The Definitive Guide To PageDAO + Meta-Builders Bounty Hunting
Introduction
Users who wish to use the PageDAO + Meta-Builders Bounty Board will need to procure two things before they are able to post a bounty: A PageDAO Membership (2022) NFT on the Polygon Blockchain, and some $PAGE, on either Ethereum or Polygon.
The Membership (2022) NFT serves as a trustless permission anyone can get, but the user has a bit of skin in the game: submit content that is plagiarized or otherwise legally problematic, and the DAO can vote to burn the membership NFT you used as well as the content you minted to the PageDAO collection. This allows PageDAO to leverage Web3 Technology to scale publishing in a more open fashion than has been possible during prior eras of the written word.
The NFT Membership serves as permission which is effective to grant access to all PageDAO technologies, but which grants persistent community access over time and participation only upon the basis of repeated buy-in (financial penalty) or good behavior, allowing the DAO to experiment with permissionless publishing but without running too many legal risks around copyright and plagiarism with no recourse of action to protect itself.
Likewise, on the financial side, the $PAGE token enables users to benefit from the economic properties of a system with literature and compensation in mind. The token is purchased by Clients before Bounties can be Posted, which provides utility to the token. Additionally, the token can be used for a voice in governance, providing Writers with an opportunity to hold it to earn rewards for staking it and participating in on-chain governance proceedings to determine and shape the future of the PageDAO. The greater the volume of Bounties, the greater the buy pressure on the $PAGE token and therefore the healthier the financial ecosystem.
The FOUR Main Bounty Hunting Steps
There are FOUR main steps to Bounty Hunting for Clients and for Writers (Initial Meta-Builders Partner Content Marketing Process):
Consultation + Deposit
Bounties can be open to the public, require an application (or not!), or even be reserved for a specific party–the easy process to register one involves simply getting in touch with a PageDAO Team Member for now, but will soon be more automatic and open.
PageDAO Team Members will walk you through making a Deposit to the Project Multisig on-chain, and move forward with your project once the Deposit is received. Consultation phase begins before the Deposit is received, and can continue afterward depending upon agreement by Writer and Client and the complexity of the Article. You can find the PageDAO Discord here: https://discord.gg/GB9pvT5qAt
Drafting
The Writer will discuss the concept with the Client and Draft the Article. It will be important for Clients to have open availability to move forward with Article Bounties immediately following submission of the Bounty to facilitate a rapid start to Drafting. During Drafting, a Reviewer will be selected. Reviewers will work with Writers to ensure optimal Article quality.
Review
PageDAO Reviewers will facilitate the best possible articles on request for Content Marketing, but due to the breadth and depth of talents represented by the ~450 Official PageDAO Members active today we are seeking to begin to scale the Review Board immediately. To earn a position as a Reviewer, and a 10% commission on bounties Reviewed, simply complete twelve (12) bounties on the new Meta-Builders + PageDAO DeWork Board.
Release
Once an article has been through the Consultation & Deposit, Drafting, and Review phases, it is ready for Release to the Client. Upon Release of a Reviewed Draft Article to Client as Finished Article, Writer (90%) and Reviewer (10% commission) are paid out by Multisig Wallet Transaction.
NOTE
When in doubt, hop into the PageDAO Discord server and ASK your questions :)

This is looking promising. You've come a long way since you first spoke of NFT book publishing, when we were in Cryptowriter back in the day. I just may have to try this out.
