    Anyone who contributes to an idea can earn.

    • Create Ideas: Users earn a share of Solutions delivered for ideas they created.
    • Create Feature-Requests: Users earn a share of Solutions that were built on the feature-requests they added to ideas.
    • Deliver Solutions: Developers earn for developing and delivering Solutions based on the ideas+feature-requests from the community.

    How each of those works:

    Ideas: Share great ideas, and earn from them

    Who is it for:

    • End users
    • Creatives
    • Product Designers

    Users know best what they need, and when they spend their valuable time to share that information in a well written and docummented manner, it should be rewarded accordingly.

    Gone are the days of sending feedback by email, not getting any reward for your effort and, worst of all, being mostly ignored by companies.

    On Solutio: if you have a great idea for a product, you can earn a fair reward, as long as the idea is a success, of course.

    Feature-Requests: Earn for enhancing ideas with good feature-requests

    Who is it for:

    • End-users & Creatives
    • UX Product Designers
    • UI Designers

    Ideas are great, but they need refinement and documentation. That is what feature-requests are for. Feature requests go deeper into how exactly an idea should work, what features it should have, how it should look, what integrations it needs, and more.

    Documenting all that in a way that engages users to pledge, while also making sense for developers, takes a lot of work and talent, which is why on Solutio you can earn for expanding ideas with great feature requests.

    Feature requests can come in many forms:

    • simple requests/requirements for how something should work.
    • UX flows of what features should be displayed where, and in what form, to provide the best user experience.
    • UI designs bringing those UX flows to life
    • Or even innovative and creative approaches to existing problems. Think of this like sub-ideas, that enhance the main concept.

    The feature-request creator earns a % share of every pledge made to the feature-request. This is paid out at the time of delivery of the Solution that mekes use of that feature-request.

    Develop Solutions

    Who is it for:

    • Developers
    • Startups
    • Venture Caputal & Angel Investors

    Those who create and deliver the Solutions, can reap the bounties user put up for feature-requests by pledging. This is the biggest way to earn on Solutio (earn the most % of rewards) and is the main goal of the platform.

    When users pledge to ideas on Solutio, they are showing what products they want and are willing to pay for. This allows developers and companies to skip the market research and even get paid for creating products & startups users actually want. It is the safest way to invest in startups and it even helps finance the development.

    Solutio's Fee

    Solutio charges a fee on each successful idea.

    The collected fees are used for:

    • Future development of Solutio.
    • Staking rewards.
    • Investment into ideas that benefit the ICP and open-source community.
    • Engagement and participation rewards.
    • Community leader rewards (influencers, event-managers, community-managers).

    Our Goal is to charge 0.5% in fees once we reach a big enough revenue.
    In the early days, we will start at 5% to have a better chance of covering the development costs until we have enough users. We are commited to reducing that fee over time, as the revenue on Solutio Increases.
    During the SNS launch, we will set many treasury milestones. Depending on how much is invested, we could be able to drop to 0.5% right at the start, with enough in the treasury to finance the required development.

    How much each contributor earns

    Solutio will start with the following values:


    Role     Share     Of What
    Solutio's Fee     5%     Of everything, is charged first
    Idea Creator     1%     Of all pledges in the Solution
    Feature Creator     14%     All pledges to his features
    Solution Creator     80%     Of all pledges in the Solution

    In other words:

    • 80% goes to the builder who delivers the tool earns the most: 80% of all the funds.
    • 14% goes to the creator of the feature, because that is usually takes a lof of documentation and convincing. But he only gains 14% of the money that was pledged to his feature.
    • 1% goes to the creator of the idea, but he receives 1% of the pledges to every feature included in the solution.
    • 5% goes to the Solutio Platform, which will be lowered gradually until reaching the goal of 0.5% (more about this above).

    This will be tweaked during the early stages of the platform.

    A practical example:

    Link to document source

    Important to note

    • Rewards are only paid out once the Solution is deliverd and accepted. This is because users only pay for Solutions once they are delivered.
    • Only feature-requests that are included in the final Solution receive rewards. And developers have to include the Solutions to be eligible to earn the Pledges users dedicated to those Feature-Requests.
    • Idea creators receive a lower fee that feature-request creators, but earn a fee from ALL feature-requests included in the final Solution.

        Solutio is about to change the entire landscape for projects. With Solutio, it becomes super easy for Venture capitals to spot in a single view, which project or feature users want to see and can be rest assured that investing in such ideas would mean investing in what is needed. This is to put simply helping developers and investors with the safest and easiest research as to what is needed in an empirical way, cos the numbers and stats would be there for everyone to see. This couldn't have come at a better time, particularly as we await the Bull season.
