The Squad Wealth Fund has a war chest of 530k NYM left over from last season. With additional staking rewards from the Delegations Program, the community will have around 1M NYM to spend on contributions by the end of the season

Join Nym for key projects this summer and get rewarded for your work. Here are the objectives, changes, missions, and grants for the League this season, which will come to a close at the end of September.

Summer Season objectives

This is a big time for the Nym community and network, and Squad work is an important part of Nym’s project in revolutionizing online privacy.

Nym is finishing up the Alpha testing phase for the upcoming NymVPN, which will have its Beta launch in August. Now’s the time to really build up and strengthen the Nym mixnet powering the world’s most private VPN.

Here are the key goals for this season of the Nym Squad League:

Advance the Alpha, boost the Beta of NymVPN
Strengthen and optimize the Nym network
Develop tools and apps on the Nym mixnet
Continue to grow the global Nym community

What’s new this season

There are a number of important changes to the Squad League this season.

**No more squad exclusives!
**All grants and missions are now available to individual Nymja and Shinobi contributors, not just Squads. See below for new grants and how you can participate.

**Let’s grow the Squad League together!
**The Squad League is opening its referral program this season. The community counts on you to onboard the next node operator, squad lead, Nymster, Nymja, and Shinobi from all around the world. At the end of the season, 50k NYM will be distributed to the top referrals.

**Doubling down on Builder Grants
**The builder grant has been under-utilized. We want to see more stuff built by the community this season. So if you have a cool idea for building or integrating an app on the Nym mixnet, make sure to put together a grant proposal!

Key missions and grants

We are counting on Nymjas, Shinobis, and their squads to continue making an impact this season in the following areas:

**Decentralized CM and moderation
**Grant amount: 15k NYM

Any contributor can apply for this grant to grow, manage, and moderate Nym community channels.

**Build with Nym SDKs
**Grant amount: up to 100k NYM

Got an app, dApp, integration, or tooling idea? Apply for a dev grant and make it happen!

**Events
**Grant amount: up to 5k NYM

Proposals are welcome to organize talks, meet-ups, NymVPN testing workshops, or simply to attend events to represent Nym.

**Squad League Show Runners
**Grant amount: 5k NYM

If you want to participate in organizing and running Nym community activities, contests, or events, this gig is for you!

These are just a few examples, there are many ways you can contribute! Check out the full mission board. If you need inspiration, see last season’s contributions on the Nym community forum.
