Design for our landing page is going well thanks to Dippundo
The core team is cooking up our onboarding mentor sessions.
Started collaboration with Nonsense and the Degen team to move our onboarding channels to a Degen DM.
As always, looking for front end devs, 8-bit game developers, and experienced social media folks.
Bounty Board - Paul ABSOLUTE FIRE!
Iced and Bpetes have been up to incredible work on our go-to market. We have more customers lined up to adopt once we are ready to release our next major version!
Paulapivat has continued his great work on analytics, and we now have a live dashboard for data around bounty board usage. Itβs currently internal. If you have tasks for projects or guilds, put up a bounty for new members to collect bounties.
- 40 bounties created since inception
- 80,000 BANK distributed
- If you're new to Bankless DAO, check the Bounty Board!
Weβve picked up a new development epic on multi-tenancy and are in a sprint to get the codebase ready for our future
DAO customers.Hop into #bb-general if you are a back-end dev serious about rolling up your sleeves and getting to work
0xLucas congratulates team for crushing it.
MetaFactory - MW/Sinjun
- Working out holiday drops

Top Signal / The Rug - MW

DEGEN - nonsense - AWESOME!
- Really exciting times.
- DEGEN is now live in 18 servers, including DAOpunks, Zapper, PoolTogether, West Coast Customs (Pimp My Ride, CarCoin), Coordinape, and SushiSwap
- DEGEN is currently serving us and Sushiswap at the same time
- Support Staff is moving and grooving - external support
- Some members werenβt aware that DEGEN was available in the BanklessDAO server already - but guess what? U have access to DEGEN!!
- POAP has moved to lock down POAP minting as they work to implement measures to better defend against POAP farming. This does not affect DEGENβs ability to distribute POAPs. We will be receiving an API key in order to be able to acquire claim links directly through DEGEN. The Config command is set up to gate the POAP distribution feature to trusted community members/roles; this will help prevent abuse of the POAP system through DEGEN.
- We will start opening up new features once weβre sure current version has no bugs
[rep] 0xLucas
