the Shardeum Foundation. Upon receiving the third strike, the League's rewards will be forfeited, and Shardeum will take necessary actions to protect the integrity of the community and the overall ecosystem.
As Shardeum scales, our community becomes increasingly important. Leagues play a vital role in creating a decentralized network of advocates and educators and driving grassroots adoption of Shardeum and the Web3 movement.
With great power, comes great responsibility: By following these guidelines, you help maintain the integrity of the Shardeum brand while contributing to our shared vision of a decentralized future.
