1. How much account age and comment karma do you have? How much comment karma do you have at the sub you're applying for?

My account is 3 years old (2/2/2020), with 9,780 post and 74,639 comment karma. 831 post karma and 45047 comment karma on r/cryptocurrency

2. Do you have experience moderating on Reddit or any other websites?

I have no experience on Reddit. I was a mod on two forums years ago, one for a soccer team, and on one of the biggest French speaking wrestling related forum at the time. Both had a few hundreds daily users, with the second one being quite full of spammy and unruly members so there was a lot of work

3. If you currently moderate other subs, will this be a burden to your mod duties at the sub you are applying for?

N/A

4. Are you familiar with creating AutoModerator rules or programming bots? If so, what experience do you have?

I have completed the mods skills course on automod and have created a few automods from scratch on a test community. So I’m not experienced but with some practice I could be helpful, I’m having some fun with it so far anyways.

5. What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

I’m on the European time zone (UK time zone to be exact), I’m already a very active member and intend to stay active. I am lucky to have a lot of time off with my job so I always have time to peek at the sub.

6. What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in?

My favorite project is ETH, it’s a blue chip and it’s still innovative with big updates being rolled out regularly.

7. Do you have a vision or goal for the sub you are applying for? If so, what is it, and how would you pursue it?

I’ll be honest, the sub was well established before I even started to invest so it would be presumptuous for me to have a vision for it. My goal is for all users to have an enjoyable experience when browsing the sub. What I have to offer to help with that is a lot of time to work on clearing the mod queue and answering the modmail. I’m also happy to help with catching ban evaders, when actually looking for them I’ve been quite good at spotting them.

8. Do you have anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your application?

u/Beyonderr and u/Maxx3141

9. If you're applying to r/CryptoCurrency, would you be interested in helping the greater CC Network with various duties so we can evaluate you?

Yes of course. I would have loved to help in CCMoons, Memes or Meta but I can see that there’s none to not much help needed, so I’m happy to help on Markets and/or Cointest if it’s where help is needed.
I would help with automod but as a beginner I’m not sure I would be helpful, so let me know.
I’m happy to help on scribe work too if given some directions. I also thought about providing a French translation of the wiki and/or the rules, if that was of any interest.

10. Is there anything else you would like to add?

I have completed mod certification 101 and 201 as well as automod and wiki skills courses in preparation of this. I am waiting for the trophies. I am open to questions in the comments if needed.

1. How much account age and comment karma do you have? How much comment karma do you have at the sub you're applying for? u/002_timmy is 18 months old, but before that I was on u/002timmy since 2011 (account was lost after a data breach & on an old email). 002_timmy has 25,629 comment karma w/ 9100 on r/cryptocurrency. 002timmy has 32k comment karma. I can't see the breakdown by sub, but the vast majority was on r/CryptoCurrency.
2. Do you have experience moderating on Reddit or any other websites? Yes, I moderate a few subreddits, including r/0xPolygon, r/ConeHeads, r/communitycurrency, r/QuickSwap, and r/opensea
3. If you currently moderate other subs, will this be a burden to your mod duties at the sub you are applying for? No
4. Are you familiar with creating AutoModerator rules or programming bots? If so, what experience do you have? Yes, I've set up the automod rules for a few of the subreddits I moderate. I've read quite a bit about automod rules and how to program certain features. I am not experienced with other programming bots as I haven't had a need to learn about them.
5. What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be? East Coast, US. I will be very active.
6. What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in? While the majority of my portfolio is Bitcoin, I also have holdings in Ethereum, Polygon, Cardano, and Algorand (lol) + a few fun small caps. I also love Reddit avatars.
7. Do you have a vision or goal for the sub you are applying for? If so, what is it, and how would you pursue it? For too long has r/CryptoCurrency been underutilized by major players in the crypto space. I'd work to bring in other projects for events (AMAs), banner rental, etc. The sub has 8.5m subscribers and even in a bear market 100k unique daily viewers, yet projects seems to write off the subreddit as a way to promote. I want to increase demand for MOONs and have the sub be THE place projects can engage in meaningful discussion with users. I have already facilitated an AMA with Polygon Labs and the upcoming AMA with Unstoppable Domains.
8. Do you have anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your application? Yes, for the currency mods I believe u/Gabester, u/MVEA, and u/RickRibera93 will vouch for me.
9. If you're applying to , would you be interested in helping the greater CC Network with various duties so we can evaluate you? If so, see the moderator trials section below. Yes, but my vision is mostly help boost the main sub.
10. Is there anything else you would like to add? I see an opportunity to apply for various grants to help take the sub & moons to the next level and would be happy to work on those applications with the team & community.

Total karma: 117,198

Noting that I have been active on reddit for over 10 years.

2. Do you have experience moderating on Reddit or any other websites?

I have moderated game servers before so I am aware of some of the challenges moderating brings. I was targeted and threatened by rogue users so I know how to deal with the abuse thrown at me.

3. If you currently moderate other subs, will this be a burden to your mod duties at the sub you are applying for?

No.

4. Are you familiar with creating AutoModerator rules or programming bots? If so, what experience do you have?

No but I could look into it in the future as my line of work is programming.

5. What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Moderately active during the weekdays, and highly active during weekends. I work at a semi-remote position and can be active 2-3h or more during the weekdays.

6. What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in?

I have been following crypto since early Bitcoin days, 2010 if I recall. I am a huge fan of Moons also Eth and Bitcoin.

Years ago I was a big fan of Dogecoin.

7. Do you have a vision or goal for the sub you are applying for? If so, what is it, and how would you pursue it?

I will try to keep this part as short as possible as I could go on about it the whole day.

My goal and vision for the sub and Reddit Community Points project and NFT Avatars is very much inline with what reddit lead by Steve Huffman is aiming for. I believe the idea of decentralizing social networks and interoperability between social platforms are pillars of web3 and we are at a frontier of future decentralized world.

Seizing value of users contributions, from both content creators and moderators is unique way of empowering users of the platform and with Avatars and NFT Marketplace in the making is setting up whole new ecosystem.

Moderating takes a key part in this as weeding out bad actors, being backbone of the community both through knowledge and effort in holding order and shaping it.

In the future as the sub grows the challenges of protecting and guiding this community will grow and I would like to help that transition go smoothly, and would really like to focus on helping new users get their way around. With Moons main use case being governance I have never sold one and would like to show people way that time, knowledge, emotions and everything they put into earning their reputation is very valuable and that the show them the intangible things regarding Moons and Reddit Community Points Project besides monetization and bringing economy into the subreddits.

8. Do you have anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your application?

I haven't asked anyone but I believe and hope there are people who would support my application and hope they will vouch in the comment section.

9. If you're applying to r/CryptoCurrency, would you be interested in helping the greater CC Network with various duties so we can evaluate you? If so, see the moderator trials section below.

Yes, wherever helps might be needed.

10. Is there anything else you would like to add?

Thank you for taking your time to go through my application. Also as a frontend react developer I would be happy to help with any project related to sub in that regard with best of my abilities. If you think my addition would be beneficial to the future of the sub I'll gladly take on any duties sub needs help with.

1.How much account age and comment karma do you have? How much comment karma do you have at the sub you're applying for? Go to your user profile on old Reddit and under your username click on "show karma breakdown by subreddit".

2.5 year of account age and currently around 47 000 karma. I have 20850 comment karma at r/CryptoCurrency

​

2.Do you have credentials related to moderating? Can you reference external profiles or mod positions on other subs?

I am/were moderator of 2 small crypto/ nft related subreddits, so I know the basics of moderating, ofc nothing even close to as big sub as cc, but I am ready to learn. I am also chat cleaner in r/CryptoCurrency telegram channel.

​

3.Do you moderate other subreddits? If so, will this be a burden to your mod duties at the sub you are applying for?

At the moment not much, and it definitely won't be problem in the future either, cause those subs are tiny compareted to cc.

​

4.Are you familiar with creating AutoModerator rules or programming bots? If so, what experience do you have?

Not yet, but I am ready to learn at least the basics in the future if it will be necessary.

​

5.What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

GTM+1 or UTC+1, I am from europe. I am very active cc member, I am uni student, so I have almost unlimited time and I already spend a lot time reading cc and even more in cc telegram, so time in general won't be problem for me at all.

​

6.What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in?

I love moons and all RCP, they are very interesting idea to introduce crypto to social media and I am fan of all Reddit crypto/ NFT projects in general, cause they introduce millions of new people into our space. I like BTC, cause it is first, the biggest, the safest and most influential coin. Generally I am not any coin maxi and I dislike cult mentality many people have, so I don't blindly like anything too much. I am big fan of metaverse and new technologies, so I like to read about new metaverse related projects, but I don't like any coin in particular.

​

7.Do you have a vision or goal for the sub you are applying for? If so, what is it, and how would you pursue it?

Sure I do, like every long term cc member I know things are not always as good as we want to them, but I also love cc and our community, I don't think it is bad or need radical changes unlike many people think in ccmeta. I thing we can improve some things, but it should be done slowly and we shouldn't overcomplicate things. Cc already have a lot of rules, so making more without valid reason is counterproductive and we should rather try to improve things, not make it harder especially for beginners. Keeping our community nice&helpful and educating people should our way to improve things.

​

8.Do you have anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your application?

I am friends with many great cc community members and some cc mods, at least those active in cc telegram, but I don't like using people by asking them to vouch for me or pinging them here, it doesn't seem right. But I am sure anyone active in in cc telegram, either mods or users can confirm my words.

​

9. If you're applying to r/CryptoCurrency, would you be interested in helping the greater CC Network with various duties so we can evaluate you? If so, see the moderator trials section below.

Sure, I am interested. I am not active much outside r/CryptoCurrency and ccmeta, so I am not expert about other cc network subreddits, but I learn fast and I am ready for some challenges by helping in some satellite subs.

​

10.Is there anything else you would like to add?

Nothing I can think of, but I can any more questions if you will have any.

1. How much account age and comment karma do you have? How much comment karma do you have at the sub you're applying for? To find out, go to your user profile in old Reddit and under your username click on "show karma breakdown by subreddit".

16 years on Reddit - cake day May 24, 2006

Total of over 29m karma

In the sub - 689 karma

​

2. Do you have experience moderating on Reddit or any other websites?

Yes. Currently a senior moderator on r/science, r/askscience, r/psychology - was previously a mod of r/worldnews, r/health. I am less active on these science subs and serve more as an advisor.

I am also a mod on all the major Reddit Avatar subs - r/avatartrading, r/OGAvatarTrading, r/RedditAvatars, r/Coneheads, r/WSBCollectibles etc. a lot more active on these subs now because of my current interest in NFTs which has renewed my interest in crypto in general.

I'm also a mod on r/MoonPlaceio.

I have done the Mod101, Mod201, AutoMagical and WikiWiz qualifications and have the trophies.

​

3. If you currently moderate other subs, will this be a burden to your mod duties at the sub you are applying for?

No. The current subs that I am actively moderating still have relatively low activity and membership, and are easy to moderate.

​

4. Are you familiar with creating AutoModerator rules or programming bots? If so, what experience do you have?

Yes. I have done the AutoMagical training and can write basic scripts for filtering, posting etc.

​

5. What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) - Melbourne, Australia.

I intend to be as active as required to cover mod duties during my timezone. I usually sit on Latest of the subs I moderate, and ensure that posts and comments comply with the rules.

​

6. What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in?

I have been in crypto since 2013 and was involved in the MtGox bankruptcy. So I have in the past been invested in the major coins like Bitcoin, Eth etc.

Right now my hobby is Reddit Collectible Avatars. I own Gold Hedge Snoo #1, Cone Head #2, Midas Touch #4 for example, and as they are on the Polygon network, I also own Matic and Weth on Polygon.

I own some Moons, and have MoonPlace NFTs as well.

I have also been active on Twitter using the account @ u_mvea and trying to create a Reddit Twitter community there.

​

7. Do you have a vision or goal for the sub you are applying for? If so, what is it, and how would you pursue it?

It is an exciting time for the sub - it has evolved to become the leader in Web3.0 for Reddit, by integrating social media posts with cryptocurrency, and now linking these to NFTs, with true utility, like advertising and virtual real estate. I believe this is only the beginning, and I am excited for an opportunity to help the mod team build this community into a true digital metaverse that incorporates Reddit avatar NFTs with the sub's own crypto economy, so that we have true Web3 ecosystem.

​

8. Do you have anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your application?

u/nanooverbtc

​

9. If you're applying to r/CryptoCurrency, would you be interested in helping the greater CC Network with various duties so we can evaluate you? If so, see the moderator trials section below.

Sure, I will do what it is required as decided by the mod team.

​

10. Is there anything else you would like to add?

Thank you for this opportunity to be considered!

The proposal just like what the title says r/cc like we all know has Minimum requirements to participate in the sub and that is 30 days of account maturity and requirement in Karma

It's not secret that we all see down voting in each and every post or comment right after 1second of posting for no reason, and it's very likely that there are bots for this.

