Shardeum’s Proof‑of‑Community 10k User Drive

[umair]

Shardeum has just launched its Proof-of-Community campaign, an ambitious effort to onboard 10,000 new users globally through 200 meetups across diverse regions. The initiative is led by the Super Shardian ambassador program, which empowers community members to organize local events—from informal coffee chats to structured workshops—focused on Web3 education and blockchain literacy.

The Proof-of-Community model has already seen strong traction: in 2024, Shardeum hosted over 400 events in 20 countries, reaching thousands through campus and public gatherings. Today’s campaign builds on that momentum, targeting both Web2 and Web3 audiences. Super Shardians receive rewards like onboarding kits and incentive credits as they hit milestones, fostering grassroots ownership and engagement.

Shardeum isn’t just focused on numbers; it maintains a strong emphasis on educational quality and inclusivity. Community-driven events cover everything from basic blockchain concepts to hackathon participation. Non-English content and localized meetups are a priority, as evidenced by past activity in over 50 countries and content creations in more than 30 languages.

This user-first strategy aligns with Shardeum’s broader vision: to create a scalable, community-owned blockchain that proves the viability of true decentralization through dynamic state sharding, autoscaling mainnet, and validator accessibility.
