Note that Workchain is an open-source project that is designed to give all contributors an opportunity to get paid for their work. As such, there will be multiple different teams working to improve the Workchain concept and its ecosystem, not just one. Each will be adding value for holders and users, competing for a slice of the reward pie every pay period and submitting tokens for validation.
In the hyper-competitive Workchain model, workers add value first and then seek validations from holders based on the value that they have added. The more validations a worker receives compared with other workers, the bigger their share of the worker rewards.
