# Crowdfunded Cyber Formation **Domain:** Cyber organization / Research concept **Doc Type:** Developed Wiki Node **Maturity:** Hypothetical composition **Collection:** [[collections/Gamification|Gamification Collection]] ## Definition A **crowdfunded cyber formation** is a proposed formation in which outside contributors capitalize a treasury used to support a distributed population performing cyber tasks under an eligibility, adjudication, reputation, and payout regime. ## Significance Aid For Ukraine proves wartime crowd capitalization; Immunefi and attackathons prove ranked, adjudicated cyber labor; the IT Army proves distributed cyber tasking. Their coexistence does not prove their deliberate integration. This node preserves that evidentiary boundary. ## Sources - [[articles/gamification/Lex Sportiva and Winning Without Bloodshed|Lex Sportiva and Winning Without Bloodshed]] - [The IT Army of Ukraine: Structure, Tasking, and Ecosystem](https://css.ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/special-interest/gess/cis/center-for-securities-studies/pdfs/Cyber-Reports-2022-06-IT-Army-of-Ukraine.pdf) ## Routes [[wiki/Crypto Conflict Crowdfunding|Crypto Conflict Crowdfunding]] · [[wiki/Crowdfunded Security Tournament|Crowdfunded Security Tournament]] · [[wiki/Tokenized Cyber Formation|Tokenized Cyber Formation]] · [[wiki/Distributed Cyber Tasking|Distributed Cyber Tasking]]
