Contributors
Bread Cooperative is built by the people who use it. We are a small team and we rely on contributors with a range of skills — technical and non-technical — to keep things moving.
We are looking for people with emotional maturity, a cooperative spirit, and the ability to work autonomously. Experience in democratic or cooperative environments is a plus, but not required. If you’re new to this way of working, we recommend reading Better Work Together from the folks at Enspiral, which informs a lot of how we operate.
What we need
Section titled “What we need”We welcome contributions across development, writing, design, marketing, community building, and business development. Contributions can be continuous or one-off, paid or volunteer, depending on your situation.
If you’re a developer, our stack includes wagmi, ethers, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Solidity. Our GitHub is at https://github.com/breadchaincoop.

The core team
Section titled “The core team”The core team is the most dedicated group of contributors to Bread Cooperative’s development and community building. Core team members attend weekly standups and community calls, track tasks, and become signers in the shared treasury wallet.
Some core team members receive a monthly wage. Pay is determined through open conversations about hours, responsibilities, and available runway, and is revisited every three to six months.
Joining the core team requires having first contributed as a non-core contributor and being nominated by an existing core team member.
For full details on responsibilities, removal processes, and financial governance, see the Operational Annex.
