Joining FundLoop with a 1% revenue pledge unlocks a powerful loop of mutual benefit—but how you follow through can dramatically impact the results. This guide helps projects get the most out of their participation by focusing on sustained engagement, user validation, and ecosystem alignment.

1. Encourage Cross-App Participation

FundLoop doesn’t reward users just for logging into your app. To earn their citizen salary, users must engage with multiple participating apps each month. That means you should:

• Recommend a few value-aligned apps to your users.
• Consider forming mutual referral partnerships with them.
• Embed or link to other FundLoop projects directly in your user flows.

The more your users engage across the ecosystem, the more likely they are to return consistently—and the more they’ll earn, building trust and satisfaction with your brand.

2. Be Consistent, Not Just Loud

Monthly “drives” to onboard users can be effective, but inconsistent activity creates confusion. If users don’t see reliable payouts, they may disengage.

• Maintain a steady monthly rhythm of contributions.
• Notify your users when they’ve helped “earn the loop” that month.
• Consider using a banner or dashboard widget to remind them of their status.

Trust comes from repetition. If users know they can count on you, they’ll stick around.

3. Help Users Get Validated

Only validated users are eligible for UBI payouts. The more validated a user is, the more they can earn. Encourage your users to:

• Complete full identity verification through **Cubid**.
• Link additional credentials to raise their score (e.g., Gitcoin Passport, phone, socials).
• Use your support channels to answer questions and audit their validation status.

You can even offer small in-app incentives to help them complete the process.

4. Track and Tune Participation Fractions

As a project, you can assign each user a participation fraction between 0 and 1 based on their level of engagement. This controls how much of your 1% allocation they’re eligible to receive.

• Assign `1` to your most engaged users.
• Use partial values for lighter participation.
• Update these scores monthly, and let users know what they can do to increase them.

This not only optimizes your funds—it guides user behavior in transparent and motivating ways.

5. Focus on Repeat, Human-Centered Actions

FundLoop isn’t about gaming metrics—it’s about supporting real people doing meaningful things.

• Design your UX around light, regular participation (e.g., a weekly check-in, a share, a micro-task).
• Highlight human interactions or thoughtful contributions, not just raw clicks.
• Create rituals: monthly activities, seasonal drives, user shoutouts, community calls.

These human moments are what the loop values most.

6. Build Long-Term Loyalty

You're not just part of a funding mechanism—you’re part of a new economy. Users who see you as a reliable, purpose-aligned project are more likely to:

• Stick around for months
• Promote you to others
• Treat your product with care and respect

Treat FundLoop not as a marketing tool, but as an alignment engine—one that rewards you for investing in people.

Final Tip: The 1% is the entry price—but how you show up determines your real impact.

Build with care. Be consistent. Help your users grow. And the loop will return the favor.
