FAQ

General FAQ

What is a public good? A project that provides more value creation than extraction. See potlock.org/guidelines. Unapproved projects may appear on uncensored.potlock.org. Referrals gamify a decentralized referral network; donors can remove referrerId from the URL. Fees on pots are set by the pot owner; factory contract sets max fees (see potlock.org/changelog). We support NEAR; QF uses NEAR, direct donations support fungible tokens. Learn QF at wtfisqf.com. We have no token yet. Roadmap and designs: potlock.org/figma. nada.bot is our sybil aggregator—see nada.bot/support and docs.nada.bot. POTLOCK is a protocol and ecosystem; see potlock.org/ideas.
