This week + for the next five weeks, we’re giving out 250 GLM to 9 participants each week (totaling 11,000+ GLM) who meaningfully engage in our weekly prompt campaigns + follow @octant /octant on Farcaster. 

In week six, we’re giving away over 7,000 GLM to participants who stake their GLM in Octant.

This is over $6,500 in prizes! 🤯

As @octant closes out Epoch 4, this week’s prompt is to quote cast this post + highlight one of your favorite projects that participated in this epoch or nominate a project you believe should receive funding in the next epoch.

To be eligible:

- Follow @octant + join the /octant channel
- Quote cast this post with a highlight of your favorite project that participated in this Octant epoch or nominate a project you believe should receive funding in the next epoch in the /octant channel 

Winners for this week will be selected on Monday, August 5th + will receive 250 GLM each.

Stake your GLM for a chance to win a grand prize of 2,500 GLM or 1,000 GLM in week six!

Giving a shout out to Praise (https://givepraise.xyz/) from the last epoch. Very few tech products are so well centered on a core concept coded in the etymology thousands of years ago. Fast forward to web3, Praise does it at the most atomic unit possible - an in-the-moment recognition of your contribution by those most impacted by it. This can unlock the Lego block for portable reputation!

Contributing to crypto-native commons with research, content, and code. Collectivist. Data geek. Urban cyclist. More at rohitmalekar.in

We moved to CoordinApe as the TEC's simplified and tightened up our operations. But Praise is a powerful tool for a non-extractive culture.

I hope we can reactivate TEC Praise again - maybe by pointing it outward to the broader token engineering community. I also think it should reward with reputation, not $.
