Mode Cooperators is kicking off its first clan initiative, introducing Phase 1 of the Mode Clans - The Meme Initiative. Embracing cooperation, a clan is a group of at least 3 people aiming for a common goal. You can form a clan with community members, friends, or anyone keen on participating. The max limit is 10 members per clan.
How to Create/Join a Clan:
Assemble a clan with a minimum of 3 members.
Choose a clan leader responsible for managing tasks, submitting work, and distributing rewards.
Once formed, the clan leader should fill out the registration form with the clan’s details.
Clan's Mission: Create engaging memes about Mode and share them on X. English memes are prioritized, but local language memes are accepted if they gain traction on X. Submit your best work at the end of each weekly round via the provided form.
Rewards:
1st Clan: $600
2nd Clan: $300
3rd Clan: $100
A reminder that the reward goes to the entire clan, and distribution is at your discretion.
Selection Criteria: Winners are chosen based on meme quality, likes, retweets, replies, and impressions. Avoid gaming the system; the final decision rests with the Mode team.
Other Details:
The initiative runs weekly, and tasks may change in the future.
