Solward turns real work on Solana projects — code, content, design, community, capital — into verifiable reputation that earns rewards. The settlement layer for the people who build the ecosystem.
Launchpads removed the capital barrier. The bottleneck moved to credible contribution, and nobody built the rail for it.
Ship a critical PR, design a brand, write the thread that drives a launch — none of it follows you. Your reputation lives in scattered Discord roles and screenshots.
A founder fresh off a Kickstart launch has an idea and a token, but no reliable way to find a vetted contributor, prove the work, or pay for outcomes.
Airdrops reward wallets, not work. Bounties get gamed. Grant committees move slowly. The value actually created is never priced.
Thousands of ideas launch frictionlessly. Almost none can mobilize and reward the talent that would make them real.
An open primitive at the base, a marketplace in the middle, compounding rewards on top.
An open standard for attesting work on Solana. Every merged PR, published post, design delivery, or community milestone becomes a soulbound attestation tied to your wallet — issued by projects, peers, or automated oracles, and weighted by the issuer's own reputation. The result is a portable, composable reputation graph any app can read.
Projects post outcome-based bounties escrowed in USDC or their own token. Contributors apply with their Solward reputation as their resume — no cold DMs. On delivery, work is verified, the attestation mints, and escrow releases automatically. Reputation and payment settle in the same transaction.
Projects and ecosystem funds run retroactive reward rounds that pay the highest-impact contributors — scored objectively by the graph, not a closed committee. Your public Solward profile unlocks gated bounties, better rates, allowlists, and voting weight across any project that reads it.
Token's live, no team yet. Maya funds three bounties — audit fix, launch campaign, brand kit — straight from TideFi's treasury.
→Leo's profile shows 14 verified PRs, so he's auto-approved for the gated audit bounty. He ships the fix.
→The oracle confirms the merge. Escrow releases USDC and mints a soulbound attestation — in one transaction.
→A Foundation retro round later pays Leo automatically. His proof is public. The next founder finds him instantly.
Kickstart makes ideas instantly tradable. The natural next question — who builds the idea, and how do they get paid? — is exactly what Solward answers. Every launch becomes fundable with talent, not just capital.
The reputation graph is open on-chain data. Jupiter, Drift, Superteam, hackathon organizers, and any future app can read it. Solward grows the whole ecosystem instead of fencing off a corner.
Sub-cent fees and sub-second finality make it economical to attest thousands of micro-contributions and settle micro-rewards — impossible on slower, costlier chains.
As Mastercard, Worldpay, and Western Union build on the Solana Developer Platform, verifiable contributor reputation becomes infrastructure they need too: who can they trust to build, and how is it proven?
Fair launch, builder-aligned — in the spirit of Kickstart. No presale. A meaningful allocation reserved to reward contributors retroactively.
Verifiers and issuers stake $WARD to vouch for work. Bad attestations are slashable — the graph stays honest.
Funds and projects denominate retroactive rewards in $WARD or stablecoins routed through Solward.
Holders set category weights, dispute rules, and treasury allocation across the protocol.
Top-reputation contributors and stakers unlock premium bounties and reduced fees.
Concept, brand, community, and a working demo of the proof-of-contribution standard on devnet.
Launch the Contribution Market with USDC-escrowed outcome bounties and the first GitHub + content oracles. Onboard 25 launchpad-stage projects.
Open the reputation graph as public on-chain data with a read API and SDK, so any Solana app can integrate Solward profiles.
Run the first retroactive reward round with an ecosystem partner. Ship $WARD via fair launch.
Become the default contribution and reputation layer referenced by launchpads, grant programs, and DAOs across Solana.
Every PR, post, design, and late night becomes reputation you own and rewards you earn — anywhere in the ecosystem, forever.
