Missions Guide

What are Missions?

Missions are specific governance tasks that you can complete to earn points and contribute to the ecosystem. Each mission represents a valuable contribution like:

• Creating or reviewing pull requests
• Opening or commenting on issues
• Participating in governance discussions
• Contributing documentation or code
• Helping with testing and quality assurance

Every completed mission earns you points that count toward your ranking and reward allocation.

Finding Missions

There are several ways to discover missions:

Browse All Missions

Visit the Missions page to see all available missions across all epochs. You can:

• Filter by mission type (PR, Issue, Review, etc.)
• Filter by classification (Bug Fix, Feature, Documentation, etc.)
• Search by keywords or repository
• Sort by date, points, or status

Epoch-Specific Missions

Each epoch has its own missions. Navigate to an epoch's detail page to see missions specific to that governance cycle.

Real-time Updates

New missions appear automatically as they're created. Watch for the "Live Updates Active" indicator to know when you're receiving real-time data.

Mission Types

Missions are categorized by the type of contribution:

Mission Classifications

Completing Missions

To complete a mission:

1. Find a mission: Browse available missions or check epoch-specific tasks
2. Complete the work: Make the contribution on GitHub (create PR, open issue, etc.)
3. Automatic tracking: Your contribution is automatically detected and linked to the mission
4. Earn points: Once verified, points are added to your total

You don't need to manually mark missions as complete - the system tracks your GitHub activity automatically!

Mission Details

Each mission card shows important information:

• Title: Brief description of the mission
• Repository: Which GitHub repo the mission is for
• Type & Classification: Category badges
• Points: How many points you'll earn
• Status: Current state (Open, In Progress, Completed, etc.)
• Date: When the mission was created
• Author: Who created the mission

Tips for Success

• Start small: Begin with issues or documentation improvements if you're new
• Read carefully: Make sure you understand what's needed before starting
• Check epoch dates: Some missions are only valid during specific epochs
• Use filters: Find missions that match your skills and interests
• Review first: Code reviews are a great way to learn and contribute
• Stay active: Regular contributions often earn more total points than sporadic large contributions
