Welcome to Cohort II of the Firefly Ambassador Program!
We, as the founding team, are excited to begin this journey with you. Each of you were selected based on your creative and analytical talents, and enthusiasm for growing the adoption of decentralized protocols. In this short document, we will on-board you to the Family!
We will start by introducing the vision behind Firefly. It's always important to understand the "why" first, because all following information can easily be connected to it. Before we get to the specific "whats" about the Ambassador activities, we would like introduce the values of our community and define some ground rules that all Ambassadors are expected to follow.
Afterwards, we will describe the three levels of Ambassadorship. For now, all of you are Apprentice Ambassadors, but with a some effort and determination, achieving the full Ambassador is well within your reach. The Senior Ambassador title is a special achievement awarded to those that demonstrate leadership in advancing the Firefly vision and being an example to follow for others in the community. Any Ambassador can become a Senior Ambassador.
Finally, we will introduce the weekly Ambassador milestones.
We are very excited for you to be with us on this ride! Let's
build the future of DeFi together!
Let’s begin!
In short, the vision behind Firefly is to push the limits of DeFi through a combination of cutting-edge blockchain tech, market-leading liquidity, and ease-of-use. This blog post is a great read for understanding the big picture behind Firefly.
We invite you to join us on the journey to push the limits by making DeFi faster, less expensive, more accessible and technologically robust than ever before.
Everyone starts as an Apprentice Ambassador. Apprentice Ambassadors have mastery of the Firefly platform and demonstrate 80% mastery of the product knowledge presented in Week 0.

Firefly is building a value-driven community aligned in the mission of creating more powerful DeFi to help take it mainstream. The health of our community depends on how well we ourselves embody the behaviors and values we would like to see in others. By embracing these values we can create and sustain an environment of trust, lively inquiry, and focus on pushing the limits of open finance. Here are the four core values of the team, ambassadors, and community members:
We're collectively trying to bring Decentralized trading to a billion users, and in that we're optimistic about the future and are determined to get there.
We aim to be professional and meticulous in our approach to education, and guiding the protocol development.
We are committed to improving ourselves, our community, and the experience of all Firefly protocol users.
We strive to add value to the community, and to educate
the community about Firefly.
The health of our community depends on how well we ourselves embody the behaviors and values we would like to see in others. The motivation for these values is for the community to grow together in the same direction. By embracing these values we can create and sustain an environment of trust, lively inquiry, and focus on pushing the limits of open finance.
Firefly ambassadors need to be the exemplification of team and community values. Here are some of the things ambassadors should not do (failing to follow the guidelines will lead to a warning and then a disqualification from the program):
1. Submissions can be made in a format of your choice (memes, infographs, gifs, poetry, songs, videos and etc)!
2. All graphic content should be posted on Twitter and a link to the tweet should be submitted on the Firefly creative channel for ambassadors
3. Please add educational notes about the your creative content (eg. source notes) to provide new users context.
Submission RequirementsGraphics should be tasteful and on-brand with Firefly's themes:
