Radiant Blockchain Ambassador Program

Initial Proposal

Since the launch of the Radiant Blockchain, the community has seen tremendous growth and engagement. Inspired by the success of other chains ambassador programs, the Radiant Blockchain Ambassador Program aims to elevate our community by establishing a structured, efficient, and impactful initiative.

The Ambassador Program will empower individuals across the globe to advocate for Radiant, educate others, and contribute to the growth of the ecosystem while maintaining the decentralized ethos that defines Radiant.

This proposal outlines a plan to ensure the program's success, focusing on the selection process, defining ambassador roles, and implementing a decentralized structure that aligns with the core principles of Radiant.

Application Process

To become a Radiant Ambassador, candidates must complete the following steps:
