Module 25: GoodMarket, the GoodDollar Community App (Part 2 - Features - Complete Guide)

Welcome to Module 25 of the GoodDollar Crypto Academy! In Module 24, we introduced GoodMarket — the community-powered app built by the GIMT team — and covered what it is, who built it, and how to connect your wallet. Now it is time to explore every feature in detail and learn how to make the most of this platform to maximize your G$ earning potential.

GoodMarket Features — Complete Guide

GoodMarket organizes its features into two main areas: the Dashboard (earning activities and notifications) and the Wallet tab (platform tools and multi-network management). Here is a complete breakdown of every active feature:

Quick Earnings

The Quick Earnings section on the Dashboard contains the fastest, most accessible ways to earn G$ daily:

• Daily Tasks: Complete simple social media tasks on Twitter/X or Telegram. Earn 120 G$ per cycle with a 72-hour cooldown between submissions.
• GoodSurvey: Participate in community surveys about GoodDollar. Share your experience and opinions to earn G$ rewards — while helping the team improve the ecosystem.

More Ways to Earn

The More Ways to Earn section contains community-driven activities with larger reward pools:

• Community Stories: Monthly initiative — share your GoodDollar journey on Twitter/X, tagging @gooddollarorg. Rewards reach 5,000 G$ per campaign for meaningful, inspiring stories.
• GoodChat (Discourse Tasks): Participate in community discussions around governance votes, ecosystem updates, and surveys. Active, insightful contributors receive G$ rewards.

Learn & Earn Quiz

Accessible directly from the “Learn & Earn” quick-action feature on the Dashboard, this is GoodMarket’s flagship educational option. Every other weekend (usually on Saturday), a new quiz based on a GoodDollar Academy module is published.

1. A new quiz topic is announced in the community (e.g., GoodReserve on XDC, Superfluid Airdrops).
2. Read the related Academy module for at least 5 minutes before starting — this significantly improves your score.
3. Click Learn & Earn on the Dashboard and take the quiz.
4. Earn up to 1,000 G$ based on your score. Rewards are instant.
5. Receive an Achievement Card NFT as permanent, on-chain proof of your completion.

After the quiz closes, the GIMT team publishes full participation statistics at https://goodmarket.live/overview. On average, 100–124 participants complete each weekly quiz.

Claim — Daily G$ UBI

GoodMarket allows you to claim your daily Universal Basic Income (UBI) in G$ — independently on all three supported networks (Celo, XDC, and Fuse). This is especially useful as a reliable backup when your main app experiences issues.

How GoodMarket Solves the MiniPay Gas Problem

One of GoodMarket’s most practical contributions to the ecosystem is solving a real pain point for MiniPay users: gas fees.

MiniPay does not use CELO directly as gas. Instead, it requires stablecoins (cUSD, USDT, or USDC) to pay for transactions like claiming G$ and swapping tokens. This means MiniPay users who run out of stablecoins can get completely stuck — unable to claim even their daily UBI.

GoodMarket addresses this with an automatic two-step faucet system:

1. If a MiniPay user has at least 0.01 cUSD / USDT / USDC, GoodDollar provides a ~0.3 CELO faucet — enough to cover roughly 3 days of claims.
2. After receiving CELO from GoodDollar, GoodMarket automatically adds a 0.05 cUSD faucet on top.
3. GoodMarket then shows an automatic pop-up prompting the user to convert the received CELO into cUSD — all within the app, with one tap.
4. The user taps “Convert now”, signs the transaction in their wallet, and CELO is seamlessly swapped to cUSD — ready to use as gas for future claims.

💡 Important for MiniPay users: Do not transfer the cUSD received from this swap to another wallet — it is needed as gas for your next claims. The GoodMarket gas faucet can only be requested once every 48 hours, so avoid spending or moving the CELO unnecessarily.

GoodSwap & X Swap

GoodMarket includes two dedicated swap features — one for each major network:

• GoodSwap: for the Celo Network. Swap G$, CELO, cUSD, and USDT via an integrated DEX. Especially useful for MiniPay users needing to convert CELO ↔ cUSD.
• X Swap: for the XDC Network. Swap XDC G$ and other XDC-based tokens within the XDC ecosystem.

Savings — Time-Lock Vault

The Savings feature is a trustless time-lock vault built on Celo Mainnet. Lock your G$, CELO, or cUSD for a chosen period and earn a G$ bonus when you withdraw.

• 1 day lock: +30 G$ bonus (Minimum: 1,000 G$ / 1 CELO / 1 cUSD)
• 30 days lock: +500 G$ bonus (Minimum: ~100,000 G$ equivalent)
• 180 days lock: +3,000 G$ bonus (Minimum: ~100,000 G$ equivalent)
• 330 days lock: +5,500 G$ bonus (Minimum: ~100,000 G$ equivalent)
• 365 days lock: +20,000 G$ bonus (Minimum: ~1,000,000 G$ equivalent)

💡 Note: The savings contract is trustless — rules are enforced by the smart contract itself. You always retain full control of your funds.

Bridge, P2P Trade & Virtual Card

The platform provides integrated utility options to maximize your G$ usage:

• Bridge: Move assets seamlessly between Celo, XDC, and Fuse networks without leaving the app.
• P2P Trade: Trade peer-to-peer directly with other trusted members of the global community.
• Virtual Card: Spend your accumulated G$ on online merchants via real-time integrated crypto card features.

Mobile Top-Up — Airtime & Data with G$

Through the Mobile Top-Up feature (powered by the GoodMarket × Esusu Africa partnership), community members can purchase mobile airtime and data bundles using their G$ tokens.

• Buy airtime and data directly with G$ — no conversion needed.
• Automatic refund system: if delivery fails, G$ is returned instantly.
• Currently available in: Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Phillipines, and Uganda.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of GoodMarket

1. Stay active in the community — Follow the GoodDollar Telegram groups to get notified when new quizzes, GoodChats, surveys, and Community Stories campaigns go live.
2. Read the module before the quiz — Taking 5 minutes to read the Academy module before the Learn & Earn Quiz significantly improves your score and rewards.
3. Use GoodMarket as a backup for claiming — If your main app has issues, GoodMarket supports claiming on Celo, XDC, and Fuse simultaneously.
4. Collect your Achievement Cards — Each NFT card records your learning history on-chain and may gain sale value as the ecosystem grows.
5. Security first — GoodMarket will NEVER ask for your private key or seed phrase. Only connect via your wallet’s DApp browser. Official link: https://goodmarket.live

Conclusion: The Power of a Connected Community

GoodMarket stands as a perfect testament to what can be achieved when a decentralized ecosystem empowers its community. What began as a dedicated support and moderation effort by the GIMT team has evolved into a robust multi-chain platform that enhances the daily utility of G$ worldwide.

By effectively bridging education (through this Academy), daily tasks, decentralized multi-chain mechanics, and tangible economic outlets like mobile top-ups in Africa, GoodMarket demonstrates that Universal Basic Income is not merely about receiving — it is about creating sustainable, self-reliant local economies.

“GoodMarket is your ultimate community-driven G$ companion app — built by the community, for the community, to learn, claim, and grow together.”
