Big news for you, Hackernoon reader - over the coming days, the RSK community will vote to decide on the new RSK brand direction!

The vote will be the first in a number of initiatives planned for the next year that will hand total control over to the community. The RSK logo, design, and even the name of the blockchain itself will be determined in the landmark ballot.

The vote will take place over the RSK Discord server. There are no restrictions on who can partake — you do not need to hold RBTC, RIF (or any other token); all you need is a Discord account.

Make sure you have your role assigned in Discord before voting to ensure the extra weight is counted!

If you vote before your role is assigned, you can go ahead and revote once you have your role and the correct weight will be counted:

Step 1: Submit your Discord username and RSK address through the Woobox link.


Step 2: Join the__RSK discord__ server and join the #vote and #vote-details channels. The #vote-details channel will have detailed information on each brand being voted on.


Step 3: Vote — from today, July 13th, voting will begin on Discord. If you have submitted an active RBTC address, make sure you wait until you have been assigned an RSK user role on Discord!

Vote weight details:

  • If you vote on Discord without leaving your details in Woobox, your vote will be counted as 1
  • If you leave your details in Woobox but you don’t have an active RSK address, your vote will be weighted as 2x
  • If you leave your details on Woobox and you do have an active RSK address, your vote will be counted as 3x

Voting will be open for two weeks to ensure everyone who is interested in voting gets the opportunity to do so. The final results of the vote will be published shortly after the poll closes. The winning option will become the official Rootstock brand.

The rebrand vote is your chance to have a say in the future of the network. And it is just the first step in a number of initiatives RSK will undertake over the next year to hand full control over to the community.


You can also join the recently launchedRSK Ambassador program in order to get guidance and receive rewards for taking on a more active role in the community.


For the developers out there, regularcommunity calls to discuss RSKIPs are taking place every month to coordinate and encourage the RSK dev community.

And workshops, such as the IOV labs dogfooding event, are planned all over the world to familiarize everyday people with the RSK ecosystem.
