# Collective Participation Are you hacking with NEAR in the metaverse? Keep reading to learn how you can join the MetaBuild Hacker DAO, and help our community experiment with [Pingbox](https://pingbox.app), a notification system for DAOs and other applications running on NEAR! _**Each member of this MetaBuild council will receive a special NFT (courtesy of @Samtoshi_F_Baby)**, which represents valid hackathon participation. Also, we might create more NFTs and even launch a social token, $HACK, so DAO participants could vote on rewarding hackers from the DAO account._ ## Guide for Hackers ### Join the DAO: #### Step 1 ~ Navigate to [MetaBuild DAO](https://v2.sputnik.fund/#/metabuild.sputnik-dao.near) ![Screen Shot 2021-09-02 at 2.05.47 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/2X/4/4464fece72621ad8546a94f3575c77f692c612e9.png) #### Step 2 ~ Click “Add New Proposal” _Be sure you are logged in!_ ![Screen Shot 2021-09-02 at 2.09.30 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/2X/e/e0277a1525cbe3d81864f209585ded75c227f333.png) #### Step 3 ~ Click “Add” Under “Council Member” ![Screen Shot 2021-09-02 at 2.10.02 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/2X/5/56f3dd0981a35edbe6d1486412ab538247345223.png) #### Step 4 ~ Enter Account ID + Proposal Description ![Screen Shot 2021-09-02 at 2.10.41 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/2X/6/633c42b4b8aa32fcb6df2961cd3d146b57399e79.png) #### Step 5 ~ Allow Transfer of 0.01 NEAR Deposit ![Screen Shot 2021-09-02 at 2.12.34 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/2X/e/eca91915ddf8b44a0729b7f52984993857fc6821.png) ### Optional ~ Set Up Notifications: #### Step 6 ~ Navigate to [Pingbox.app](https://pingbox.app) ![Screen Shot 2021-09-02 at 2.13.56 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/2X/f/fbca784c878ec3bf15400d9388aff8070dbfd2b6.jpeg) #### Step 7 ~ Register with Council Member Account Purchase Subscription → Verify Account → Configure Preferences ![Screen Shot 2021-09-02 at 2.14.55 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/2X/5/5e3bec14221bcd4d7e073a5c19f9c64d815c531b.png) #### Step 8 ~ Turn On Sputnik DAO Notifications ![Screen Shot 2021-09-02 at 2.25.40 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/2X/f/f99de55c55f9e95477527059d19119a3248647ff.png) ### Hackathon Team Formation: The illustrious @zavodil created this amazing, [open-source platform](https://metabuidl.nearspace.info/search/projects), where hackers can discover projects, join a team, share ideas, and start building! > **[GitHub - zavodil/near-metabuidl](https://github.com/zavodil/near-metabuidl)** > > Contribute to zavodil/near-metabuidl development by creating an account on GitHub. #### Join the NEAR Discord: Connect with potential collaborators in the “Hackathons” category, share ideas, and get your questions answered.

NEAR Foundation and the Hackathon Guild provide financial, operational, promotional, technical, and emotional support \<3 > [@Hack Nodes Open Call - Hackathon 1 Update](http://gov.near.org/t/hack-nodes-open-call-hackathon-1-update/3898): > > Connections in the modern world, particularly over the last 18 months, have been made with cables and signals. With our upcoming string of Hackathons, the NEAR Community is set to change that! We’d like to bring people together.

Transparency makes it easier to gather feedback and invite more people to contribute. For example, hackers could submit proposals to fund their DAOs in order to reward contributors for incremental developments. These project-specific “Hacker DAOs” may continue growing after this event. Who knows ~ maybe judges will appreciate thoughtful approaches to governance? #### Create a v1 Sputnik DAO > **[Sputnikfund](https://sputnik.fund)** #### Create a v2 Sputnik DAO [Sign up](https://astrodao.com) to receive updates on Astro ✨ Test App: [https://v2.sputnik.fund](https://v2.sputnik.fund) Documentation: > **[sputnik-dao-contract/sputnikdao2 at feat/enchance-contract-v2-readme ·...](https://github.com/near-daos/sputnik-dao-contract/tree/feat/enchance-contract-v2-readme/sputnikdao2)** > > Smart contracts for https://app.astrodao.com.
