Community
Public publishing, bounties, and the leaderboard.
Last updated July 2026
The Community area connects the Olto userbase around shared, public protocols and lab activity. It is available on every plan.
Public Library & Fork Lineage
Publish a protocol to the public library so other researchers can discover, read, and fork it into their own workspace. Olto preserves the fork lineage, so a protocol always traces back to the original it descended from, giving credit and making provenance clear.
Activity Feed
The activity feed surfaces recent community activity (new public protocols, forks, and notable events) so you can follow what the community is building.
Stars & Following
Star protocols you want to keep or signal as useful, and follow researchers whose work you want to track. Stars contribute to a protocol's visibility and its author's reputation.
Reputation & Leaderboard
Contributions earn reputation, and a leaderboard recognizes the community's most active and well-regarded contributors based on shared protocols, forks, and stars.
Bounties
Post a bounty to crowdsource a protocol or a specific experimental design, and recognize the contributor whose work you accept. Bounties give the community a structured way to collaborate on hard problems.
