3MoreTHINGS (TO CLARIFY)

PLEDGES REPRESENT TRANSPARENCY

How do pledges work…?

Pledges merely represent a publicly announced agreement

made between Hackrs & Backrs

The agreement can be anything, where the only thing making it a pledge is it being public and that it can also be attached to goals

TRANSPARENCY PROVIDES ACCOUNTABILITY
