The concept of making Guilds independent from the NEAR foundation is a great thing, but still, many Guilds are dependent on the NEAR foundation for funding and mentorship. As a Guild Ops, I would like to suggest that to make Guilds independent from the NEAR foundation, we have to increase coordination between Guild\<\>Guild and Guild\<\>projects, and to support this vision(Cross-Guild Cooperation), I’m creating a [document](https://www.notion.so/Guild-Services-8c0c3996722845f9a52caa32fb1e3b7e) where I’m listing services from guilds’ and requirement of Guilds’ This way, we can analyze and connect a service provider Guild with a Guild or Project who need that service, and in return, they can earn some tokens or NFTs or shoutouts or help or anything else. As of now, everything is on a document. But I’m planning to scale it by creating a website like a job board where anybody can list tasks, time, rewards or salary. On one more thing, I would like to add some light that if we are still very concerned about transparency then why have DAOs, [Guild tiering systems](http://gov.near.org/t/guilds-tiering-system-an-evolutionary-path-for-community-development/11104) and tools like [Guild on-chain trackers](https://app.nearguilds.com/#/guilds)? **Final thought:** We should focus on Guilds’ to make them more decentralized and independent. We have blockchain to keep everything transparent. Once @shreyas said that ‘our blockchain is PoS, but our Community is PoW’. 😆 --- _[View the full topic](https://gov.near.org/t/reimagining-the-near-guilds-program/15972)._
