Pick where you want to go. Every route starts with a move you can make within the hour.
Deploy Skill Pledge from your own wallet on Optimism following the guide, then verify the contract source on the block explorer so anyone can read exactly what you shipped. Save the contract address in a note; you will use it in every step below.
Sign in to your chain's builder or developer profile page with the same wallet that deployed, and add Skill Pledge's app link, contract address and repo. Airdrops are never guaranteed; the goal is a public, checkable record that you build.
Post a short build note in the Optimism builders channel: what Skill Pledge does in one line, the contract link, and one specific question. A question gives people a reason to reply and remember you.