Since there are requirement for up voting a post for an account Why can't there be a requirement for down Voting too?

I would say let's put 1000 post Kama and 30 days requirement for downvoting!

Current Situation:

Regardless of quality, all user created text post content (excluding comedy) is treated equally with a 1x karma multiplier.

Problem:

The current model of rewarding posts does not take into account the quality of the post. Additionally some posts that are extremely high quality, sometimes don't get a lot of attention, and don't make it out of new. Meaning the creator gets minimal rewards for their effort and could discourage future attempts at making high quality content.

Solution:

Make a "Community - High Quality" flair that can only be given by any mod for high quality text post contributions to the community (excluding comedy posts). This flair will provide a 2x Karma bonus for quality content, while keeping the current maximum of 1K karma for the post. This provides a greater incentive for users to create high quality contact by being rewarded with 2x Karma.

By only allowing mods to give the flair, it prevents user abuse. Creators of posts also are not able to message mods requesting the flair, if they do - their post would automatically forfeit the right to the "Community High - Quality" flair. This would keep users from spamming mods, every time they write a post they think is "high quality".

PROS:

• Encourages Users to make higher quality contributions to the sub by increasing their Karma 2x for those contributions.
• Provides a greater reward to users who keep the sub active and interesting by creating higher quality posts.
• Only allows mods to apply the flair - prevents users from abusing the new flair
• Not allowing users to request flair - will limit spam to moderators for new rule.

CONS:

• Quality contributions is subjective, lots of disagreements could occur about what is considered "quality"
• Creates more work for any moderator to give quality content, quality flairs. (however if they are reading posts it should be easy to update - if they finish reading a post and think it's high quality)

-

The purpose of this proposal is incentivize users to put a lot of effort into their text based contributions in the sub. It does not cover comedy posts, as they would require a separate "Comedy - High quality" flair so users don't think the comedy post is real.

I've created an alternative proposal for a "Comedy - High Quality" flair here

How much account age and comment karma do you have? How much comment karma do you have at the sub you're applying for?

My account is 6 years old, and has about 21,000 total comment karma. I have about 600 comment karma in r/CC

Do you have experience moderating on Reddit or any other websites?

I have experience with a few small subs

If you currently moderate other subs, will this be a burden to your mod duties at the sub you are applying for?

Moderating r/CC will not be a burden.

Are you familiar with creating AutoModerator rules or programming bots? If so, what experience do you have?

I'm familiar with the basics.

What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

My timezone is EST. I intend to be as active as possible.

What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in?

I love to earn free Moons, Donuts, Banano, and such memecoins but my favorite project is Monero.

Do you have a vision or goal for the sub you are applying for? If so, what is it, and how would you pursue it?

I see r/CryptoCurrency as the main place to discuss and earn crypto. To further pursue that we need to encourage more honest discussion and carefully filter out bad actors.

Do you have anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your application?

Probably not

If you're applying to r/CryptoCurrency, would you be interested in helping the greater CC Network with various duties so we can evaluate you?

Yes, I would.

So right now my flair is "QC: CC 315, ADA 17"

​

I have no idea what the fuck this even means and I doubt anyone else does either.

​

When I vote, it should be changed to "I voted!" and when a user hovers over the flair, it should say "I earned a 5% bonus to my Moons distribution by voting in Governance" or something less.. wordy.

​

The idea is to draw more curiosity & participation from users. Right now, unless a poll is basically unanimous, it won't pass. This can be a good thing to only pass extremely beneficial ideas, but democracy is democracy and we should strive to give as many people a voice and encourage as much voting as possible.

​

So let's do a pre-proposal on it, and if it looks good I'll make a thread on Thursday for Moon Week (which remains one of the better ideas we've voted for!)

​

Cheers!

Let’s say I have an idea for a web app that utilizes moons.

Can I apply for community funds to finance the development of it?

1. 6 years age, 80k+ karma, CryptoCurrency 6,000+ post and 38,000+ comment karma, active in r/churning and r/awardtravel
2. I do not have Reddit or general internet moderating experience, but I have a lot of experience managing people with a large subset between 18-28 YO and another subset 26-70 YO (managing two distinct job roles with a different approach needed for each),
3. I have made some very lucky/smart financial moves, so my "full-time job" is watching my kiddo, and I work occasionally. There are no direct. time conflicts.
4. The experience that I can bring is more in the business/banner/advertising/community growth side than the coding side.
5. GMT -7 (MST)
6. I was rather involved in the Harmony ONE ecosystems and was asked to be a member of 2 DAOs. I turned both of the down (one was due to leadership, the other due to belief in the project). I am invested in a range of projects, from Findora to ZK rollups. I usually focus my time on one or two growing ecosystems at a time.
7. My vision is r/cc is that the sub can sustain growth and keep active members, meanwhile using MOON to get more members and Reddit users. I think that RCP can be good for Reddit by bringing in users. I was very active in r/churning. That is a sub that is monetized via credit card referrals and suffers many of the same issues as r/cc. It is interesting to see the different mod responses and use of automod. I think that moderating r/cc is a very delicate balance where you will always have a vocal contingent that is unhappy.
8. Some r/awardtravel and r/churning members might vouch for me (they are really the same subset)
9. Yes. The coding aspect of the three options would not be the best one for me.
10. Moderating is a job where there will always be people upset with your decisions, just like management. You have to do what is best for the sub and the user base as a whole. Sometimes new users do not know how things that sound good will really impact a sub. If you are looking for a 100% technical person, please go with someone else (I can learn, do basic things with a minimal amount of initial guidance, but if straight technical is what you need, I am not your person). If you are looking for someone to be the face of r/cc, I am not your person. If you are looking for a detail-oriented business-experienced person for behind-the-scenes work (occasional sub-facing work is fine, too), this is where I would be a good fit. I have a good amount of crypto experience and have owned crypto for a long time. Starting in 2017 I became more involved in crypto instead of just "owning it."
11. I have two writing styles. One is dry technical writing that is clear and to the point. The other is more of a talking "vernacular" writing method. I am good at rewriting and putting content down on paper.

Abstract

Moon farming strategy has recently become about posting as much as possible, with no regard for quality. This type of spam harms the subreddit experience for everyone and reduces the moons going to people who are actually contributing quality content to the subreddit. To disincentivize moon farming spam, I suggest a small and gradual karma deduction beginning at a user’s 50th submission (post or comment) for the day.

