Why are you interested in contributing to The Graph and/or web3?:

We do think you can leverage an even bigger and loyal community by recognizing and rewards your best community members with small tips in GRT (directly on discord):
For major achievements (ex. pushing new features into prod ahead of schedule), kudos for jobs well done (ex. onboarding new users) and contributions (social media activities, content creation).
