What is CoinList Karma?

Karma is a point system that recognizes your contribution to token networks on CoinList through value-add activities (staking, lending, voting on governance proposals, trading). The greater your contribution to token networks on CoinList, the more Karma you earn. At this time, Karma helps you qualify for the Priority Queue for token sales. The Priority Queue is an invite-only queue for token sales that is significantly shorter than the main token sale queue and runs in parallel to the main queue. We’ll be adding more Karma rewards in the coming months for users with Karma.


How can I check my Karma score?

Logged-in CoinList users can find their score on the Karma page, linked from your dashboard.

How is Karma awarded?

CoinList Karma consists of two types of Karma awarded: (1) “starters” earned one-time and (2) “weekly” earned through weekly activities on CoinList. Our Karma program is evolving and as it does we will update this FAQ. CoinList may change the terms of the Karma Rewards program at any time.


CoinList Starter Karma is awarded once per milestone activity on the platform across staking, trading, lending, participation in experimental offerings (not currently open for participation), participation in validator/mining programs (not currently open for submissions), submitting a project to a CoinList hackathon (not currently open for submissions).

What can I do with Karma?

We plan to introduce a variety of rewards soon, but for now users can track their Karma on the Karma page, and eligible users with a high level of Karma can earn access to the Priority Queue on CoinList.


What is the Priority Queue?

The Priority Queue is an invite-only queue for token sales that is significantly shorter than the main token sale queue (in the low thousands compared to hundreds of thousands based on recent sales) and runs in parallel to the main queue. While Priority Queue invitees have a higher chance of securing an allocation, an allocation is not guaranteed.