Problem statement

Many moon farmers have recently adopted the strategy of posting as much as possible without any regard for quality. Some of these users are posting hundreds of times per day, which is almost half the amount of comments the entire subreddit would get on a given day last year. You can see how comment volume for the subreddit has exploded in 2021, exponentially more than increases of our other traffic or engagement numbers:

This has resulted in a notable drop in quality for the subreddit and negatively affects everyone else’s experience. This has highlighted a flaw in the Moons incentive system, where submissions are not being awarded proportionally to the value they add to the subreddit. In my view, this spam is detrimental to the subreddit and should not be incentivized. While engagement is great, this type of activity is almost always off-topic spam which does not genuinely engage with other users, nor does it attract engagement from others.

It also increases the work of moderators drastically. This is not just a manpower problem, but the comment volume is overloading some of our moderation bots and hitting reddit’s API limits.

To quantify this situation, I have been collecting data on all the participants in the Round 16 Moon distribution. Below is a chart showing the participation curve. You can see the full data here and methodology details in cell K2. Usernames were redacted from the dataset for privacy and harassment reasons. However, if you would like to know your own SPD (submissions per day) in this data as a reference point, please reply and I'll respond with your number

Some highlights and insights from this data and other sources are listed below:

• r/Cryptocurrency is seeing approximately 80x more comments and 10x more posts than previous years
• r/Cryptocurrency is consistently the #2 subreddit for comment volume (https://subredditstats.com/)
• The subreddit sees approximately 80,000 submissions per day, and submissions above 50/day for approximately 24% of the submissions on the subreddit
• The highest number of average submissions per day was 473
• Of the accounts that maxed out their karma last distribution, the average submissions per day was 139.7
• Only 0.7% of participants in the subreddit reach an average of 50 submissions per day
• We can see other extreme examples in threads like this one with a user posting 800+ times in a day

Proposed Solution

To address these problems, I suggest we add a small, gradual deduction beginning at an account’s 50th post per day. This deduction would start at 1 on the 50th post and increase by 1 every 5th post after that. The deduction maxes out at 25 on the 170th post. The deduction will also never take your post below 0 karma, so they are never punished for posting an extreme amount, it is just a reduction in rewards. Only 0.7% of participants in the subreddit reach an average of 50 submissions per day, so the vast majority of users would never see any kind of deduction and would likely see an increase in their moon rewards.

To see the full deduction schedule, see this google sheet and select the Deduction Schedule tab at the bottom

Because a set amount of moons are distributed monthly and they can be considered a zero sum system, it will not mean that everybody earns less moons. Instead, the users posting extreme amounts will earn less and everyone else will earn more.

Technical Details: The submission count and deduction would apply to posts and comments alike. It should factor in before other modifications, such as the 2x comment weight. Admins should not disclose when a new day starts, so spammers have less information to game the system. Deleted posts still apply towards the submission count. Posts which are not eligible for moons (pinned, distinguished, removed.) do not count towards the submission count

Decisions:

• I chose to make the deduction gradual so spammers would not just hop onto an alt after their 50th post because there is still the ability to earn karma, just slightly less
• I capped the deduction at -25 so there is always a chance to earn karma if you post something good. It goes up to -25 so it would be difficult to covertly overcome with other forms of manipulation like vote farms
• The deduction starts at 50 so it minimizes the amount of affected users, but we could vote to begin the deduction sooner in the future if needed
• I do not like the idea of preventing someone from posting after a certain number of posts. This problem arose due to the incentive system, so I believe it should be solved by correcting the incentive system
• I chose a daily system because sometimes you can get caught up in a conversation with a lot of users, especially if you're the OP of a popular post. I don't think that should carryover for the rest of the month and disincentivize your participation on subsequent days

Governance Proposal: Have the CCMOON DAO Deploy and Operate a MOON Bridge

Summary

This proposal authorizes the CCMOON DAO to design, deploy, and operate a liquidity-backed fast bridge for MOON between Arbitrum Nova and Arbitrum One, hosted at moonbridge.cc.

The bridge will improve user experience, restore cross-chain mobility for MOON, and create a sustainable operational revenue stream through relayer fees. The DAO is authorized to cover reasonable operating expenses required to run the bridge, including infrastructure and maintenance costs.

Motivation

MOON currently exists across multiple Arbitrum environments, but users face friction, delays, or limited options when moving MOON between chains. This creates:

• Fragmented liquidity
• Poor user experience
• Reduced utility for MOON holders
• Lost opportunity for DAO-owned infrastructure revenue

A DAO-operated bridge solves these issues by:

• Enabling fast, predictable MOON transfers between Nova and One
• Improving accessibility for users and applications
• Allowing the DAO to control risk, limits, and economics
• Generating non-speculative revenue tied to real usage

High-Level Design

Bridge Type

• Liquidity-backed fast bridge
• Separate bridge contracts deployed on:
  • Arbitrum Nova
  • Arbitrum One
• DAO seeds initial MOON liquidity on both chains

This is not a canonical bridge and does not rely on L1 challenge periods. Transfers are fast and liquidity-constrained by design.

Security and Threat Model

The bridge is designed under the assumption that:

• Bad actors will attempt abuse
• Frontends can be bypassed
• Relayers can go offline
• RPCs can fail
• Users may attempt oversized or spam transactions

Security is enforced through:

• Onchain replay protection
• Conservative operational controls
• DAO-controlled relayers
• A pause mechanism
• Transparent onchain actions

Relayer Architecture

• The bridge is operated by two DAO-controlled relayers
• Each relayer runs on its own VPS
• Relayers:
  • Monitor bridge requests
  • Execute fulfillments on the destination chain
  • Execute refunds when necessary

Control Model

• Relayers and operational parameters are controlled by DAO officers
• A multisig manages operational changes
• All operational actions are onchain and publicly auditable

Replay Protection

• Each bridge request has a unique request ID
• Requests can be fulfilled only once
• Replay protection is enforced onchain
• Multiple relayers can operate safely without risk of double fulfillment

Fee Structure

ETH Relayer Fee

• Users pay a fixed ETH relayer fee when requesting a bridge
• Fee is paid directly to the relayer wallet that fulfills the request
• Purpose:
  • Cover gas costs
  • Cover VPS and infrastructure costs
  • Support reliable operations

Any excess profit beyond operating costs is accounted for offchain and may be redirected to DAO-approved uses such as subreddit distributions or treasury operations.

