How to join this program?

There are two cases for partners to join the program:

Integrating Bifrost Liquid Staking into your product or web app and inviting users to liquid-stake their assets with Bifrost.
Promoting Bifrost Liquid Staking in your communities, through your networks and channels.

1. Discuss in Bifrost Forum

First, clarify the goal of your partnership with Bifrost, referring to the section above "Summary", and submit your proposal in the Discussion section of the Bifrost Forum. Depending on the extent of the partnership, your proposal will be reviewed by either the Bifrost Community or the Bifrost Fellowship:

Protocol or Product Level Integrations - are primarily reviewed by the Bifrost Fellowship.
Community-level Partnerships - are mainly moderated by the Bifrost Community and put to a referendum.

Bifrost Fellowship members are Bifrost core development contributors, product contributors, and other ecosystem contributors and members.

The Discussion Proposal should be discussed in the Bifrost Forum for at least a week before the referendum is posted. More importantly, applicants should monitor the forum and provide answers to community questions and feedbacks during this discussion period.

2. Submit an OpenGov Proposal

Following the minimum 7 days discussion period and questions provided by the Community and Fellowship members, you can initiate an on-chain referendum.

FAQ

How to check my channel’s stats?

Check your channel stats on this dashboard: http://rsp.bifrost.io/

On stats dashboard, why my channel received 1,000 vDOT minting, but my effective minting is noly 800 vDOT?

Since channel’s effective minting changes base on protocol vDOT effective minting. The protocol effective minting = protocol raw vDOT minting - vDOT redeeming. Hence, effective minting changes due to the protocol effective minting changes.
