Qualified participants can submit solutions to collaborations for vote by communities. Earn Hero Points or money sponsorship rewards where applicable if your solution receives the most verified, qualifying votes
Roadmaps are a new way to solve challenges with community networks. You can host a collaboration to solve an issue and invite members of other WEN subnetworks or create your own. You can also join collaborations and earn hero points, rewards or in some cases sponsorship.
Participation rules
We’re committed to free and open engagement with the focus on solving a challenge or improving our world through community collaboration and consensus.
So obviously, please keep it civil, but above and beyond that—hosts and/or WeNetwork also reserve the right to remove any posts (and in extreme cases, WeNetwork members) that violate the following basic rules:

No masquerading, by either subjects or participants
Roadmaps and collaboration can be hosted by third parties, just as long as long as ownership is accurately identified.So, for instance, anyone can create a roadmap for JPMorgan as long as they are clear that they are not affiliated with JPMorgan, if that is the case. And no participant may falsely represent themselves as an affiliate, either.Users are required to disclose any material conflicts of interest in posts of any type.
