- A brief token overview
- The use cases for BTRST - including governance, bid staking, and career benefits
- Token details such as max supply
- Token distribution, including all segments who have access to it and in what percentages of total supply
- Backers
Aside from this important piece, here are a few other notable pieces of content you may have missed:

- How Braintrust Talent Kelly Lamano made a virtual event during the pandemic a success!
- How Talent are running the show when it comes to hiring.
- A note from Braintrust backer Adam D’Augelli on why marketplaces will someday ALL be owned by their users (it’s nice to be a trendsetter isn’t it?).
- And Ian Lee, another Braintrust backer, shares his opinion (highly in favor of user-owned!):
👪 Community Spotlight.
It’s impossible to quantify the value of Community. But fortunately, you can quantify its growth.

Here’s a peek at the action, and some of the questions being answered there:
And a huge shoutout to Braintrust Community Leads for helping make all the new community members feel welcome, for fielding questions, and helping share the Braintrust story! A few names that deserve recognition:
🏛️ Network Infrastructure.
The Braintrust public dashboard development is nearing completion! This is the dashboard to end all dashboards. The radically transparent dashboard that redefines radical transparency. The best place for you to go and see exactly how much Braintrust is growing! The dashboard will include metrics like total network revenue, total talent, total jobs, average job compensation, average hourly rates for different role types, and so much more. NOTHING will be hidden.
Other Infrastructure projects underway:
- A new Braintrust Academy course all about token withdrawal. This course is so important it’s a prerequisite for withdrawing tokens. We’ll be announcing its availability in Discord first, so make sure you are there!
- MORE additions to the Help Center!
💻 Product Improvements.
You want to earn BTRST? But you don’t want to get hired as a freelancer? Or hire a freelancer?

👤Living Braintrust’s Values.
Two of Braintrust’s values are to be community-driven and to act like an owner. Over this past week, these values have been on display for the world to see as the community continues to run itself and create a welcoming space for learning for everyone involved.
Let’s give a shoutout to Braintrust talent Shoaib, who in anticipation of the huge influx of users and prevention of bad actors, created a security bot. Thank you, Shoaib!
🚩 Weekly challenges and red flags.
- With so many newcomers to the Braintrust community, it’s important to provide as much information as possible to help them get oriented. And when not everyone is a crypto enthusiast, providing information about the BTRST launch in an accessible way is paramount. This will continue to be a point of focus for a long while - possibly forever.
