The Opolis Employment Commons (the “Commons”) is excited to announce the launch of the community patronage token known as $WORK. Sign up here to start earning $WORK.

$WORK isn’t sold to the public or investors. The token serves as a unit of account for patronage and as a utility token for governance and staking inside the Commons. Hence ownership of $WORK is not simply enough, you must be a formal Commons Member to receive the full value of the token.

Commons Members are rewarded with $WORK for certain patronage activities: payroll consumption, Member referrals, and staking.

As the Commons grows Members are rewarded with new $WORK through a process called Payroll Mining. While there is no maximum cap on the total amount of $WORK that can be minted and distributed, new $WORK will only be minted once specific growth milestones are met.

During the Genesis Allocation, the Commons will mint and distribute 315,000,000 $WORK to Commons Stakeholders.

The initial Genesis allocation is split 52.4% to the Commons Community and 47.6% to the Trustee; Opolis, Inc.

Community Breakdown of $WORK

52.38% or 165,000,000 of $WORK is the Genesis Allocation that will be distributed to the Community.

Commons Treasury: 143,300,000 $WORK. (20% Vested) $WORK held in the Commons Community Treasury All $WORK held by the Community Treasury are held in a multi-sig Gnosis Safe controlled by the Stewards.

Vested Circulating Supply

There is 27.08M $WORK or 8.6% in vested, non-treasury circulating supply directly following the Genesis Distribution. Unvested $WORK will vest in real time over a 4-year period via Superfluid. Recipients will not have to claim rewards. All $WORK will automatically be deposited into the digital wallet designated in the Member Dashboard.

Genesis Launch Referral Game and $WORK Rewards

The Commons is built by communities for communities. As a result the long-term success of the project depends on activating a network effect.

To get everyone in the mood, as part of the Genesis Allocation, Members can refer New Members to earn a substantial amount of $WORK in our Genesis Referral Game.

To participate, Members make referrals of New Commons Members and earn 1000 points for a Coalition Member and 10,000 for an Employee Member who join the Commons. Accumulate the most points between April 21st and May 31st and earn a share of 1,650,000 $WORK based on the following prize distribution schedule (based on 1000 players):

While we cover the basics here, there is still a lot more to $WORK. For the complete details, read the full tokenomics paper.

To begin earning $WORK and becoming a $WORKaholic, visit Opolis.co/rewards and sign up to get started. The future of the self-sovereign worker is now and starts with your support.
