🎨How This Works - Structure/Roles

Transparency in roles/responsibilities/structure to ensure a smooth and clear working relationship with everyone involved in this great mission!

Structure

A positive feedback loop starting from

• Donors -> Signers-> Council -> Students -> Media -> Next Generations of donors/students

Donors

Donors are supporters of the fund that can be individuals, organizations, corporations, or communities. We welcome value aligned donors who believe in the power of education, transparency, integrity, and public goods.

• All donors will all be listed on the website with transparent donated amount

• Donors will have access to a donors-only community/group chat where we will share updates of the fund - input and discussion are welcomed and extremely valuable, though without actual hard decision-making power.

• The minimum donation will be 0.5 ETH per person/community.

Signers/Initiators/Operators

Signers are the people who initiated and designed the program. Signers will look after the multi-sig wallet where all funds are maintained, with responsibilities including but not limited to:

• Personal donation of minimum 0.5 ETH to kick off the fund and demonstrate commitment to the idea with skin in the game.

• Must help fundraise, bring in resources/connections/donations outside of their own

• Set up structure and scaffolding for the fund, decide on initial council members

• Sign off on budget and complete transaction executions on the multi-sig in a timely and responsible matter.

• Manage the multi-sig treasury assets in such as asset allocation, re-balacing, on-ramping fiat (more details in Finances)

• Responsible for the maintenance, success, longevity, relationships of the fund.

• Meet on a reasonable cadence when necessary to move things forward.

• Have a clearly defined role and area of ownership

Council/Approval Committee

Council members/committee are experts in technology and education that can be trusted to be role models, mentors, and technical advisors to the students. Desired qualities include:

• High integrity

• Value driven rather than financial/investment driven, builder mindset

• In-depth knowledge, technical understandings, or product experience.

• Experience in attending/competing in global hackathons, CTF competitions, etc.

• Experience in education, able to communicate, support, and inspire students

Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Review student applicants and select qualified students for the program

• Mentor students before and during the hackathon, such as selecting topics/tracks/tech-stack, giving presentation tips and advice.

• Drive direction and decision making of each batch's planning and support

Students

Students or team of students in Taiwan over 18 (due to legal restrictions of airlines) are welcomed to apply from any background/education/skills. Not required, but some helpful qualities may include:

• Open source or hackathon/CTF experience

• History of past or active projects to demonstrate ability to build

• Blockchain research/development experience helpful but not required

• Self-learner/Curious/Dedicated/Pro-Active/Resourceful/Team-Oriented

Flights/Hotels/Tickets will be funded by the program with receipts shared online while respecting privacy of personal information. Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Must attend the hackathon for the entire duration in person

• Must donate a portion of the winning prizes back to the fund to give back and support the next generation. The amount to give back is calculated as follows:

  • If winning amount < cost of expenses, 50% can be kept by the student, and 50% back to the treasury

  • If winning amount > cost of expenses, 80% can be kept by the student, and 20% back to the treasury

Students who complete the program can become mentors for the next batches of students. Our goal is not to train students into becoming "bounty hunters", rather want to inspire them to be long term builders in the ecosystem that values giving back, creating value, and positive impact to society.

Marketing/Community

Team that can help with marketing, student recruitment, and community building. Preferably students to also ensure the organizers of the program include students' voices and perspectives to make the best design that fits current students' needs

Responsibilities include:

• Recruit students to apply for the program

• Marketing to help more students be aware of the program's opportunities

• Create Social Media/Twitter announcements and graphics

• Handle logistics of student recruitment
