Greetings! The NEAR Community Squad is excited to share this forum post, which aggregates monthly guild reports and hopefully facilitates coordination by increasing awareness of various opportunities to connect and collaborate. We’re also intending to help guilds keep each other accountable with regard to usage of the NEAR Community Fund .
The NEAR Guilds Program has undergone another update in its processes. This time we’ve re-examined the program’s rewards and incentive model.
[This new approach to program funding has already taken effect, and will be the focus of August 2021.]
Guilds are encouraged to drive membership engagement through a variety of ways. Two of the most prominent means of engagement are bounties and the development of new projects on NEAR. The Guilds Management Crew has been working to develop and maintain…
Thanks to @mecsbecs and the Guilds Management Crew , we have this analytics dashboard representing data from 32 guilds of the NEAR ecosystem:
The above dashboard is made from the Q2 survey results (conducted in Q3):
Hey everyone! Guilds Crew . All of us from the crew have been speaking with all the different guilds and working closely with you all.
The survey is to get a sense of where we’re at right now and what can we do better (we can always do better
Going forward, we are coordinating with the NEAR Data Center Guild to better inform ecosystem participants. We will conduct a Q3 survey in the beginning of Q4, and we’re gathering feedback to improve that process and maximize positive impact.
Here is more information about relevant projects:
DATA ABOUT GUILDS IS COMING! You’ve seen hints of it around the Forum, you’ve felt it in your bones, you’ve been wondering the who, what, where, why, and hows of it all and here, the Guilds Management Crew is happy to give you a full update on the more robust data and analytics about the Guilds of the NEAR Ecosystem you can expect very soon.
First, there was the Guilds Survey from July 2021:
Next, we have...
the Guilds Dashboard
The current dashboard at explorer.near.org/stats is a great start but we need to create the next level of analytics so people around the ecosystem can quickly get a sense of which projects are contributing most and how close we are to key milestones.
This allows both a high level sense of momentum and gives various organizations clear targets to either support (if projects are falling) or drive further (if projects are rising).
To start, I mocked up a momentum dashboard which focuses on the me…
A Guilds Dashboard is coming!
Thanks to the data analyst who was instrumental in the creation of the data insights present in the below Guilds Q2 survey…

These aggregated reports will begin a monthly process of community governance involving review, discussion, and strategy. Please don’t hesitate to suggest ways it can be improved! If you don’t see your guild here, you can reply with a link to your August report, wherever it lives.
Here is an exemplary guide for writing monthly reports, including a template:
[CreativesDAoheader_green]
Tell us how it all went!
Between when a Guild or DAO submits their payout proposal for a month’s worth of projects and activities to the Creatives SputnikDAO and when the next monthly proposal is posted on the Forum, we want to know how those initial projects went or are progressing.
We therefore request that between one payout from the Creatives DAO to the next, there is a brief reporting on the success of the project(s) ongoing or accomplished successfully in a r…
Updated Roadmap:

I will try to continue the tradition of the previous community manager.
But my concept is fundamentally different, I think that the redundancy of voicing thoughts and ideas maybe not always the right option.
Most of the information will be in Russian language.
My aspect at the moment, is that the RU community should get all the information about what is going on in the NEAR ecosystem.
This is the key to growth: news, partnerships, descriptions of new projects, people need to see how NEAR blo…

C1 wants to build on its momentum this August. After a successful and busy first month, the idea is to onboard new artists and mint on their behalf in the C1 store.
The idea is to build the DAO funds, and continue onboarding contributors, mint their work, and sell via the C1 mintbase store to try to build for the studio set ups. Currently the Mintbase store has 10 pieces minted with more on the way.
We have a number of different ways we are going to expand C1s reach this month.

Moving forward, we hope to discuss ways to improve guild reporting and further develop solutions for adaptive accountability through a community dashboard on stats.gallery
That means power to the people of NEAR! You can help our network of guilds decide what is valuable and important for sustainable growth and overall ecosystem development.
https://gov.near.org/t/near-data-project-stats-gallery/5244
Navigating our ecosystem can be difficult… That’s why we are focused on creating a wiki and the map . We might also utilize project boards and other features of this community repo for transparent coordination of developers and projects.
Generally, DAOs are confusing, yet guilds often rely on them for accountability. Our ecosystem already supports a diverse population of contributors, and we believe all of you deserve to earn from value shared with NEAR. How I see it, the purpose of NEAR is to help anyone fulfill their purpose, as we imagine a better world in which everyone has control of their data, money, and the power of governance.
