Ecosystem Campaigns

Hi there! I’m Qinghao, a co-founder of According.Work — a platform that automatically tracks, evaluates, and rewards contributions in the open-source ecosystem. We’re excited to propose a solution for distributing SUP token rewards based on developer contributions.

Title

Season 2 ideas – Dev Contributor Rewards (via according.work leaderboard)

Project Name

Dev Contributor Rewards (via according.work leaderboard)

Project Description

  • according.work proposes a reward mechanism for open-source developers who contribute to Superfluid’s core protocol.
  • The program analyzes both retrospective and ongoing GitHub contributions, scores them via a leaderboard, and streams SUP tokens to contributors.
  • The integration encourages sustained, high-quality contributions, aligning with Season 2 goals to grow ecosystem apps and deepen developer engagement.

How does the project use Superfluid?

according.work has analyzed the 5 repos below (more to be added in the future) and provided a leaderboard of contributors based on their code quality, dev reputation, and activities to the repos

1 - GitHub - superfluid-org/protocol-monorepo: Superfluid Protocol Monorepo: the specification, implementations, peripherals and development kits.

2 - GitHub - superfluid-org/custom-supertokens: Examples for how to implement Custom Super Tokens and how to test them

3 - GitHub - superfluid-org/super-examples

4 - GitHub - superfluid-org/superfluid-sentinel

5 - GitHub - superfluid-org/superfluid-dashboard: Dashboard V2

I think the idea is good, but we need to figure out if those repos are the best ones.

Side quest idea: have it for the protocols participating on Season 2 (the reasoning is that could boost their development, increasing the value added by them)

Haha. Good point!
These projects are actually provided by Superfluid Team. We think more projects in ecosystem will be considered in next stage.

We also have a platform helping people to donate to their favorite projects contributors, it’s in beta now, would you like to have a try. https://according.work

Oh I really like this idea!

While not all of them are open source, but this would actually also work as an incentive for them to become open source.

Worth thinking for a few minutes about the possible risks in this, but overall I’d be very supportive of this!

Actually, our platform can also track private projects if permission is granted. However, it’s challenging to build public trust around evaluation results in that case.

That said, the more open things are, the better — that’s the spirit of web3.
