Communities That Work Together Win Together | BanklessDAO Weekly Rollup

Catch Up With What Happened This Week in BanklessDAO


Dear Bankless Nation 🏴,

This week, we witnessed a remarkable moment in history. The Ethereum Merge, a process always planned for and likened to swapping out an engine mid-flight, happened without a hitch on September 15, 2022 at 06:43 UTC. There were cheers, there were pandas, there was pixel painting, and there were yawns from our North American friends who aren’t used to having key historical moments take place outside their time zones.

The Merge was more than six years in the making, and putting aside the evident technical brilliance for a moment, it is clear that this was a triumph for teamwork. In this week’s editorial, Siddhearta makes an excellent case for what can be achieved by BanklessDAO if we focus on working together as a team.

Whether you experience the bDAO Community Call live, or catch up afterwards, you’ll know that the slides offer us a glimpse of what is happening in small teams across the DAO. Treasury Guild is working on BANK utility and value, the Podcast Hatchery continues to produce excellent content, The Writers Guild is running a second Cohort program, DAOlationships are hosting demos with a huge range of Web3 project teams, and the IMN’s #WeAreDAO campaign highlights the diversity and dedication of individuals in our bDAO family.

It’s crucial that we maintain our focus on these wonderful workstreams but also that we zoom out and have a really good look at the ‘big picture’. A number of current proposals on the Forum are tackling this challenge from various angles: ideating on contributor recognition and role badges, a horizontal centre of excellence, and bottom-up community sentiment checks. To pick up on links’ comment in relation to the bDAO Card project, “it doesn’t matter what you do, we need you” — so please go and engage with the latest Forum content. One post you definitely won’t want to miss is the GSE Deliverables (Cohort-1) summary report.

Read on for all the latest learning opportunities, a light-hearted new section where we ask the tough questions to our contributors, and a feast of content for you to enjoy as you savour your first post-Merge weekend. bDAO Strong!
