Guild.xyz grant application

Guild / Agora Space DAO
[Project name: guild.xyz]

##Application type: Grant

##Proposal overview:
Agora DAO is a studio DAO building essential tools for internet native communities. Our vision is to supercharge Web3 adoption by creating gasless, multichain and platform-agnostic solutions, without sacrificing decentralisation or privacy.
Guild provides token gated access with custom logic on Discord channels. It is a permissionless, open-source tool to create groups using tokens, NFTs, NFT fractions, specific NFT attributes without having to interact with a bot. There’s a great demand in the blockchain ecosystem for a token gated access tool that is open source and doesn’t risk users’ privacy. Guild comes with an access control API and besides being platform-agnostic (Discord, Telegram etc) it also has multi-chain attributes (Arbitrum, Harmony, XDai, Avalanche, Matic etc.) innovating cross-chain token gating for communities.

We integrate all of these chains in an effort to truly unlock opportunities and the potential of Web3 and collaboration in the space. We are delighted to support Harmony as well and to expand the range of tools available for the communities there.

Our aim with this grant is to establish a stronger relationship with the Harmony ecosystem and to provide a range of tooling for the communities that are native to Harmony

##Proposal ask:
$50,000

##Metrics for success:
More than 120 Discord servers use Guild
Discord also verified our bot

Hello :wave: @videkivivi

Sincerest apologies for this delayed response. If you’re still interested in receiving a Launch Grant from Harmony would it be possible to hop on a call with @Sam sometime next week?

Looking forward to your response. :slight_smile:

Hey Mikey,

We did have a great call with Sam couple weeks ago. Could you please inform me about the next steps?

Best,

Vivi

Hi Mikey,

Hey @videkivivi!

Apologies for the delay. As I was not on the call those weeks ago with you and Sam I am not aware of the next steps.

Allow me a day or two to get informed and I will get back to y’all asap.

Hi @frwrdslosh

Hello @videkivivi

Thanks for your patience while we sort this out.

So, this particular request falls under the lines of a DAO Tooling Grant. These grant guidelines are just being established so please bear with us as we formalize the process.

In general, the DAO Tooling Grant will be $50K in non-equity funding paid out based on the following deliverables:

  • $10K: DAO Tool live on Harmony Testnet
  • $10K: DAO Tool live on Harmony Mainnet
  • $15K: DAO Tool adopted and used by 10 Harmony DAOs
  • $15K: A Training Webinar held, recorded and posted to Harmony Protocol YouTube page.

An additional $10K bonus will be available if the product team decides to put the tool in the hands of a DAO for further development and establishes a 5/9 multisig wallet to govern these funds.

Is this grant framework acceptable to you and your team?

Thanks!
Sam Harrison
