With our apprentice Cohorts, introduction of Smart Invoice as a publicly available product, and a number of other efforts, we are starting to expand the Raid Guild community beyond its membership.In recent weeks, we’ve been thinking about how we can do this most effectively. Our goal is to create a stronger connection and more alignment with the broader web3 community while maintaining our unique culture and the sovereignty that makes Raid Guild such an attractive place to work.One intriguing pattern that has started to emerge from these discussions is the idea of somehow tying the value that our awesome raiders create for our clients with value that we can create for the broader community. For example, is there a way for us to a) slay web3 demons both on behalf of our clients (think: raids) and on behalf of the broader community (think: web3 public goods like Smart Invoice), and b) create incentive structures for the community to get involved in the public goods effort?We think the answer to that question is yes. Stay tuned for more developments in this area 😉Quick Overview of Guild Stats →92 Guild Members2 Guild Improvement Proposals (Formulating)9 Guild Improvement Raids (In Progress)19 Client Raids (In Progress)For those strapped on time, here’s a look at our recent RaidsInternal Raids (RIPs) — — ䷢In-Progress ䷢✨ Join Us ✨Raid Guild members recently completed the new facelift to our Join Us form.

The new escrow will function similarly to Smart Invoice, but there are a few additional features we are looking at integrating into the the app. We will provide you with more updates on what those integrations look like for Raid Guild and our clients in the future. 𐂷 Skill Trees 𐂷Raid Guild is building Skill Trees so RG members can have a point of reference to a members previous work and credentials before pulling them on a project. By using NFTs, this will enable a mechanism for knowledge identification, preservation, coordination, and distribution. This is a seismic project, so there is a need for diligence paired with intense research and verification. Contributors come from the likes of Token Engineering Commons, BlockScience, Commons Stack, Raid Guild, MetaGame, SourceCred, and Deepwork. If you’re looking to get involved, consider Joining Us!🍠 Product Suite 🍠Product-suite we envision will be an all encompassing collection of Raid Guild products and solutions. In addition to the tools we’ve already built, Raid Guild is looking to further develop solutions that will streamline and make more efficient the operation of DAOs in the web3 world. We will be providing additional details about our progress in the coming State of the Raids, so watch out! 👀🏘 ShillShop 🏘The ShillShop is suffering from low uptake, if you’re a front end developer, designer, or you’re interested in marketing drop into our discord to begin chopping it up.WTF is ShillShop?Glad you asked :) — it’s your final destination for all your web3 marketing needs, such as: copywriting, strategy, social media, video, graphics, iconography, memes, or motion design?

Before Season0, much of our engagement from newcomers prevailed through word of mouth, which was great because passion and talent would float in randomly, ready to embark on slaying web3 demons and making new allies along the way. This culture of travelers, pioneers, and foragers meeting and greeting to accomplish work in the Metaverse is one that the Guild prides itself on and that we must preserve as we scale.