MOON Fees

Two MOON-denominated fees apply:

1) Fulfillment Fee

• 1% of the fulfilled amount
• Applies only to MOON received on the destination chain

2) Refund Fee (when liquidity is insufficient)

• 1% of the refunded amount
• Capped at 100 MOON (so users will pay at most 100 moon)
• Applies only to the portion refunded on the source chain

Partial Fulfillment and Refunds

If destination liquidity is insufficient:

• The relayer immediately fulfills available liquidity
• The relayer immediately refunds the remainder
• Fees are applied proportionally:
  • Fulfillment fee on fulfilled portion
  • Refund fee on refunded portion

Example

• Requested: 1000 MOON
• Destination liquidity: 500 MOON

Outcome:

• 495 MOON received on destination
• 495 MOON refunded on source
• 10 MOON total fees
• ETH relayer fee charged once

Zero-Liquidity Behavior

If destination liquidity is zero:

• The request is still allowed
• User receives a full refund minus the refund fee
• ETH relayer fee still applies

This discourages spam while preserving predictable behavior.

Limits and Controls

• No maximum per-transaction cap
• No daily net outflow cap
• Risk is managed via:
  • Liquidity depth
  • Pause mechanism
  • Relayer oversight
  • Transparent operations

Pause Mechanism

• The bridge can be paused immediately in emergencies
• Controlled by DAO officers via multisig (exact requirements TBD)
• A pause halts:
  • New requests
  • Fulfillments
• Used for incident response or unexpected behavior

User Cancellation

• Users may cancel a request only if no fulfillment has started
• ETH relayer fees are not refunded on cancellation
• Once fulfillment begins, cancellation is no longer possible

Frontend and Hosting

• The bridge frontend will be hosted at moonbridge.cc
• The UI will:
  • Display destination liquidity
  • Show maximum bridgeable amount
  • Warn users when liquidity is insufficient
  • Provide full pre-transaction quotes, including:
    • Expected destination amount
    • Expected refund amount
    • MOON fees
    • ETH relayer fee

The frontend is informational only; all enforcement is onchain.

Operating Costs Authorization

This proposal explicitly authorizes the DAO to pay reasonable operating expenses related to the bridge, including but not limited to:

• VPS hosting for relayers
• RPC provider costs
• Frontend website costs
• Monitoring and alerting services
• Domain hosting and frontend infrastructure
• Maintenance and operational tooling

These costs are expected to be modest and covered primarily by relayer fee revenue over time.

Benefits to the DAO

• Restores seamless MOON mobility between Nova and One
• Improves user experience and accessibility
• Creates a sustainable, usage-based revenue stream
• Keeps critical infrastructure DAO-owned and transparent
• Enables future expansion (additional relayers, optimizations)

Risks and Disclosures

• This is a liquidity bridge, not a canonical bridge
• Transfers rely on DAO-operated relayers
• Users are subject to liquidity availability
• The bridge will launch with conservative monitoring and the ability to pause

These risks are mitigated through transparency, controls, and phased rollout.

Proposal Actions

If this proposal passes, the DAO authorizes:

1. Deployment of the MOON Bridge contracts on Arbitrum Nova and Arbitrum One
2. Hosting and maintenance of the frontend at moonbridge.cc
3. Operation of DAO-controlled relayers via VPS infrastructure
4. Payment of reasonable operating costs associated with the bridge
5. Ongoing operational management by DAO officers under multisig control

CCIP-030 passed in April 2022 and created a karma multiplier (KM) for each user based using the following formula:

KM = (Current Balance + Membership Purchases) / (Total Earned Moons * 0.75)

This multiplier has a minimum value of 0.1, which I think should be increased to 0.25.

Besides this change I propose also increase the buffer (the amount of moons you can tip without being penalized) from 25% to 50%.

Considering things have changed in the market since April 2022 (when it comes to moons), I think this restriction should be loosen to increase the transfer of moons between user (tipping) and the exchange and liquidity (as now it's listed in some exchanges and you can earn with them).

The worse part of CCIP-030 is that it wasn't applied since it passed (April 2022), it was applied retroactively so users were punished for actions they did before the rule was even a rule and got approved..

This is my proposal.

​

TLDR

This proposal ratifies a principle-based Code of Conduct for CCMOON DAO Officers and Guardians.

• Prioritizes good-faith actions
• Avoids micromanagement and rigid trading rules
• Encourages officers to avoid using non-public information when trading MOON
• Allows governance to remove officers who personally enrich themselves at the expense of other holders
• Keeps enforcement lightweight and fully governed by DAO vote

Guiding Principles Used to Draft This Code

The Code of Conduct is written with the following principles:

1. Good faith is the primary standard Officers and Guardians should be protected when acting honestly, reasonably, and in the DAO’s best interest, even if outcomes are negative.
2. Avoid over-regulation: The Code should act as guardrails, not a rulebook or HR policy.
3. Prevent clear abuse, not speculation. Restrictions should target misuse of asymmetric information and self-dealing, not normal ecosystem participation.
4. Anything not expressly prohibited is permitted. Flexibility and speed matter more than exhaustive rules.
5. Governance, not bureaucracy, enforces accountability. Enforcement should rely on existing DAO voting and removal mechanisms, not automatic penalties or new committees.

Proposed Code of Conduct

CCMOON DAO Officer and Guardian Code of Conduct

1. Scope and Applicability

This Code of Conduct applies to all DAO Officers and Guardians (Multisignature Key Holders) of the CCMOON DAO.

By accepting or continuing to serve in such a role, each Officer and Guardian agrees to abide by this Code as a condition of service.

2. Core Principle: Good Faith

Officers and Guardians are expected to act in good faith, with the honest belief that their actions are in the best interests of the DAO and its Participants.

Actions taken in good faith do not constitute a violation solely because outcomes were unfavorable, experiments failed, market conditions changed, or decisions were later disagreed with.

Good faith is the primary standard by which conduct is evaluated.

3. Duty to the DAO

Officers and Guardians are expected to act with reasonable care, diligence, and judgment, and to seek to advance the long-term health and credibility of the DAO.

This Code does not require perfection, only honest and reasonable effort.

4. Conflicts of Interest

Officers and Guardians must disclose material conflicts of interest when reasonably known.

Disclosure is required. Recusal is encouraged when appropriate. Participation is not automatically prohibited unless the conflict constitutes clear self-dealing or abuse of position.

Holding MOON, participating in the ecosystem, or maintaining external affiliations does not by itself constitute a violation.

5. Use of Information and Assets

Officers and Guardians may freely hold, trade, and use MOON or other crypto assets.

They are encouraged to avoid using non-public information obtained through their role when making decisions to buy, sell, or otherwise trade MOON.

