FAQ
Why It’s Good for Projects?
1. Access Top Talent Without Full-Time Hires We bring in high-quality developers and curators — no need for staffing, payroll expansion, or managing a bounty program. You get focused contributions from people motivated by real rewards.
2. Attract Real Users, Not Just Speculators The people funding development aren’t just passive token holders — they’re aligned, active supporters who are invested in your protocol’s long-term success.
3. Zero Upfront Cost You don’t pay out of pocket. Development is funded through community-backed pools. In return, you allocate a small portion of future tokens — only after value is delivered.
4. Decentralized and Fair Token Distribution Tokens go to those who contribute meaningfully: developers and early supporters. This strengthens your community and results in a more decentralized, diverse token holder base.
5. Transparent, Measurable Contributions Every task, pull request, and fix is tracked. You can clearly see what was built, who did it, and what value your token allocation is actually rewarding
Why It’s Good for Supporters?
1. Back real work — not just speculation When you contribute to a Contribo pool, you're funding real development — not trading hype. Your support helps ship features, fix bugs, and improve protocols directly.
2. Receive Liquid Contribution Tokens (LCTs) For every contribution you make, you receive LCTs — your proof of participation. They’re fully on-chain, tradable, and unlock token rewards after a project’s TGE.
3. Early access to upside You get exposure to new projects and token allocations before public launches — all by helping bring them to life, not just by holding.
4. Full flexibility Don’t want to wait? You can trade your LCTs on the Contribo Marketplace, giving you liquidity and optionality before the project’s token goes live.
5. Transparent and fair No hidden terms. No middlemen. Everything — from your contribution to your claim — is tracked on-chain and verifiable.
Supporters aren't just early — they’re essential. You’re helping build Web3 from the ground up.
Why It’s Good for Developers?
1. Get paid to build meaningful things No bounty hunting, no chasing likes. You work on scoped, high-impact tasks tied directly to real project needs — and get paid for delivering quality.
2. Build your on-chain portfolio Every contribution you make is recorded on-chain — a provable track record of work. Perfect for building a public portfolio, boosting your credibility, and landing future opportunities.
3. Stay close to projects that matter As a contributor, you’re directly plugged into the projects you build for. You stay up-to-date on their progress, roadmaps, and ecosystem — not just a hired hand, but a real stakeholder.
4. No gatekeeping No need to be part of a DAO, core team, or closed community. If you can deliver value, you’re in. Propose your own ideas or apply to structured tasks.
5. Collaborate, not compete Join managed teams with clear scopes, feedback loops, and shared ownership. No bounty chaos, no gas wars — just clean execution.
Contribo gives developers the chance to earn, grow, and shape the future of Web3 — one meaningful contribution at a time.
Is Contribo a launchpad or investment platform?
No. Contribo is not a launchpad or investment platform. It's a coordination layer that funds actual development — not token speculation. Rewards are not guaranteed.
What do I get when I contribute to a pool?
You receive Liquid Contribution Tokens (LCTs), which represent your share of the pool. These can be traded or burned later to claim project tokens (if allocated) after the TGE.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are only available if the pool fails to reach its minimum cap and development hasn't started. Otherwise, funds are used to compensate developers.
What happens if a project doesn’t launch or deliver tokens?
There’s no guaranteed return. Pools without team collaboration carry risk. Some projects may not allocate tokens, and in that case, your LCTs may not hold value.
How do I get tasks?
You can apply to open tasks posted in active pools, or join early by helping define what should be built in collaboration with curators.
Is this like Gitcoin bounties?
Not quite. Tasks are pre-scoped, curated, and part of structured development sprints — with managed teams, clear review, and no bounty free-for-alls.
What is an LCT?
LCT (Liquid Contribution Token) is a token minted when you contribute to a pool. It represents your contribution and is required to claim project tokens later.
Can I sell or transfer my LCTs?
Yes. You can sell or buy LCTs on the Contribo Marketplace or transfer them to another wallet. Just remember: only the holder can burn them to redeem rewards.
