Vote-to-Earn on Updraft
Updraft isn't just for finding and supporting great Ideas and Solutions; it can also be used for voting. In the same way contributing to a popular Idea or Solution can earn money, contributing to a popular vote can also earn 🎁 funder rewards.
Read more about how voting works in the user guide.
Create a choice
To create a new choice for other people to vote on, create a new Idea. Next to the tags field, choose the related campaign for your choice from the dropdown. This will add the campaign’s tags to your Idea.
Support a choice
Now other people can support your choice and you can support their choices in the same way you would support any other Idea.
You can find existing choices by clicking the “Ideas with these tags” button on a campaign card on the bottom of the home screen.
We've created two important voting campaigns that will decide the future of Updraft.
Updraft Networks
On June 10, 2025, Updraft went live on a single network: Arbitrum One. We chose Arbitrum because of its decentralization, stability, security, short block times, liquidity and past commitment to public goods. It seemed like a good match since Updraft itself is a decentralized public good, but Arbitrum doesn't have to be Updraft's permanent or only home.
We want you to decide which network or networks should host the Updraft platform.
Updraft Stablecoins
Earlier this year, we launched the UPD token on Ethereum mainnet, bridged the token to Arbitrum One and put 100% of UPD in a liquidity pool paired with USDC.
In the dropdown for choosing a funding token for new Solutions, we currently show UPD as the only option (but you can paste in a token address). UPD is a good option in many cases, since its price is fairly stable and everyone on Updraft will have UPD, but we don't want it to be the only option.
We want you to decide which stablecoins will be paired with UPD in liquidity pools and featured in the Updraft app.
