Peaq Ambassador Program

Details

The peaq Ambassador Program was kicked off before the peaq network and token go live. Why? Because ‘decentralization’ isn't a one-and-done deal; it's a journey, and peaq’s most passionate supporters are integral to the decentralization process. 

Consider this program a call-to-action for visionary leaders and believers in peaq's mission to power the Economy of Things and democratize abundance in the age of AI and automation. Ambassadors are an extension of the initiating team, and as peaq transitions to fully decentralized over the years ahead, individuals who start as ambassadors will be the ones grabbing the baton. Are you ready to be one of those torchbearers? 

This is your ticket to get in on the ground floor, earn rewards, push the network and peaqosystem forward, and actively shape how the community will govern peaq in the best interests of the network — and by extension, the world.

‍What is the peaq Ambassador Program?

The peaq Ambassador program is the best way to get deeply integrated into the peaq community and earn rewards for helping peaq achieve its mission. peaq Ambassadors are proactive community leaders who champion the mission of building an Economy of Things that works for the 100%, not just the 1%, acting as the face and voice of peaq.

This program aims to give more power to the peaqonauts. Unlock your potential while refining your skills, learning, and helping to build a stronger community and peaqosystem. 

‍How does the program work? 

The peaq Ambassador Program has a multi-tier structure. In this first version, the program is split into two tiers: Contributors and Ambassadors. Ambassadors and Contributors have their own set of requirements, responsibilities, rewards, and selection processes. In the future, the program will expand to a third tier; Senior Ambassadors.

‍Focus Areas

Peaq encourages members of the program to contribute actively based on their unique skills and interests, fostering a diverse and collaborative environment. Here are key focus areas where you can make a meaningful impact:

Roles and Responsibilities

Contributors have some previous experience in community building, advocacy, social media, event management, design, content, business development, etc. Your time and contributions are very valuable to everyone involved in the program. As a contributor you can choose, when, where and how you contribute.

• Product Feedback & QA

The channels must run on Discord and/or Telegram and/or Twitter and should share peaq updates accurately in the relevant language to drive discussion. The channel(s) should either translate content or localize peaq’s content and encourage education and discussion. Grow the channel(s) in terms of size and engagement, and sustain the momentum. Ensure that it is moderated in line with peaq’s moderation guidelines and that your community is contributing to peaq’s community initiatives.

‍How to join the peaq Ambassador Program

How are Ambassadors chosen? Why is one person chosen over another? In order to make things as transparent and meritocratic as possible, while ensuring that community efforts are in line with peaq’s current goals and ambitions we’ll be working with an XP (points) system where you can see how much XP a given task will get you. The more XP, the higher the chance of being selected or promoted. 

Start as a Contributor

Begin your journey by applying to become a Contributor. The application form is always open. Contributors will be notified if accepted via email. Upon acceptance, contributors will have an onboarding call to understand their responsibilities, benefits, and the peaq Ambassador community. Contributors will be chosen monthly based on their applications, with limited spots available.

Quarterly Application Cycles for Ambassadors

After becoming a Contributor, set your sights on the Ambassador role. Quarterly application cycles are the gateway to this. Ambassadors are selected based on merit, considering contributions already made. Ambassadors play a pivotal role by nominating and voting on Contributors they believe should advance.

Merit-Based Contributor Promotion

Progress from Contributor to Ambassador is solely based on merit. Your contributions, dedication, and impact on the peaq ecosystem determine your advancement.

Good to know: Bi-Annual Review for Idle Ambassadors

There's a limit on the total number of Ambassadors, those who remain idle risk losing their status. Idle Ambassadors undergo a bi-annual review to ensure an active and engaged community.
