Hey Ethernauts!

Do you have unique insights on how to make onboarding to Ethereum effortless for newcomers? We want to hear your story! Join our "Exploring the Ether" writing competition and share your vision for an unforgettable onboarding experience that will get beginners hooked on Ethereum.

What We're Looking For

  • Main Theme: The ultimate onboarding experience to Ethereum, drawn from your own personal journey and experiences.
  • Focus: Share the best ways to integrate new users into the Ethereum ecosystem with minimal friction, based on your unique perspective.

Article Guidelines

  • Audience: Web2 users who are curious about Web3 and Ethereum. Your goal is to inspire and guide them to take their first steps into the world of Ethereum.
  • Writing Style: Keep it fun, creative, and relatable. Use clear examples, practical solutions, and engaging stories that resonate with beginners. Incorporate personal anecdotes that highlight your journey and insights.
  • Length: Max 1600 words.
  • Original Content: Your article must be fresh, unpublished, and reflective of your personal experiences.
  • Format: Post on the 2077 Collective’s territory on t2.world and share it on social media platforms like Twitter, Warpcast, LinkedIn, or wherever you connect with your community.
  • Supporting Images: Feel free to include supporting images, such as photos, graphics, memes, or any static visuals that add context or make your article more engaging.

Evaluation Criteria

  • Originality and Personal Insight: We value articles that showcase your unique perspective, rooted in personal experience. Creativity and authenticity are key.
  • Personal Touch: While you may use AI tools to assist with grammar, spelling, or clarity, the core content, ideas, and narrative should be your own. Articles that feel too generic or heavily AI-driven may lose points.
  • Authenticity Check: Be prepared to provide additional context or background information if requested by the judges to verify the authenticity of your experiences and insights.
  • Encouragement of Personal Stories: Incorporate personal anecdotes and stories about your journey with Ethereum and Web3. These real-life experiences make your article more relatable and engaging for readers.

Using Artificial Intelligence in Your Article

To ensure that your article maintains its authenticity and personal touch, here are the guidelines for using AI:

  • Personal Experience First: Your article should primarily reflect your own experiences, insights, and ideas. We want to hear your unique voice on how to make the onboarding process smoother for newcomers to Ethereum.
  • AI as a Supplementary Tool: You can use AI tools to enhance your writing—correcting grammar, improving clarity, or refining your content. However, AI should not generate the core content or ideas of your article.
  • Original Content Requirement: The structure, ideas, and conclusions of your article must be your original work. Avoid relying on AI to create significant sections of text or entire articles.
  • Disclosure of AI Usage: If you use AI tools at any point in your writing process, please include a brief note at the end of your article specifying how AI was used and what AI tool you used. Transparency is essential.
