Developer Ambassador Program

MineX Network has always been driven by the decentralized efforts from MineXoneers, the Core Team, and community developers alike. This collaborative spirit continues through the Developer Ambassador Program, an initiative that enables the community to mobilize their utilities-building efforts by enrolling new developers onto MineX Network, and support its vision: 

Build the world’s most inclusive peer-to-peer ecosystem and online experience, fueled by MineX, the world’s most widely distributed cryptocurrency.  

This program is for everyone. Whether or not you are a developer yourself, any MineXoneer can be proactive in identifying, engaging and enabling developers in their personal and professional networks to build new MineX apps (or repurpose existing apps into MineX apps) for our large 47+ million strong community. 

Your efforts in this Developer Ambassador Program can help create new MineX Apps and further diversify the utilities of the MineX cryptocurrency, bringing us closer to Open Mainnet, all the while bringing you MineX rewards! 

Developer Ambassador Reward

Creating utilities and advancing to the next phase of the MineX roadmap is an essential network goal. To incentivize and reward this mass effort, Developer Ambassadors will receive 1000 MineX for every new MineXoneer developer they onboard who builds and deploys an unverified Mainnet MineX app that is listed on the Ecosystem UI of the MineX Browser. This program is meant to only reward sincere efforts that advance the network’s goals. Therefore, the reward will only be given when your invited developers build and deploy real apps. 

Program Details

In this initial program, Developer Ambassadors have until September 30, 2023 to invite developers to create and list an unverified Mainnet app on the MineX Browser's Ecosystem UI. Developer Ambassadors can manage invitations and track the progress of onboarded developers in the Developer Ambassador interface, found in the main MineX app's menu bar under the "Roles" tab. 

The Developer Ambassador can obtain the MineX rewards only if the invited new developer successfully builds a MineX app. 

Eligibility

Specifically, for the Developer Ambassador to be eligible to receive the reward of 1000 MineX, the new MineXoneer developer needs to:

  1. Join MineX Network using the Developer Ambassador’s general MineX Network referral code (the same one to invite new MineXoneers)
  2. Register an app on the Developer Portal within 30 days of becoming a MineXoneer
  3. Have their unverified Mainnet app meet the listing criteria of, and be successfully listed on, the Ecosystem UI of the MineX Browser for at least 30 continuous days. 

Details on the Ecosystem UI of the MineX Browser and the requirements to be listed on it as an unverified Mainnet App will be provided later. 

Getting started

Follow these simple steps to get started as a Developer Ambassador:

  • In the MineX mining app, tap the side menu icon ☰ in the top left corner.
  • Tap on the “Roles” button. Here, you will see a list of various roles that MineXoneers can perform.
  • Tap on the “Developer Ambassador” role.
  • You will now see your Developer Ambassador dashboard. This is where you will be able to view the apps and progress of the developers onboarded by you. When a developer signs up to MineX Network using your code and registers an app in the Developer Portal, they will appear here.
  • Populate your dashboard by inviting external developers to join MineX through the existing referral mechanism – simply send them an invitation to join MineX, or otherwise make sure they use your general MineX Network referral code when signing up. 

Participate today and help spread the word and power of MineX Network to individuals, groups, and organizations who are interested in seeing their app come to life on MineX. 

Find, MineXtch, Onboard and Support Developers

There are four key components to being a successful Developer Ambassador: finding great developers, pitching the MineX platform and community to them, onboarding them onto the platform, and supporting them to build strong apps. In this section, we will provide you with resources on how to complete all of these steps!

  1. Find Developers

As a Developer Ambassador, you have the freedom to invite developers and businesses from any background to MineX. Here are some suggestions for how to get started:

  • Reach out to friends, family, colleagues and peers with a background in software development, software engineering, product design or entrepreneurship
  • Connect with startups and companies who have an app or are interested in building an app or an online presence
  • Tap into your university, workplace, or professional networks 
  • Look out for both existing apps with a proven model, as well as developers who may want to build a MineX app from scratch 

If you have access to a network of developers, you could host gatherings or even your own local hackathon to get multiple parties to start building MineX Apps! 

