👪 Community Spotlight.
There is nothing quite as inspiring as a Talent success story. And this week, Braintrust has an incredible one to share.
Meet James Moore, an Engineer in the network who started out coding as a hobby in college. Now 30 years later, he’s still coding… but as a full-time freelancer. His favorite thing about Braintrust? The ease of finding quality, interesting work and the ability to make a real impact for the clients he works with.
On Braintrust alone, he’s made $225,000 - and counting. And thanks to our model that takes zero fees from Talent, James has kept every penny of those earnings. Check out his amazing story here.
Aside from cheering on great Talent in this network, Community has been hard at work welcoming thousands of newcomers and sharing the Braintrust story. If you’re new, here are a few great places to get caught up on all things Braintrust:
- Watch the latest Public Network Update to get a feel for what’s being built at Braintrust!
- A Braintrust Academy course on Blockchain, Crypto and Braintrust to help you get acquainted with the role of BTRST in this network
- And of course, the Braintrust Discord to connect with other talent in the network
🏛️ Network Infrastructure.
Now that BTRST is live on mainnet and listed on Coinbase, token-holders are officially in control of all the BTRST they’ve rightfully earned by helping build this network. And Infrastructure has been hard at work ensuring the process to withdraw those tokens, should you choose, is available and understandable to everyone in the network… especially if you’re not a seasoned crypto enthusiast!
Here’s a rundown of the process to withdraw your BTRST:

Aside from ensuring key functionalities for the token, Infrastructure has also been hard at work on:
- QA-ing the Braintrust public dashboard. When this goes live soon, it will be next-level transparency.
- Adding more documentation to the Help Center - big influx of new users = lots of questions!

🚩 Weekly challenges and red flags.
- There has been a massive increase in talent applications, new Discord and Telegram members, inquiries, partnership requests, etc., since the Coinbase announcement. The #1 priority for Braintrust right now is filtering through these as fast as possible - without compromising on attention to detail.
- As part of the Braintrust network's user ownership, contributors have made it possible to receive BTRST for completing actions on the platform, such as completing Braintrust Academy courses or profile submission and completion. In the last few days, Braintrust contributors have seen a rapid increase in bots attempting to compromise those token rewards. Fortunately the token deployment security protocols worked as designed and no tokens were actually stolen. Various contributing teams are working to bring all systems back online, at which point accounts and rewards will be reviewed for legitimacy. Thanks for your patience and support!