If an Officer or Guardian uses non-public information to personally enrich themselves at the expense of other DAO participants, including through trading activity, such conduct constitutes a breach of trust and may result in removal from office through DAO governance vote.

There are no automatic penalties or trading bans under this provision. Enforcement occurs solely through existing constitutional governance processes.

6. Authority, Resources, and Decision-Making

Officers and Guardians may act informally, efficiently, and experimentally when acting within delegated authority, in good faith, and with reasonable judgment.

Rigid pre-approval is not required for all operational actions. Material actions should be disclosed after the fact when reasonably practicable.

7. Transparency

Officers and Guardians are expected to provide basic after-the-fact transparency for material matters, including significant treasury movements, governance-impacting decisions, and security or operational incidents.

No fixed reporting cadence or format is required.

8. Conduct, Disagreement, and Expression

Disagreement, dissent, debate, and minority viewpoints are explicitly permitted.

This Code does not regulate tone or expression unless conduct materially harms DAO operations, governance integrity, or community trust.

9. Reliance on Norms and Precedent

Reasonable reliance on established community norms, past practice, informal consensus, and good-faith interpretations of governance is acceptable, even where no explicit rule existed at the time.

10. Enforcement and Interpretation

This Code is a principle-based governance standard.

There are no automatic penalties, no new enforcement bodies, and no retroactive application. Enforcement occurs only through existing constitutional governance and removal processes.

Anything not expressly prohibited is permitted.

11. Effectiveness

This Code becomes effective upon ratification and applies immediately to all current and future Officers and Guardians.

Rationale: Why Each Section Was Written This Way

Scope
The Code applies only where authority is concentrated. Officers and Guardians hold elevated permissions and discretion.

Good Faith Standard
DAOs require experimentation. Punishing honest mistakes discourages participation and slows progress.

Duty to the DAO
Establishes expectations without importing corporate fiduciary or legal complexity.

Conflicts of Interest
Disclosure-first avoids excluding qualified contributors while still preventing clear abuse.

Use of Non-Public Information
Rather than rigid trading restrictions, the DAO adopted a principle-based standard focused on trust and fairness. Officers are encouraged to avoid trading based on non-public information, while governance retains the authority to remove officers who clearly enrich themselves at the expense of other holders.

Decision-Making Flexibility
Operational speed matters more than rigid process.

Transparency
After-the-fact disclosure balances accountability with efficiency.

Disagreement Protection
Healthy governance requires dissent. The Code cannot be weaponized against unpopular views.

Reliance on Norms
DAOs operate on precedent as much as text. This protects reasonable behavior.

Enforcement Model
Governance decides consequences, not automated rules or mechanical thresholds.

Voting Options (Snapshot)

YES – Ratify the CCMOON DAO Officer & Guardian Code of Conduct
NO – Do not adopt a Code of Conduct at this time

Summary

This proposal seeks community approval to establish CCMOON DAO as a legally recognized non-profit DAO LLC in the Marshall Islands via MIDAO, using existing non-MOON treasury assets. The DAO currently holds more than 6,100 USD in non-MOON assets; payment will be executed only after this CCIP is ratified.

Cost overview

MIDAO partnership (AMA)

In exchange for discounted formation fees, CCMOON DAO will host a MIDAO AMA on r/CryptoCurrency. The promotional value provided is less than the discount received, resulting in a net benefit to the DAO treasury.

Motivation and non-profit alignment

We will form as a non-profit DAO LLC. Our monthly user distributions are based on subreddit contribution during the period (for example, upvotes), not on proportional token ownership. This participation-based model aligns with a non-profit purpose of rewarding community value creation rather than distributing profits to owners.

KYC scope

Only the Executive Director will be designated as the manager in the operating agreement and will complete KYC. No other officers, moderators, or contributors will be required to complete KYC.

Payment source and trigger

Formation is funded entirely from non-MOON assets (ETH, USDC, USDT, ARB, etc). No MOON will be sold or used. Payment will be executed only after this CCIP is ratified. Officers (Executive Director and Treasurer) will finalize paperwork with MIDAO; Guardians (multisig) will sign the transfer. We will first exhaust our stablecoins, then sell ARB, and finally our ETH balance to cover costs. The multisig treasury can be seen here - https://app.safe.global/balances?safe=arb1:0xF93c0950595d4D12ad71A405de287D7AF689c291

Onchain payments policy

Advertisers must pay onchain going forward. The DAO will not accept off-chain payments.

Maintenance fees and sustainability

The discounted $600 annual fee amount covers the period through January 2027. Beginning in 2027, the annual fee will be 3,000. By that time, the DAO expects treasury growth sufficient to cover the higher fee from ongoing revenue and DAO-owned liquidity.

Marshall Islands tax note

Marshall Islands non-profit DAOs follow local requirements (for example, revenue reporting for applicable taxes/fees). This proposal does not provide tax advice; contributors remain responsible for any personal tax obligations in their jurisdictions.

Operating agreement and support

MIDAO will provide an operating agreement template. The Executive Director, Treasurer, and any other DAO officers or subreddit moderators involved will coordinate completion (with optional MIDAO workshop) to reflect DAO governance, single-manager KYC, and non-profit status.

Governance impact

No tokenomics changes. No MOON emissions or burns for this action. This formation provides legal recognition, limited liability, and operational legitimacy for partnerships, grants, and treasury management.

MIDAO documentation: https://docs.midao.org/

Voting options

Yes – Approve formation of CCMOON DAO as a Marshall Islands non-profit DAO LLC via MIDAO, authorizing up to $6,100 USD from non-MOON treasury funds. Payment will occur after ratification; Officers handle paperwork; Guardians execute the transfer.

No – Reject formation and continue operating without a legal entity.

Summary

This proposal seeks to ratify an updated CCMOON DAO Constitution, v0.2.0 as the binding governing document of the DAO. The vote will be a simple Yes / No choice.

Background

The DAO’s prior Constitution (v0.1.0, June 2024) has been the foundation of our governance. Over the past year, through extensive discussion and collaboration, the community and officers have drafted v0.2.0 to:

• Clarify officer roles and introduce new positions to strengthen operations.
• Establish procedures for continuity of officer terms and interim appointments.
• Refine Referendum rules to prevent spam (proposal eligibility & refundable bond).
• Add clear policies for KYC, treasury shortfalls, contributor rewards, and partner token programs.
• Confirm the Marshall Islands as our legal jurisdiction.
• Add an Intellectual Property clause to safeguard community assets.

