The new year is upon us, and throughout crypto, it feels like a page has turned. Many disreputable characters of the last bull are gone, Ethereum is scaling, and Wall Street is jostling for access to our markets. The resilience of DeFi never fails to impress us. We are not creating something ephemeral here. We are building to last.

MISSION AND LAUNCH

Your trusty guide to minting a llama and joining the Llamas.

In addition to Badges and the Marketplace, the Llamas protocol will open the Auction House contract to the community. Although to launch a project, founder Llamas must have attester-level badges. Projects being built in the LlamasHaus will be able to launch badges and tie tokens, veNFT, or any sort of future ownership to the badge to build their core team or attract talent. Llamas users without attester-level badges will be able to participate like any normal job.

The Llamas protocol is creating and governing a permissionless jobs marketplace, where entities can post jobs for Llamas holders to complete in exchange for Badges, reputation and rewards. This coordination hub creates a talent pool of devs, creators, strategists, whitehats, biz devs, and passionate anons that DAOs and other entities can tap into whenever they need — expanding their team’s bandwidth and expertise instantly.

The Llamas is an experiment in building an on-chain reputation system to reward positive-sum actions — to spur growth, reward existing contributors, onboard a new generation, and in time build an anon workforce.

The Llamas is the social layer and cultural flywheel of the Curve ecosystem — created to be a neutral entity that on-boards, rewards and encourages coordination.
