Donuts are a form of community points that are at this time exclusive to the r/ethtrader subreddit. Similar to Reddit karma, Donuts are exclusively given out as contributions specific to the r/ethtrader community.

Reddit users can also directly give Donuts to other account holders as a reward for good comments. Once you have Donuts on Reddit, give it a try! While using the new Reddit redesign, click on the Donut symbol next to any username to give that user some of your Donuts.

Donuts use cases currently include tipping other users' posts and comments, adding weight to your votes in governance polls, buying limited-edition subreddit badges, and buying the banner to probably update it with whatever weird t-shirt Vitalik wore to the last development conference.
