What are tots? From Scraps to Satoshi’s
TL;DR; In 1953, Ore-Ida faced a big problem: mountains of potato scraps from french fry production. Instead of seeing waste, they saw potential. Their innovation - the “Tater Tot” - turned these forgotten scraps into a household name. At Acre, we're following this spirit of transformation with Tots, Acre’s new community rewards system.
Today, we're excited to announce “tots” - the next evolution of our community rewards system.
Why Tots?
Just as Ore-Ida found new value in what others overlooked, tots creates opportunities for everyone in our community to contribute and grow. Whether you're a Bitcoin depositor earning Acre Points or an active community member earning tots, there's a place for you.
What's Different About tots?
- 📚 Learn and earn through community participation
- 🧑🤝🧑 Engage across our social platforms and Discord
- 🪩 Join special events and opportunities
Here's how our ecosystem works:
- bees: Phase one of our rewards system is evolving , Bees seeded our initial community from 6,000 to over 36,0000 members and these holders receive special recognition.
- tots: Phase two of our rewards system, with enhanced learning, contributing, and participating opportunities in our growing ecosystem
- Acre Points: Our ongoing rewards for Bitcoin depositors utilizing the Acre Dashboard, to measure your contributions to Acre.
Why not earn both? Depositors can still earn Acre Points while participating in the community to earn tots.
Choose Your Path to Growth
Bitcoin holders aren't all the same, and neither are their ways of participating in the ecosystem. Some prefer to focus quietly on compounding their Bitcoin, maintaining sovereignty while letting their assets work for them. Others thrive on active engagement, learning, and contributing to the community's knowledge base. Both paths are valuable, and both deserve recognition.
That's why we've designed two distinct but complementary systems:
- Acre Points reward those who prioritize Bitcoin sovereignty and compounding. You don't need to be active in Discord or participate in community events - your commitment to secure, sovereign Bitcoin growth is enough.
- Tots, on the other hand, recognizes those who help build our collective knowledge and strengthen our community through active participation. Whether you're sharing insights, helping others learn, or contributing to community initiatives, tots rewards those who make our ecosystem richer.
Building for Generations
We're building for the long term, focusing on long-term sustainability in addition to short-term value. Every decision we make strengthens our ecosystem's foundation and contributes to lasting growth.
We ask fundamental questions:
- How do we strengthen our ecosystem's foundation?
- How do we contribute to sustainability?
- How will this set us up for growth not just next quarter, but next decade?
Like the humble farmer, we must move with the seasons, not against them. We have to be long-term thinkers and ensure sustainability of where we're building value. Rotation rather than relying on a monoculture. While others might chase only short-term opportunities, we're focused on building systems that become more robust with each passing season.
We're focused on building infrastructure that compounds in value over time - just as healthy soil becomes more fertile with each passing season. This means thinking carefully about how each new feature or initiative contributes to the long-term health of our ecosystem.
Because ultimately, we're not just building for today's bitcoin holders - we're creating infrastructure that will serve generations to come. That's the true meaning of sustainable growth.
