That’s it. You can complete as many or as few quests as you like, but remember: to enter the prize raffle, you must complete all tasks – it can be at your own pace.
The campaign is organized into four themed stages, so you learn as you go. Here’s a taste of what’s inside:
Awareness: Get on the radar
Start simple: learn what Rootstock Collective is, follow@RootstockColl on X, and introduce yourself in the community channels. Easy wins to warm up.
Learn: Understand the engine
Short explainers and quick quizzes covering the essentials: what stRIF is, how RIF staking and voting power work, and how proposals move from forum discussion to on-chain vote. You’ll come out actually understanding how a Bitcoin DAO runs.
Builder Opportunities: See what’s possible
Discover Collective Grants (milestone-based Bitcoin grants for builders), Collective Rewards (recurring, bi-weekly incentives), and the crucial role backers play in supporting projects. Whether you build or back, this is where the opportunity becomes concrete.
App Discovery: Share your take
Put it all together by sharing why Rootstock Collective matters for Bitcoin builders — your own perspective, your own voice.
You don’t need to be a developer to take part. The quests are designed for everyone, from curious newcomers to seasoned Bitcoin builders.
Bitcoin Builder Heat isn’t just a giveaway. It’s an on-ramp into an ecosystem where participation has real weight:
For builders
If you’re shipping on Bitcoin, Rootstock Collective is a launchpad: milestone-based grants, recurring Collective Rewards, community backing, and direct visibility with the people who fund the ecosystem.
For backers
If you want to earn Bitcoin rewards while shaping the ecosystem, stake RIF to receive stRIF, back the builders you believe in, and vote on the proposals that decide where capital flows.
You walk away with knowledge, a community, and a shot at the prize pool. That’s a strong summer.
