As you contribute, engage, and enhance the community, you’ll ascend through ranks, each associated with higher value rewards. Your dedication won’t just be a part of your journey; it will directly shape the rewards you reap.

Unlock more than just rewards. By actively participating in our Gamification Program, you open doors to captivating work engagements. Companies and clients seeking top-tier IT consultants will recognize your commitment, setting the stage for more intriguing projects and opportunities that align with your expertise.

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.

Engagement on OdeSocial through posting valuable content provides the biggest opportunity to earn rewards. For each rank, users need to complete one challenge consisting of posting content on OdeSocial. Any post you publish or comment on someone else’s post and any user activity on those will be counted towards those challenges and you earn coins with any activity on your post.
If you delete a post or comment after you received rewards for them, we will deduct the coins you’ve received from your current Message Points Obtained challenge. Any previously completed Message Points Obtained challenges will remain intact.
Yes! We will determine your rank based on your activity since you joined, provided that the functionality to track those was available. E.g. we can only track and include events you attended AFTER we released the events functionality.

An event is counted as attended, if the user was on the list of attendees of an event scheduled through OdeSocial and they dialed in at the time of the event.

A user you invited through OdeSocial (invite link in the Network section), signs up for OdeSocial.

Your redemption period, i.e. the time you can redeem your coins for gift cards or other rewards, will start six months after you reach the “Rising Star” rank.
Our intention with this challenge is to encourage all members to share their knowledge and experience through posts, comments & responses as well as links to resources to support other consultants and help them further develop their skills.