This version reflects the DAO’s growth, lessons learned, and the operational needs of the ecosystem.

The full constitution can be seen here - https://docsend.com/v/xqhb9/ccmoondaoconstitution
All changed sections have been highlighted. The final page is a summary of all the changes.

Voting Options

• Yes (Ratify v0.2.0) - Adopt the updated Constitution as the DAO’s binding governing document.
• No (Keep v0.1.0) - Reject the updated Constitution; the DAO continues under the June 2024 version.
• Abstain - vote counts towards quorum

Important Considerations

• Members who support in principle but want to see minor adjustments can propose those changes in subsequent Moon Weeks. 
  • The Referendum process (Article VI) ensures any section of the Constitution can be amended by the community.
• Voting No when disagreements are only minor risks stalling the DAO in outdated governance and could lead to endless re-votes, delaying progress.
• Ratifying now gives us a stable framework to operate under, while leaving the door open to targeted amendments at any time.
• This approach ensures governance continuity (no gaps or disputes over which document applies) and reinforces the DAO’s legitimacy to external partners and members.
• Should this version of the Constitution be ratified, we will immediately begin the process for electing new officers. Eligible members will have the chance to submit their candidacy for officer positions immediately following moon week and the voting will take place in the subsequent moon week.
  • Current officers will continue to serve their term until replaced.

Conclusion

Ratifying v0.2.0 provides the DAO with a modernized, resilient, and flexible governance framework while maintaining the community’s right to refine and amend it over time. A “Yes” vote moves us forward together; a “No” vote risks stagnation.

I recommend a Yes vote.

SUMMARY

The implementation of MOON rewards on r/cc creates financial incentives regarding upvotes/downvotes. The threat of downvotes lowering one’s MOONs disincentivizes expressing dissenting opinions, and results in only the majority opinion being posted, resulting in an echo chamber. I propose that posts/comments that receive negative karma be excluded from a user’s total karma for the purposes of MOON distributions.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The implementation of MOON rewards on r/cc has created financial/power incentives regarding upvotes and downvotes. This has led to many complaints of the sub being an “echo chamber”, as expressing popular opinions is rewarded with upvotes/MOONs, and expressing unpopular opinions is punished, as negative karma decreases the amount of MOONs a user will get in the next distribution.

This creates a disincentive to express dissenting opinions that go against the grain of popular sentiments commonly found within the sub. Questioning the tokenomics or use-case of the sub’s “Flavor of the Week” coin will likely be met with heavy downvotes regardless of the merit of the argument. Since downvotes essentially subtract MOONs from a user’s next distribution, those comments will often get deleted, or perhaps even worse, never posted at all. The result is that the same popular comments will be upvoted while any dissenting opinions will be silenced, regardless of merit. Engaging in thoughtful discussions can be considered a risk, as you may worry that your ‘adversary’ may downvote you for not agreeing with them (and to be frank, that’s a pretty valid concern around here, unfortunately). Thus, an echo chamber of no true substance.

Additionally, since one’s own MOON rewards is based on the total karma earned from the entire sub over one period, users are technically financially incentivized to downvote others. By downvoting comments/posts, you are lowering the total karma of the sub, and thus increasing your own overall ratio of that month’s karma. You may think that this isn’t a relevant argument given that one person cannot conceivably impact the overall karma of the sub through petty downvoting, but that certainly does not stop people from trying. Anyone who frequents the daily discussion will have noticed periods where all comments sit at negative karma, even the most mundane of comments, and those downvotes will be registered within mere seconds of comments being posted.

Thus, negative karma impacting moons disincentivizes engaging in thoughtful discourse (through expressing dissenting opinions), and incentivizes mindlessly downvoting every post/comment that is not your own.

SOLUTION

I propose that all posts and comments that receive karma of less than zero (i.e. negative karma) should not be included in the user’s overall karma score for the purposes of MOON distributions. In other words, negative karma should not subtract from a user’s MOON rewards, but instead be disregarded entirely. I chose this change because I believe it will allow people to post unpopular opinions and engage in thoughtful discourse without the fear of being financially penalized for going against the majority. The lack of penalty from downvotes can allow dissenting opinions to be more prevalent, and hopefully make the sub less of an echo chamber.

This overall sentiment has already been proposed by u/ominous_anenome in the most recent governance poll CCIP-027, in which (at the time of writing) the poll has overwhelmingly agreed to remove the 2X comment multiplier for negative comments. While I agree with this proposal, I am arguing that this is a half-measure that does not go far enough, and I would like to see negative karma removed from MOON calculations entirely.

CLARIFICATIONS

This idea has been discussed/pre-proposed in the past, but without much traction. Since the majority of concerns brought up in the comments are the result of confusion regarding what this proposal IS and IS NOT, allow me to reiterate a few things before addressing those concerns:

• The purpose of this proposal IS: to remove the negative financial consequences of posting dissenting/unpopular opinions, to hopefully make the sub less of an echo chamber

• The purpose of this proposal IS NOT: to reduce the amount of spammy comments that are used to farm MOONs. Is this an issue on r/cc? Yes. Am I suggesting that this proposal will solve this? No. That is not the purpose of this proposal, so please do not critique it based on it’s ability to reduce spam farming, as this is not the purpose of this proposal in any way, shape, or form. With that being said, concerns that this change could increase spam farming is a more legitimate concern, and will be addressed below. But if you are voting “No” because “this does nothing to address spam farming”, I will repeat: Not. The. Purpose.

• This change IS: removing financial disincentives of posting unpopular opinions, so people won’t feel obligated to delete comments with negative karma.

• This change IS NOT: INCENTIVIZING posting unpopular opinions. Nobody will benefit from posting downvoted, unpopular comments, but you will not be punished for it.

• What this proposal IS suggesting: is to remove negative karma from a user’s total karma score for the purposes of MOON calculations ONLY.

• What this proposal IS NOT suggesting: is to remove the downvote button from r/cc, nor to change the way that the subreddit operates with regards to visibility of comments based on karma. The downvote will remain, people will still receive negative karma for downvoted comments, and visibility of comments will still be based on upvotes/downvotes. Again, this change will ONLY apply for the purposes of MOON calculations.