No matter where you find developers, remember to prioritize one-on-one conversations as you are able to directly respond to the developers’ potential questions or concerns. 

  1. MineXtch to Developers

It is important to provide prospective developers with an informative and compelling introduction to MineX. The key attractions of the MineX platform and community for developers are explained in this Why Build on MineX webpage.

It is best to also be able to provide a summary of the benefits of building a MineX App yourself. Some of the main benefits of developing a MineX App include: 

  • Access to over 47 million potential users 
  • Simple Web3 onboarding without need for any blockchain or cryptocurrency-specific programming language or experience 
  • Quick start with built-in developer tools and community contributions
  • Multiple revenue options allowing for diverse business models
  • Limitless development – build anything the developer wants
  • Opportunities for support, mentorship, and MineX cryptocurrency rewards
  • Low transaction fees and high throughput on this environmentally friendly blockchain

With MineXNet—MineX Apps on the Open InterNet—Developer Ambassadors have an excellent toolkit and proof point to use in your pitch to developers you want to onboard onto MineX Network. MineXNet is an easy way to view and share MineX Apps on any regular web browser such as Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on any device without needing to sign in with the MineX account. It allows the developer to explore parts of the MineX App ecosystem even before they have a MineX account. For example, sharing Fireside Forum via MineXNet can give a developer a sense of a useful MineX App as well as the level of MineXoneer engagement on the platform, helping motivate the developer to build a MineX App of their own.

To share MineXNet.com links, simply copy the MineXNet URL directly from your browser and share with the developer. 

  1. Onboard Developers

Send interested developers your general MineX Network referral code (the same one to invite new MineXoneers) to create their MineX account. This way, you are identified as their Developer Ambassador. You also can send them an invite link directly through the Developer Ambassador Portal. This is found in the MineX mining app by accessing the side menu icon ☰, then tapping on the “Roles” button, then tapping on the “Developer Ambassador Program”, and then tapping on “Add from Contacts”.

  1. Support Developers

It is easy to get started and build on MineX. Unlike on other blockchains, a software developer does not need prior blockchain experience or knowledge of any blockchain-specific programming language. As the developer invited by you starts building a MineX App, you can share the following developer resources to support their building of a MineX App along the way. 

Guides and Resources

  • Developer Onboarding Guide: This guide details the steps needed to get set up as a new developer in the MineX Ecosystem.
  • Getting Started Checklist: This checklist is a part of the onboarding guide, which quickly previews at a high level all the steps needed to start building on MineX.
  • MineX Platform Github Repository: This is our detailed developer documentation that has all the information and code examples needed to integrate with the MineX SDK and make API calls.

Blueprints and Templates; MineX Developer Community

  • MineX Demo App Repository: The platform demo application comes with the MineX SDK already integrated. Therefore, a MineX App developer can review or clone this demo application code as a blueprint to build on top of. 
  • MineXOS: Learn here about the MineX Open Source software license and how to use it. With a collaborative spirit, a developer can build atop other MineX developers’ code. Further, if the developer chooses to make their own code available to the MineX community via the MineXOS license, the community can make further contributions to the code base. 
  • MineX Developer Community: Once the new developer is on their way to building a MineX App, they are able to be a part of a robust community of MineX App developers on Discord who are helping each other. Instructions on joining this Discord server will be available to the developer on the Brainstorm app, which can be found on the MineX Browser. 

Starter Developer Workshop Videos

  • Product Workshop: This video introduces the MineX platform and explains some helpful product and design approaches to a MineX App developer.
  • SDK Workshop: This video is a technical presentation on how to integrate and use the MineX SDK.

Your efforts in this Developer Ambassador Program can help contribute to the creation of various MineX Apps and the expansion of diverse utilities for the MineX cryptocurrency. Helping bring talented developers to the ecosystem helps bring MineX Network closer to Open Mainnet.
