The Playground
Premium Curated Campaigns & Strategic Initiatives
The Playground is a special zone within The Forge featuring premium campaigns funded by the CLONES Project, official partners, and governance-selected strategic initiatives. Unlike regular Factories funded by individuals, Playground campaigns receive priority placement and offer enhanced opportunities for quality contributors.
Think of it as "sponsored content" for high-value data collection — strategic campaigns that advance the ecosystem's most important objectives.

Spotlight Benefits:
Priority Placement — Featured position in Playground campaign list
Enhanced Branding — Special visual treatment and prominence indicators
Extended Visibility — Longer featured duration based on spotlight investment
Quality Association — Alignment with premium Playground campaigns
Deflationary Effect

Quality signaling through meaningful token investment
Ecosystem alignment between visibility and token value
