Next Steps and the Early Shannon Era

The opportunities ahead — from bounties to governance.

Next Steps and the Early Shannon Era

From here, the next steps will open as Shannon matures. The pathway is clear, even if not every piece is live yet.

Bounties

Bounties will soon return as small, well-defined tasks designed to reward creativity and effort. They’re the perfect way to take your first action, earn your first $POKT, and start building your reputation in the ecosystem.

Requests for Proposals and Grants

Grants and RFPs are in the design stage for the Shannon era. As the DAO and delegation mechanics get launched, These programs will allow contributors to propose new ideas, compete for priority projects, and take responsibility for delivering real impact.

Retroactive Funding also played a role in Pocket - we like to ensure that valuable contributions can be recognized even after the fact.

Governance

At the top of the ladder lies governance. Shannon’s tokenomics and coordination model require new governance tools, which are being developed now. Soon, community members will once again have a direct hand in debating, proposing, and voting on the decisions that define Pocket’s path forward.

Your presence already makes Pocket stronger. This section will grow to guide you through the ladder of engagement — from the first step to the highest — as it unfolds.

Pocket is a network for builders and that means more than code, the path to impact is open to everyone.
