This proposal is seeking funds for the Galxe Contributor Program Rewards for the duration of 2024. Building upon the successes achieved in 2023, our goal is to maintain recognition and incentives for participants in the Contributor Program, known as Space Cadets. This expansion aims to foster increased engagement, community growth and education, active involvement, responsibility, and transparency within the Galxe community.
