And Why Your Team Needs Them Before You Raise a Dime?
In the world of collaborative work, we often ask the wrong first question. We ask: How much does this pay? when perhaps we should be asking: Who showed up? Who held the line? Who made it possible?
Enter TeamPoints (TPs) — not a currency, but a primitive. A simple, powerful way for teams to account for value before there's a price tag on it.
At their core, TeamPoints are an ERC-20 token used within CollabBerry to track contributions, honor accountability, and lay the foundation for future value distribution. They are non-transferable by default, which means they’re not traded on markets — they’re meant to stay within the team’s internal accounting.
But they’re not “just points.” TPs are a signal. A ledger. A record of who did what, when, and with how much care.
TPs are not themselves money. They are not wages, not equity, not IOUs. Instead, they serve as a speculative record of value: a collective agreement that certain contributions mattered.
That record becomes useful in all kinds of future scenarios:
When your project receives funding and you need to fairly split it.
When you launch a token and need to decide who gets what.
When you want to trace contribution in an open source or commons context.
When your team wants to reward reputation, not just tasks.
In short: TPs trace the cake before it's baked.
Each team on CollabBerry defines its own system for awarding TPs. Many use role-based accountability: the more you fulfill what the team expects of your role, the more TPs you earn. Think of it as accountability made visible.
Because they’re issued via a peer-reviewed process (the AAA mechanism), they carry trust. They’re not about gaming the system — they’re about showing up for your team, and being seen for it.
Too many collaborative efforts fall apart because value goes unaccounted for. When money finally shows up — a grant, a deal, a DAO vote — there's no reliable memory of who carried the load.
TPs change that. They honor contribution at the source, not at the end.
They invite teams to ask:
What do we value?
Who are we becoming together?
How can we design for fairness, even before profit?
If you're building a product, a DAO, a collective, a cooperative, or just an informal crew chasing a dream — don't wait to value each other.
Start using TeamPoints. Because contribution deserves memory.

In the early stages of a startup, one critical element that many founders struggle with is compensation.

I’ve been contributing to a handful of Web3 projects in exchange for ownership. Yet, defining how to split it has often led to frustrating negotiations and a sense of unfairness. I’ve seen contributors—and even founders—part ways after procrastinating on the ownership conversation. As a founder myself, I’ve witnessed how often ownership splits failed to reflect actual contributions, making it challenging to bring new people into meaningful roles later on. That’s why I decided to work on a mod...
