Gamified Communities 🕹️
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” - SocratesCultivating a thriving ecosystem is an uphill battle. Catering to all members, and grappling with an ever-changing web3 landscape, is nearly impossible. Most communities are scattered across multiple platforms, and their efforts are diluted in trying to cover all touchpoints. This leads to a poor experience for existing members and pushes prospective ones away from stopping by eve...

Announcing rep3 club! 🎉
As a venture betting on the future of digital communities, today we are excited to announce rep3 club! 😄 We strongly believe in the wisdom of crowds, and this is our attempt at progressive decentralization. This is an opportunity to first-hand showcase the power of rep3's credentialing engine and provide a template for budding digital communities to decrease operational inefficiencies. The hurdles digital communities face aren't due to a lack of infrastructure or tooling — they hav...

On-chain credentials: Part 3️⃣
Any large-scale coordinated effort is mediated by credentials. In the first post of this series, we laid the foundations of this idea and established the four main use-cases of credentials. In the succeeding post, we dove deep into two of the four use-cases of credentials—organization and access control. We looked at credentials from the perspective of DAO admins or operators and explored the benefits of having an effective credentialing system in place. In this article, which is the last in ...

On-chain credentials: Part 2️⃣
The appeal of decentralized communities and blockchain applications lies in their attempt to move us towards an equitable and sustainable world. To effect change at this magnitude, they obviously have their own, different set of fundaments. This difference inspires a rethinking of several core phenomenon, one of which is the credentialing infrastructure of today. Credentials are used to mediate action in several contexts. In the previous post of this series, we traced their progression from s...

On-chain credentials: A Primer 🔖
Thinking from first principles must come easy to you if you're involved with DAOs. In fact, when we were reflecting on our dissatisfactory experience as DAOs contributors ourselves, we were forced to think from first principles to arrive at an answer. What was really going wrong? For starters, the whole contributor experience was a long-drawn affair. After task completion, one had to rigorously follow up to get their work seen and get paid. Then, the reputation so built in one DAO did no...
