Gamifying Swarm’s reputation system

Swarm is a trust-based community that connects builders to high-value projects. It builds a network of founders, designers, software engineers, product managers, and no-coders that teams up, build amazing things, and accomplish things beyond themselves.

They are community-driven visionaries who don’t accept the old systems. And they’re building the institutions, networks, and frameworks to give birth to a new way of work.

The future is peer-to-peer.

This was a Capstone design sprint project I worked on for UX+ University and Swarm. The company wanted to generate ideas for Swarm's reputation system and create a north star vision artifact of how people can earn Pollen through the community. The design sprint challenge was how to incentivize peer-to-peer exchanges of value and how can Swarm members earn reputation through the community?
