Unlike many other DAOs, Kumeka Team is a merit-based community. There are no tokens that can be bought to gain access. Instead, we require all members of our community to work hard. Below you will find detailed information about the levels of our community and how you can join it.
Learner [Level 1]
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join our community as a Learner. We especially welcome those who are interested in cryptocurrency and want to better understand the wild world of Web3. As a Learner, you will become part of our Discord server and have access to several channels, including the #earn and #proof-of-work channels.
How to become a Learner:
- Join us on Discord
Benefits of the Learner status:
- Access to public channels on Discord
- Be the first to see new earning opportunities
- Participate in community calls
- Giveaways and bounties from Kumeka Team
Members [Level 2].
Team members are the heart and soul of the Kumeka Team. They are the best of the best, distinguished by their proven ability to help other projects. In terms of Dunbar numbers, we purposefully maintain a limited number of seats (~150) for team members.
As a member, you will have full access to the Kumeka Team community. This includes priority in receiving grants, help with finding or creating projects, and branded merchandise. Most members use this as a lever to build and promote themselves in Web3 and meet some of the most interesting people in the local cryptocurrency scene.
Inactive members are regularly weeded out to make room for new ones. As a Member, you become an integral part of the Kumeka Team and get access to the community backend.
