4.3 Collaboration Tools

A thriving blockchain ecosystem is built on active collaboration and shared knowledge. GRX Chain fosters a vibrant community of developers, validators, and users by offering clear venues for discussion, contribution, and governance.

Official channels (real-time updates & support)

• Announcements: (add your official X/Telegram/Discord links)

• Community chat: Discord / Telegram for day-to-day discussion and quick help

• Staking portal: staking.grxchain.io (delegation, validator info)

• Support: [email protected] (include screenshots, tx hashes, contract addresses)

Safety: Only trust links listed on the Official Channels page. Beware of look-alike domains and “support” DMs. No one from GRX will ever ask for seed phrases or remote access.

Developer forums & hubs

• Technical Q&A: categories for RPC, tooling, GRXswap, validators, and security

• Show & tell: share dApp launches, libraries, and tutorials for feedback

• Jobs & bounties: post open roles, grants, and community tasks (Add URLs for your forum/Discourse or GitHub Discussions.)

Open-source contribution

• Repos: (insert GitHub org + links for node, SDKs, GRXswap, tooling)

• Contribution guide: PR process, coding standards, branching model, commit conventions

• Issue templates: Bug, Feature, Docs Fix, Security (route security to email)

• License & CLA: state repo license and whether a CLA is required

Recommended workflow

1. Open an issue (proposal/bug) →

2. Discuss scope in thread/forum →

3. Draft PR with tests/docs →

4. Security review (where relevant) →

5. Merge & release notes in Changelog

Governance & proposals

• Portal: proposal.grxchain.io

• Lifecycle: Idea → RFC (forum) → On-chain proposal → Vote → Implement

• Eligibility: token-weighted voting; validator/delegator roles per Tokenomics

• Proposal template: Motivation • Spec • Security & Backwards Compatibility • Rollout • Monitoring & Revert Plan

Programs & community support

• Grants & co-marketing: small grants, liquidity support, shared AMAs, spotlight blogs

• Office hours: weekly dev office hours (publish schedule/time zone)

• Validator sync: biweekly; topics: incidents, params, performance

• Community AMA: monthly; rotate themes (DeFi, gaming, infra, grants) (Add a simple application link or form for grants/co-marketing.)

Documentation: read & contribute

• Docs site & KB: (insert URL)

• Suggest an edit: on every page (routes to Git changes or feedback form)

• Style & templates: article, API reference, tutorial templates

• Versioning: every page shows Last updated; breaking changes pre-announced where possible

Code of Conduct

• Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks

• No spam/scams: zero tolerance for phishing, impersonation, or fake airdrops

• Stay on topic: use proper channels for support vs. proposals vs. social

• Enforcement: mods may warn, mute, or remove; repeat offenses may be escalated (Link to the full Code of Conduct policy.)

Moderation escalation matrix

• Level 1 (nudge): off-topic/low-effort → reminder + move thread

• Level 2 (warning): spam/self-promo/minor harassment → warn + temp mute (24–72h)

• Level 3 (ban & report): phishing/impersonation/hate speech/doxxing → immediate ban, evidence archived, public safety notice

• Appeals: email [email protected]; reviewed within 7 days

Recognition & incentives

• Community highlights: monthly shout-outs for top answers/PRs

• Contributor badges: “Docs Helper”, “Bug Hunter”, “Ecosystem Builder”

• Grant path: link to Grants & Co-marketing; simple “apply” form

Community metrics (public dashboard)

• Health: active contributors, issue close time, PR merge time

• Growth: new wallets, contracts deployed, GRXswap unique traders

• Engagement: forum posts solved, office-hour attendance (Embed a dashboard later; list KPIs now.)

Anti-phishing checklist (pin this)

• Official domains: grxchain.io, grxscan.io, rpc.grxchain.io, grovex.io, staking.grxchain.io

• Never share seed phrases or sign unknown transactions

• Verify contract addresses on GRXscan before interacting

• Report scams to [email protected] with screenshots + links

Roles & responsibilities (at-a-glance)

• Core Team: roadmap, security, incident comms, releases

• Maintainers: review PRs, run CI, publish releases, enforce standards

• Moderators: enforce Code of Conduct, handle spam/phishing, escalate incidents

• Ambassadors (optional): meetups, translations, tutorials

• Contributors: file issues/PRs, share feedback, help peers

Contribution templates (drop into repo/Docs)

• Issue templates: Bug • Feature • Docs Fix • Security (routes to email)

• PR checklist: tests pass • lint/format • docs updated • contract verified (if applicable)

• RFC template (forum): Problem → Proposal → Alternatives → Risks → Rollout → Metrics
