Exercism Insiders

You can check the exact algorithm in our codebase but it's also reproduced here.

To gain lifetime access you need one of the following:

• To be a founder or staff member
• To be a supermentor (100+ solutions mentored on a track with a 95% positive rating)
• To have a reputation equal or greater than 1,000
• To have donated $499 (in one or many parts)

For those without lifetime access, to gain access you need one of the following:

• To be a maintainer
• To have had a recurring donation at the point that Premium launched (May 30th 2023), and it still to be active.
• To have earned 30 reputation in the last 30 days, or 200 reputation in the last 365 days (not including reputation for publishing solutions)

You can also gain access to Insiders by donating.

• For donations before we launched Premium, you get one month of Insiders for every $9.99 donated, from the date that Premium launched, plus one extra bonus month. So if you donated $35 before Premium launched, you'd get Insiders access through June, July, August and September 2023.
• For donations after we launched Premium, you get one month of Insiders for every $25 donated. So if you donate $50 today, you'll have access for the next two months.

If you think you meet these criteria but don't have access, please contact Loretta and she'll sort it out. If you've donated via Paypal or GitHub Sponsors but don't have access, please see the next question.
