The Invitation

The Feed erased effort. The Grid was left unfinished — fragments of a code base buried in the collapse. Whoever built it didn’t leave instructions, only proof that it could be rebuilt through action.

The Open Grid Fellowship is a selective 12-week program for experienced full-stack and open source developers. It begins inside the PlayOps ARG: daily missions in Telegram, 30–60 minutes a day, XP receipts for every proof of action. By the second month, your contributions evolve into real system builds — open validators, prototypes, and templates that define how the Grid works.

This is not a job. It’s authorship in a system that outlives résumés. XP is sweat equity. Your receipts today become your stake tomorrow.

What You’ll Do

• Enter the daily rhythm: 30–60 min Telegram missions, proof submissions, XP multipliers.
• Transition into system building: sketches → prototypes → working validators.
• Collaborate globally with players, storytellers, and builders.
• Leave behind open source templates used worldwide.

Who We’re Looking For

This track is not entry-level. It’s for builders who already ship code and contribute in the open.

• Full-stack developers comfortable moving between front-end, back-end, and data.
• Open source contributors who understand authorship + collaboration.
• Devs who can translate fragments into systems with minimal guidance.
• Problem-solvers who thrive in ambiguity and want to author infrastructure, not just features.

Why Join

• Your builds are featured in a global documentary + Roku episodic series.
• Your validators launch as open templates used worldwide.
• Every action is logged as a receipt of authorship.
• XP is sweat equity in the Grid — unlocking future token rewards.
• Build inside a living ARG where story and system are inseparable.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience in full-stack development (front-end + back-end).
• Prior contributions to open source projects.
• Strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, and one major framework (React, Node, or equivalent).
• Must have Telegram + LinkedIn accounts.
• Comfortable reading + typing in English (all text-based).
• Commit 30–60 minutes daily for 12 weeks (remote + global).

Compensation

This is a fellowship, not a salary role. You’ll leave with:

• Authorship in validators and open templates.
• A builder profile with XP, badges, and skill scores.
• Credit in the PlayOps documentary.
• XP receipts that unlock tokenized rewards later.

• The Feed manipulated trust. The Grid rebuilds it. Your code completes the fragments.
