This guide walks new users through the complete LaborCoin onboarding process. Follow these steps to access the exchange, register with the DAO, and participate in governance.
LaborCoin can be installed as a mobile web app from supported browsers.
If the Install App button does not appear, open the Chrome menu and select Install App or Add to Home Screen.
iPhone users install LaborCoin manually through Safari.
LaborCoin operates on Polygon and uses Human Passport, formerly Gitcoin Passport, verification to help prevent duplicate accounts, governance abuse, and automated participation.
You will need the following:
LaborCoin supports WalletConnect as well as MetaMask and other compatible wallets.
If you already use a supported wallet, simply connect it when prompted on the Exchange, DAO, or Governance pages.
If you are new to cryptocurrency, MetaMask is a recommended wallet and provides an easy way to get started.
Your wallet allows you to interact with the LaborCoin Exchange, DAO registration system, and governance platform.
Store your recovery phrase securely. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
MetaMask is a self-custody wallet. You control your own funds and recovery phrase.
LaborCoin cannot recover lost recovery phrases or wallet access.
LaborCoin operates entirely on the Polygon network.
Ensure MetaMask is connected to Polygon Mainnet before attempting to use any LaborCoin feature.
LABR is purchased using POL on the Polygon network.
Before using the exchange, ensure your wallet contains sufficient POL.
POL may be purchased through supported exchanges and then transferred to your Polygon wallet.
Visit Human Passport and connect your wallet.
Human Passport allows users to build a reputation score using verification methods known as "stamps."
LaborCoin uses Passport verification to support one verified identity per participant.
If your Passport score is too low, you may need additional verification.
A score of at least 15.0 is required.
Common ways to increase your score include:
Passport requirements may evolve over time as anti-abuse protections improve.
