How to contribute to HIEM
HIEM is an independently funded project.
Voluntary contributions help keep the project's public infrastructure online and allow work on the books, research materials, digital infrastructure, experiments, and further development of HIEM to continue.
At the moment, there are two direct ways to contribute financially:
1. Voluntary ETH contribution
You can contribute any amount of ETH.
The current canonical contribution instructions are maintained here:
Contribute to HIEM → hiem.xyz/contribute/
Please always use the current instructions published on that page.
2. Get a Miners NFT — 0.01 ETH
Miners are part of the early HIEM digital infrastructure and are being used as access keys during the current stage of development.
50 Miners NFTs are currently listed at 0.01 ETH.
View the official Miners collection on OpenSea
Purchasing a Miners NFT is not an investment offer and does not represent equity, yield, or a promise of financial return.

HIEM also needs people who can contribute knowledge, research, development, translation, design, criticism, practical work, or other resources.
