How to get involved

The EMP token is a platform-native token introduced by the Empowa Platform used to collateralize investments in affordable housing. Capital raised is secured by cash flows associated with lease-to-own tenants’ repayments, and an amount of the EMP token supplied by developers as collateral.
You can purchase some EMP tokens using MuesliSwap DEX on this page. Otherwise you can also find EMP tokens on the below decentralised exchanges:

Online Bounties
Complete online bounties and earn XP points through Zealy powered community program. Zealy describes itself as the operating system for communities. Essentially it allows us to outline actions that are useful in supporting our project and then reward our community for completing these actions. The actions typically centre around investing time in understanding our project better or supporting us in spreading the word on Empowa.
The rewards take the form of XP points which are earned by completing tasks. Different tasks carry different XP rewards which loosely reflect how valuable the task is for our project. Earned XP points will translate into eligibility to win prizes in adhoc competition we have planned throughout the year.
