Earn and spend Gold & Diamonds

What resources do

Commune runs on four resources, and each one has a distinct job. Gold comes from everyday participation and powers awards, boosts, and Launchpad votes. Diamonds come with paid membership and referrals, and cover the rarer, heavier actions. Sundrops level up the groups you assign them to. Streak Freezes keep a missed day from wiping out your streak.

Gold

General currency earned through participation, spent on community actions.

Diamonds

Premium currency for paid members and exclusive awards and actions.

Sundrops

Premium resources used to nurture groups to the next level.

Streak Freezes

Protects your activity streaks if you miss a day.

Image Gold

Gold is what your day-to-day activity produces. Posting, replying, daily rewards, and referrals all pay out in Gold, with bigger actions paying more. Spending it is where it gets interesting: drop an award on a post that deserves one, boost your milestone so more builders see it, or burn it in the Launchpad to back a launch you believe in. Because Gold takes real participation to earn, spending it carries weight.

Diamonds

Diamonds are the scarce resource. You get them two ways: through our premium membership, which grants a daily claim based on your tier, and by referring members who join. Where Gold covers everyday actions, Diamonds buy the premium ones, including the rarest awards. Because the supply is limited, a Diamond spent on something is a stronger signal than any amount of Gold.

Image Sundrops

Sundrops come bundled with paid membership and do exactly one thing: nurture groups. Assign a Sundrop to any group you belong to and it counts toward that group's level, from Ground up through Grove. Higher levels unlock perks for every member, not just you, so a few committed members can lift an entire group. You can reassign a Sundrop at any time if your priorities shift.

Streak Freezes

Streak Freezes protect your streak when you miss a qualifying activity day. Use one to cover the missed day and your streak continues as if you'd never skipped. Paid tiers receive a fresh allowance each month, drawn down before any Freezes you've saved, and unused monthly Freezes don't carry over.
