Community Matters
Active Community Participation
We want to start recognizing our community members in our newsletter for positive and productive activity. The most active members on the Telegram chat are ones who are asking questions, answering questions, creating Wanchain-related graphics or stickers, sharing interesting contents about Wanchain and the blockchain space.
How will it work? Every month, admins will do a poll on the chat including the names of the most active members of the month. The winner (s) will be mentioned in the newsletter + his/her most creative participation on the chat. The poll should usually have different participants, depending on the level of participation and number of active participants. Sometimes we might choose someone who has won before if (s)he continues very active.
The winner this month is Vincent Bul (@vincentbul), below is an extract of his most insightful comment, explaining why he believes in Wanchain
"I am a big supporter since day one,because I believe in the need for interoperability.
Mass adoption cannot succeed without different chains connected to each other. I See it as a highway of information that has no on or offramps...it can only travel from a to b without even knowing the existence of C and D that are on the offroad. Wanchain creates the on and offramps so that different chains can travel and coexist together. That is the need for Mass adoption and a highway to success for all crypto projects."
This time we are giving 50 WAN away as a token of our gratitude to our winner.
