To begin, users set challenges to the network. It can be anything from a food packaging design task to coming up with an innovative way to encourage children to read. The challenger creates a page, detailing all the information about the task, including the deadline and any rewards — monetary or otherwise. Then solvers post solutions and the challenger reviews them all, scoring them according to a chosen criteria. Finally, the challenger selects their favorite and pays the solver for their intellectual property rights. Payment can be anything from USD 500 to an internship or royalties.
