Introducing Voices of Common: Rewarding Quality Content Creators

We're evolving how we recognize and reward community members who amplify what's happening on Common.

Content Clippers is now Voices of Common - a curated, invite-only program for creators who consistently produce high-quality content about Common, our communities, and the ecosystem we're building.

Why We're Making This Change

The old Content Clippers program had good intentions, but it wasn't designed to scale effectively or prioritize our most impactful creators. What started as a group of ~15 dedicated creators grew to 81 members, with thousands of tweets to review each week. The signal-to-noise ratio deteriorated, making it difficult to recognize and reward the community's highest-quality contributions.

We saw:

  • Volume over quality becoming the norm
  • Difficulty identifying and rewarding truly impactful content
  • Diluted community standards
  • Unsustainable review processes

Voices of Common fixes this by prioritizing quality, consistency, and genuine community contribution over pure output volume.

How Voices of Common Works

Getting In

Voices of Common is invite-only and private. We're looking for community members who are already creating thoughtful content about Common, web3 communities, and the broader ecosystem.

To be considered, you need to grow your Discord Content Creator rank through the three-tier leveling system. This ensures participants understand what we're building and have proven their ability to contribute meaningfully.

Submission Process

At the end of each week, participants submit their Common-related content through a form. Our team reviews submissions and issues Aura rewards every Monday based on impact and quality.

The Leaderboard

A private leaderboard tracks the Top 10 participants based on Aura earned through the program. This leaderboard is publicly announced at the end of each month and resets for the next cycle.

Top 10 performers receive bonus Aura rewards, with payouts ranging from 100-500 Aura depending on final ranking.

Rewards Structure

Voices of Common uses a quality-over-quantity approach to rewards. Here's how it works:

Impression-Based Aura Rewards

Content is rewarded based on verified reach and impact:

  • Minimum activity: 50 Aura for 1+ content pieces with >1k impressions
  • 5k-10k impressions: 50 Aura (stackable)
  • 10k-50k impressions: 100 Aura (stackable)
  • Viral reach (>50k impressions): 300 Aura (stackable)

Weekly cap: 200 Aura maximum from impressions/content (excluding viral content rewards)

Additional Content Rewards

Beyond regular content, we reward high-impact activities:

  • Host a Twitter Space/AMA/Telegram Session with 100+ listeners: 200 Aura per event
  • Feature Common in external verified media (podcast, article, interview): 400 Aura (1x/month max)
  • Quote tweet another participant's content: Aura equal to 1% of original tweet impressions (10/month max)

Monthly Leaderboard Bonuses

At the end of each month, top performers receive additional recognition:

  • #1: 500 Aura
  • #2: 400 Aura
  • #3: 300 Aura
  • #4-5: 200 Aura each
  • #6-10: 100 Aura each

Consistency Rewards

We reward sustained contribution:

  • 4 consecutive weeks of verified content: +150 Aura bonus
  • Consistent top performers: Featured as "Voice of the Month" across channels with recognition badge

Decay mechanics keep the program active:

  • Inactive for 2 weeks: -25 Aura penalty (recurring weekly after 2 weeks)
  • Inactive for 1 month: Removed from program

Referral Rewards

Help bring quality creators into the program:

  • Refer a creator who gets accepted and publishes content with 1k+ impressions: +250 Aura (for referrer)

Non-Aura Benefits

Beyond Aura rewards, Voices of Common participants get:

  1. Official newsletter inclusion - Your content featured in Common's weekly newsletter
  2. Public Twitter List - Become a member of Common's official Voices of Common Twitter List
  3. Exclusive Discord Role - Special role with access to private channels
  4. Early access to announcements - Hear about important updates before they're public and collaborate with the team on launch strategies
  5. Monthly public recognition - Leaderboard shared across Common's official channels
  6. Onchain badge - Top 3 leaderboard participants each month receive an onchain badge

What We're Looking For

Voices of Common isn't about maximizing post volume. We're looking for creators who:

  • Understand the mission: You get what Common is building and why it matters
  • Create thoughtful content: Analysis, commentary, educational content, community highlights
  • Engage authentically: You're part of conversations, not just broadcasting
  • Stay consistent: Regular quality contributions over time
  • Support other creators: Amplify great work from others in the program

How to Get Involved

If you're already creating content about Common and want to be considered for Voices of Common:

  1. Join our Discord and start engaging in community discussions
  2. Grow your Content Creator rank by consistently contributing quality content
  3. Continue creating - we're watching for authentic, thoughtful contributions
  4. Get referred - if you know someone in the program, ask them to refer you

This isn't about chasing impressions. It's about recognizing people who genuinely care about what we're building and want to help shape the narrative around community-owned platforms.

Voices of Common is about quality, consistency, and genuine community contribution. If that's you, we want to work with you.
