# Tetra Overview ## What is Tetra? ### Tetra is a global grid of humans sharing value through **offers**. ## How do offers work? You set up an offer, and Tetra helps you monetize it. An offer has: * A description of what is takes to complete * Acceptance criteria * A cost, or a payment in RA or USDC ## What do you mean a "grid" of offers? As you connect with offers, you build connections, and become a node in a global grid (network) of human-human connection. #### To make it fair We've invited everyone else to share their value and grow their network. #### To make it interesting We're holding daily competitions, activating what we call the "Attention Economy". is a blockchain-enabled attention economy web app that connects people through gamified engagement and regional governance.
