Note: To make any forum topic / post an editable wiki , you have to click the wrench icon after your wiki has been published.
Proposal: Ecosystem Wiki(s)
Wiki has been established: https://wiki.near.org
I would like to launch a Wiki for NEAR Ecosystem and hope to gather support from community to fill it in and help maintain going forward.
Reason
Currently there are some info on the https://near.org page but it’s naturally limited and updated slowly as it’s designed to attract attention and route people. Future rebrand is going to just make that more clear but not going to create more place for content. Website is also maintained by the Founda…
You know, when we think about it, this forum is kind of a NEAR wiki for wikis!

This post will serve as an evolving resource for anyone to learn about guilds, which provide structure(s) to the idea of NEAR as an ecosystem of communities.
What is a guild?
A guild is a community or group(s) of people with unique identity based on their purposes, visions, and missions. High-level goals connect dimensions of value and responsibility. Members of guilds work together in order to design and execute projects based on shared interests and potential co…
Each and every guild is encouraged to create a forum thread (a.k.a. topic) in order to facilitate more interactions with our ecosystem of guilds / communities
Create your official thread, with a simple, easy-to-understand title like “Guild Name”

Streamlined Rewards for Guild Contributors
This post will explain how (and why) guild leaders may create Sputnik DAOs and request budgets for distribution to individual contributors. While teaching others about our new process, you can help our community experiment with decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs).
Earlier this year, we introduced a more open system for guild reports on the forum. However, payouts are still managed through a centralized process that relies on traditional invoi…