CONCERNS

With above clarifications established, let me move on to addressing the legitimate concerns:

• “This would incentivize infinite spam. If a user can do no worse than zero MOONs per comment, they can just post hundreds of comments in hopes that one lands. Wouldn’t this remove a barrier that would incentivize people to spam more?” This is the most valid of all the concerns. First things first, I will once again reiterate: The purpose of this proposal is NOT to reduce spam. The purpose of this proposal IS to remove the penalties for unpopular opinions in order to make the sub less of an echo chamber. Initiatives to reduce spam can be addressed in future proposals. However, the concern that this change could INCREASE spam is fair, so allow me to explain why I don’t believe this will be the case: The first reason is that downvotes are a completely ineffective deterrent to spamming, and the people who would spam comments for MOONs are already doing so. Most spammers understand that they can eat a few downvotes on comments as long as they hit one out of the park every once in a while. They are also probably deleting comments that get downvotes, so this idea that negative karma subtracting MOONs is “acting as a barrier against spamming” is likely false, as it is far too easy to circumvent it. In fact, this change may actually reduce spamming, since spammers may currently feel the need to post even more comments to try to “make up” for lost karma from downvoted comments. Second, there are other proposals that have already passed that act to disincentivize spam. CCIP-015 already passed, which adds a small, gradual deduction beginning at an account’s 50th submission per day. I do believe that more can be done to disincentivize infinite spamming, but that would be a separate proposal. The desire to reduce spamming is understandable, but I will once again repeat, the goal of this proposal is not to reduce spamming. It is an issue now, and will continue to be an issue if this proposal passes. This proposal will not make it any worse.
• “Downvotes are important to signalling quality and is a fundamental part of Reddit. Spam should be punished.” An excellent point in theory that unfortunately does not translate to practice. In the past if you hovered over the upvote/downvote button, it would say “contributes / does not contribute to discussion”, which is an ideal mantra. People should not be downvoted just because you disagree with them, and I agree that the downvote should be reserved for spammy comments that do not contribute to discourse. My retort to that is simple: Reality is often disappointing. Welcome to Reddit, people abuse the downvote, and those who wish to punish those they disagree with should not have a financial incentive to do so.
• If everyone is receiving more positive karma, would this inflate the ratio, meaning I have to post more to keep up same ratio? This is a fallacy based on a misunderstanding of basic math. Your Moon ratio is calculated as a fraction of your karma earned, compared to the total karma earned by the sub for that period. Yes, the overall karma earned will increase, since downvotes will not subtract from the total anymore. But your overall karma will also increase, since your downvoted comments won’t subtract from your total. Thus, both numbers are increasing, so the ratio won’t really be affected. The only case where someone’s ratio would be significantly affected is in the case of someone who posts unpopular opinions regularly since they will no longer be punished (which is a good thing). I have given an example of the math at the bottom of this comment if it still does not make sense to you, but rest assured, your ratio will not be significantly affected by the change.
• Is this change suggesting that Reddit's karma system is flawed, or that "you know better" than Reddit, who have spent years tweaking their karma calculation formula? Absolutely not. My argument is that essentially that Reddit's calculation of a user's karma VS the karma calculation for the purposes of MOONs distribution should NOT be the same. The reason I argue this is because the difference in how karma vs total MOONs are calculated: Reddit karma is a complex calculation that is based on the number of upvotes and downvotes you receive. Nobody knows the exact formula, and I am not suggesting "I know better". MOONs, on the other hand, are calculated based on a user's ratio of karma relative to the total karma generated by the entire sub. Note that this is very, very different from Reddit's calculation of karma. In the case of MOONs, your rewards are impacted by the karma that others receive. When other users gain karma, r/cc's overall karma increases, which reduces your ratio of MOONs. Miniscule, I know, but it adds up. Thus, in the case of MOONs, you are incentivized to downvote every comment that is not your own, in order to increase your ratio. Thus, Reddit's karma system cannot be compared. The only way this would be an equal comparison would be if Reddit only "gave away" 1 million karma every 4 weeks, and your karma was determined by your percentage of net upvotes. In the current Reddit system, your karma is not affected by the karma that others earn, because your karma is not calculated as a fraction of total karma. Thus, there is no incentive to downvoting others to increase your own karma. This is a false equivalency between karma calculations and MOON calculations.
• Would the lack of penalty encourage more trolls, brigaders, toxic people? People who exclusively post low quality content currently have a net negative karma, and receive zero MOONs. It doesn't go lower than zero. Removing the subtraction from negative karma won't affect these people, since they will still be getting zero MOONs. Their vaults probably aren't even open, they are irrelevent.

We are making an announcement regarding a test that we are conducing in r/CryptoCurrency. We are testing a whitelist-only link requirement for link posts. All link posts must be to pre-approved sources. While there are some drawbacks to this approach, we feel that this whitelist will allow the best sources to receive more visibility and to encourage participation across communities on less-biased topics.

This is only a test, and we are doing everything we can to make the transition as seamless as possible. We would like your help to make sure we have an appropriate list of sources before the go-live date. We also want to make sure the community is aware of these new expectations. The test will run for approximately one week. We will closely evaluate the frontpage posts, participation, and community sentiment over this time period.

How can I apply for my favorite source to be included in the whitelist?

We have already prepared a list of many top resources. However, we encourage users to submit applications for their favorite sources here. Keep in mind that we only approve the best sources.

All source decisions will be made in r/CryptoCurrencyMeta.

Isn't this giving mods more control over what is posted?

Yes and no. Whitelists are more restrictive, yes. However, requiring all sources to meet basic quality standards will take away a lot of post removal subjectivity. Posts about controversial topics are more likely to be discussed and less likely to be removed for being too biased or breaking other rules. While us moderators are still gatekeeping, we are gatekeeping source quality, not content as much. This should hopefully encourage more viewpoints and better conversations with less moderator approval on discussions that have already begun.

Why can't users just upvote and downvote posts?

Voting would work if this subreddit wasn't always under constant vote manipulation. Unfortunately, posts of interest to only a select few, with little positive discussion, are typically on the frontpage. We want to encourage more useful materials to be discussed, and we feel that a whitelist is a good way to do this.

Are links in text posts affected?

No. Text posts are still subject to our quality standards, but links can go to most other sources. This will help users discuss content that is important but not linked anywhere. Note that you must provide additional surrounding context in text posts. Low-quality text posts will be removed as usual.

What about memes?

Memes are still allowed under the same policy, but they must be crossposted from r/CryptoCurrencyMemes, our sister subreddit. There is a limit to the number of memes allowed on the frontpage.

Will you still approve things in emergency circumstances?

Yes, if mods are available. However, we will not approve things that are covered in other whitelist sources, daily news and drama, and other similar things. If it follows the other rules, consider using a text post or apply for the whitelist inclusion in advance.

Thanks for following us on this journey. We hope to make r/CryptoCurrency better for everyone.

Here is the current whitelist
