OdeCoins are associated with an activity that is part of a challenge and are granted for general contribution to the OdeCloud knowledge base. Contributions such as posts, comments, replies, reactions and sharing will reward users with points (a.k.a OdeCoins). Earning a certain amount of OdeCoins is also a required challenge to move to a higher rank. OdeCoins can be exchanged for monetary or non-monetary rewards.
A challenge consists of one or more activities a user needs to complete to earn a gain (i.e. sum of OdeCoins earned per activity). Once a challenge has been completed for the next rank, any additional activity completed will count towards the corresponding challenge of the next higher rank. A list of challenges have to be completed in order to reach the next higher rank.
The sum of OdeCoins earned for all activities required to complete a challenge. E.g., each training event attended earns 10 coins, 5 training events are required to complete the challenge. I.e the gain of the challenge will be 50 OdeCoins. These gains are subject to change as we further develop this gamification system.
A level assigned to a user based on their activity. Rank is and will be used in various ways, such as calculating their hourly rate, helping clients to hire the best person for a project, unlocking OdeCloud benefits and promoting their profile throughout the platform, etc.
For all ranks except Legendary, users have 6 months to complete a minimum required challenges and contribution points to maintain their current level, otherwise they will move back to the prior rank. For Legendary rank, the period is 12 months.
