DNN Bounty Program Now Open

The Decentralized News Network is inviting all interested participants to take part in the blockchain-based media company’s bounty program which will run from November 6th until the end of the public crowdsale.

The aim of the program is to provide supporters with an opportunity to secure DNN tokens in exchange for the completion of various tasks that will help the DNN on its journey toward full product release slated for 2018.

The program is split between marketing initiatives and discovering vulnerabilities in DNN’s smart contracts. These contracts can be found here.

The bounty pool will be comprised of 1 percent of the total token supply or the equivalent of 10 million DNN tokens. Half of the tokens in the bounty pool will be set aside for marketing tasks (“marketing bounty pool”), with the remaining half allocated to code specific bugs (“bug bounty pool”).

So, without further adieu, here is some additional information about the bounty categories on the marketing side:
