Last week I volunteered at and attended MCON, hosted by MetaCartel, at Evans School, a historic elementary school in Denver. The event was filled with ultra-spicy talks coupled with elite attendees, programming, and sweet VIBES (not the overused kind). I was bummed I couldn’t attend last year, and grateful to see the heat is still very much on this year for MCON attendees who continue to build despite crypto FUD. Below I’m sharing 5 observations and 3 takeaways from my time at MCON.

5 Observations

1. MCON is a fever dream that captures the best of crypto.

The spicy, bold, and founder-driven community of MetaCartel cannot be manufactured. The event is a family reunion for many but was also an initiation for those who had the pleasure of making this their first crypto event.…TBH I wish MCON was my first crypto event. While this wasn’t my first event, it was my first MCON. This year I saw people I’ve known forever and met recently, met internet homies for the first time in person, and met several new folks as well, all while watching others do the same. Connecting with people and building community obviously isn’t a new aspect of attending crypto events, but it is definitely still my favorite after all these years. It’s safe to say all MCON attendees will be included in the “wgmi” camp.

2. The youthful setting of an elementary school encouraged whimsical off-chain coordination activities.

Moloch DAOdgeball, the massive bike ride, and the Relay Race are just some examples. The school setting also encouraged serious discussions to happen in a more casual and human format on the school lawn sitting crossed-legged in a circle, versus stuffed into a meeting room or behind a zoom screen. There was also discussion of Tornado Cash implications over sharing a simple meal of pizza that gets quite spicy with the addition of some Moloch hot sauce…stay tuned.

3. People were very enthusiastic to fully engage in the event programming.

From listening in on the main stage talks and participating in side panels, workshops, and events, to offering volunteer assistance throughout the event. Everyone wanted this event to be dope and contributed to making that happen.

4. The conference programming was exceptional.

Everyone that spoke or hosted a workshop is currently in the trenches, or has been in the trenches at one point, and were speaking to their first-hand experiences, insights, and predictions for the future based on actually being a builder or operator that is doing, or has done, the work themselves. Also, the onsite DAOHaus workshop provided the opportunity for Wgmi to be the first DAO to launch on moloch v3 - LFG!!!

5. We were spared the moon boys and e-girls.

Since MCON is intentionally quite intimate compared to larger conferences, such as ETH Denver or NFT.NYC, it fostered a very casual and flex-free atmosphere. Where folks could really be themselves, share their spiciest takes, and speak freely around their work and passions.

3 Takeaways

1. DAOs do not need to rush, especially during fundamental transitions.

Go slow and give contributors time to process with regular feedback loops. For elements that require speed and/or vetted work, build in public and be transparent, but become autonomous from the slower or more experimental parts of the organization.

2. DAOs are not leaderless but rather leaderful.

Every contributor is a leader and needs to be empowered to act this way. (Not sure who said this but it really resonated. Thus, sadly I cannot claim as my own quote).

3. Organizational debt can be worse than technical debt.

Either way, stay boring with your operations and your tech stack per “Choose Boring Technology.” This keeps everyone focused on shipping and moving the business/DAO goals forward while minimizing distractions.

Admittedly, going into MCON I was feeling DAO decision and execution fatigue. However, I am feeling super invigorated after the event between the above observations and takeaways. We all know Wgmi’s coordination efforts and challenges are not unique to our DAO. Yet somehow hearing war stories firsthand in a concentrated setting makes all the difference, rather than reading about it second-hand on Twitter.

I also feel validation and high conviction in the decision to split Wgmi Consulting from Wgmi DAO. This is how several projects operate and is especially necessary for ServiceDAOs that are 100% focused on revenue generation. This is encouraged rather than frowned upon by DAO OGs as we all continue to iterate and experiment with making DAOs more operationally mature and scalable.

This was the sanity check I needed, thank you MCON.

TLDR;

• Guild Updates

• NFXL

• DAO Palace

• MVD

• ADDIE

WGMI is finding our stride! Here’s what went down in July.

Treasury Updates

We’ve put payments for almost all contributors on pause momentarily. This moves us from LFG, the LFTG (Let’s Thoughtfully F*cking Go). This is not permanent. Payments will resume payments after we get the serviceDAO spinning and bringing in more revenue.

We received another grant from MetaCartel (10,000 wXDAI)💸, and Matt has injected more capital into the treasury to help get us over the hump. 🙏

As always if you want to follow the multisig balances or transactions you can find that data here: (0x23AA3040596Fd1c60BE0FC2f481258515c4Aa1A7) and WGMIcommunity.ETH and you can do so on Zapper.fi, Zerion, or Debank.

Coordinape

We’ll be spinning up new circles for a few of our guilds this month. These circles will be used to track contributions to the guild, and will run monthly.

When we have green light for compensation to resume well start using these results to compensate the amazing work that’s been done.

Events

DAO Palace

Matt was invited to a retreat hosted by MetaCartel at the DAO Palace where leaders from across the DAO space came to help refine and improve their plans for the future their building. We had the privilege to hear from 🧠’s on the optimal way to structure our DAO that will help inform our DAO’s design from governance structure to Tokenomics.

UPCOMING

GM BUS (August 15th)

An IRL bus full of DAO Experts who will be going to the people, and helping onboard people into web3. If we want to make it we have to get real people on the bus. More details to come!

MCON2 (September 6-9)

A conference focused on DAO’s. This will be attended by ~600 people with the goal of coordinating around how we can tune DAO’s to find their stride. WGMI will be on site and helping crush Moloch.

Governance Updates

We have the forum back online! There are no active proposals at this time, but if you have ideas for how we can make WGMI better draft up a proposal for us here! (Be sure to use the template!)

MVD (Minimum Viable DAO)

For most of the last year we’ve been stuck in an awkward place. WGMI didn’t start to become a DAO, it started (nearly a year ago 👀) to help a few community managers in web3 get better.

As time went on though we quickly saw the need for WGMI to transform into a DAO. One of the reasons it hasn’t happened yet has been analysis paralysis. There are so many options to create a DAO! This is awesome… and overwhelming.

What are the implications of making a bad first decision? Fortunately, we’ve got 0xjustice who has been spearheading our DAO formation for months and has a solution for us.

It’s called Minimum Viable DAO (MVD). The goal of MVD is to take small iterative steps. Right now, we’re having monthly community calls, and weekly council sessions. We’re building a community Github handbook. We’ll be launching a DAOhaus moloch dao next week to house our governance activities which will be driven by discussions that take place on our renewed governance forum. After that is completed we’ll begin onboarding people into the DAO and continue building a community that puts the WE in web3. We’ll do this by falling into the infinite WGMI loop.

1. curate - attract top community pros and future community leaders (e.g. community guild, grow the community)

2. execute - coordinate community professional work and delegate tasks to contributors via service dao model (e.g. service guild)

3. develop - take the learnings from each internal and external community project and create education modules for community manager training (e.g. education guild)

4. coordinate - organize the operations needed to share learnings, resources, Schelling points, dao coordination, decentralized proposal execution, contributor payments and communication to all community members.

If you’d like to know more about MVD or want to get involved reach out to 0xJustice.eth in the discord

Addie

If you’ve noticed an increase in productivity in WGMI you can probably blame Addie.

In my biased opinion, WGMI killed it last month. As usual.

Catch you on the flip side WGMI! Until then, keep putting the WE in web3!

Treasury Updates

We have the payments queued up for our contributors for last month!  (S/O to Utopia Labs for the help there)

As always if you want to follow the multisig balances or transactions you can find that data here: (0x23AA3040596Fd1c60BE0FC2f481258515c4Aa1A7) and WGMIcommunity.ETH and you can do so on Zapper.fi.

Coordinape

**The Coordinape epoch didn’t receive enough engagement this epoch and it’s results will not be considered. We’ll regroup on this and try again. **

WGMI BRAND REFRESH

New look, same WGMI 😎 You may have noticed that WGMI got a little facelift recently. The team has been working on updating our Brand identity for the past few months, and in June we rolled out the new look. It’s a vibe and we’re excited to bring this to life.

We were truly blessed to work with the legendary, Losing My Ego for this update and website…

NEW WEBSITE

What’s a new look, without a new website?! After many months of website 1.0, we relaunched our website as part of the new Brand reveal. On the updated site, you’ll be able to find info on what we’re working on, how you can work with us, and more details about our upcoming Community Management Bootcamp.

We wrote up a full rundown of the new Brand refresh and website, over on our Twitter:

BIG shoutout to Eric_3.0, GenuineJack, Addigator, and everyone else who was involved in this project! It wouldn’t be possible without y’all 💙

DAO NYC 2022

In case you missed it, folks from WGMI were in NYC at the end of June for DAO NYC. We heard from dozens of speakers, discussing the DAO landscape, trends, and how we can continue building the future we want to see.

Our Marketing Tribe Lead was on the ground and wrote up a Twitter thread recapping and covering some takeaways from the event:

https://twitter.com/GenuineJack/status/1542546329074819077?s=20&t=i4hvmZABD1Z9_MzzQXS7Ag

UPCOMING

MARKETING & COMMUNITY BOUNTY BOARD

The team has been working hard to map out our contributor onboarding flow. Keep an eye on the Marketing & Community channels in the new few weeks to learn more about getting involved and becoming a contributor.

OFFICE HOURS (FOR REAL)

We’re not going to lie, June got away from us! But we’ve heard that “office hours” with WGMI would be something that folks would like to see happen. The idea is simple: bring your community questions and the WGMI team will discuss and provide real-time feedback/help with whatever you’re working on. Keep an eye on our Twitter for more updates!

Community Member Highlight

OOPS#0420 (Interviewed by Manbirmarwah)

1. How would you introduce yourself, where are you from, and how’ve you been doing?

   1. I am Oops and I’m a community manager, discord wizard, and creator putting the we in web3.

2. What brought you to WGMI.community?

   1. Matt & I had previously had some twitter back and forth conversation. When he tweeted about creating a group for community managers to gather I believe I was one of the first ones to jump on board. I set up the initial framework for the discord server and started inviting knowledgeable people in with the goal of creating a CM helping CM environment. What has since grown out of that has become a lot more, and watching the WGMI grow out of such a simple idea has been amazing to see.

3. What’s one thing about WGMI that makes it stand out?

   1. The overall context of WGMI is that people are helping in their free time to educate others and set up the standards for training a Web3 community manager. The community is happy to share their knowledge, which is not unique but is certainly special. As this continues to grow, I believe WGMI can become a pillar of the project deployment toolkit when people are looking to take their steps into web3.

4. What are you contributing to at WGMI and what would you suggest to someone who’s new to the community?

   1. I tend to float and help when I find something that I can do. That is also the advice I would give to anyone else that is looking to help. Find a niche, fill a niche. In my case my niche was setting up discord communities, bots, and contributing during calls and bigger picture discussions. I also occasionally host workshops or prep out tutorials for others in the community.

5. What else are you working on?

   1. One of my favorite side projects right now is traveling around to various crypto-events as a POAP ambassador sharing NFTs as on-chain memories with people. When people go to events, I hope that they keep their eyes out for the Pikachu walking around handing out POAP stickers.

6. What would you do with a dozen BAYCs (or any NFT bag of your choice)?

   1. Well, hopefully I like them and would actually want to keep them and use them for something. Otherwise I would likely sell them and get things I would enjoy using. I’m not much of a speculatoooor. But honestly who knows..

7. What are some of your favorite accounts on Twitter and why is WGMI.community on #1?

   1. CT is a dumpster fire but I love it (sometimes).

8. What’s the most understood thing about community building?

   1. At this point I think everyone understands that eventually, this will be world changing. They also understand that we are early and it’s going to be messy.

9. What’s one thing you wish everyone building a community knew?

   1. There is value in the long term of favoring quality>quantity when building a community. Numbers aren’t everything (and are also misleading).

10. What’s one question you wish I’d asked, and how would you have answered?

    1. Why prioritize free distribution - because it’s the best onboarding tool to bring people into the space at low/no risk creating the best environment for learning.

11. Anything else you want the people at home to know?

    1. I am a free distribution maximalist

Catch you on the flip-side WGMI! Until then, keep putting the WE in web3!

Hard to believe we’re a quarter of the way through the year already, but here we are!

It’s also a sad day for us here at WGMI. We are saddened to announce that WGMI is changing its name to NGMI.

The reason is, none of us are going to make it.

Also, it’s April Fools. Don’t believe everything you see today! 😉

It’s been a busy month for WGMI thanks to all the great work from all the amazing community members!

Of which we just wanted to give a shout-out to one of our newer members Yalor! He’s joined the team in an advisory role, and will help guide us as we grow into a community-building powerhouse!

Governance Updates

Keep an eye on the Discourse Forum for a couple of new governance proposals.

It is an honor and a privilege to welcome everyone to the WGMI Community.

Since this is our first Newsletter, let me lay out what WGMI is trying to do by sharing our Mission, Vision and Values.

Mission 🎯

Build a community of community leaders in web3.

Vision 🔮

We see a world where community leaders, directors, managers, and more are leading the future businesses and technologies of the world.

Values 🤝

🥇 Community First

We believe heavily in Community first. To be successful as a community and as community leaders in the space–we must put others before ourselves. We are all incentivized to be here personally, but the collective long-term value of collaboration outweighs the short-term gains by a single member of this community. This group strives to put the We in Web3.

🤝 Collaboration

The internet sure did not build itself. There is also no single founder of the web, blockchain, or Ethereum. There are thousands of engineers, contributors, inventors, creators, and entrepreneurs that made the access to connectivity what it is today. We believe heavily in leveraging everyone’s skills to achieve a common goal.

🗨️ Transparency

There is no us and them in Community. There is only the monster of coordination that we are all fighting over—in web3 we call this “Moloch”. Our community is fighting to become more efficient, more collaborative—we can only achieve this through transparency and clear communication to all.

💯 Contribution

We believe in solving problems, fixing issues and participation for the sake of the community. Our members willingly contribute content, communication, code, and effort to help the greater cause. There is the understanding that work = pay, however, in the beginning, to gain the community’s trust, value is interpreted as how much you contribute to the whole before the whole gives back to you. This is a trustless agreement between the community and ourselves. We give more than we take.

If you have seen this before it means you have been in our notion and are on your way to being a contributor. We cannot wait to have you come aboard!

If you have not and this sounds like something you want to be a part of then please join our discord and raise your hand. We would love to have you.

Whether you are an Oops level discord Wizard or a Crypto newbie, we are hoping to give you the information and skills to level yourself up and empower you to go and build and manage a Web3 community!

ETHDenver Update!

The WGMI squad was well represented at #ETHDenver this year. Matt, Faith, iSpeakNerd, Manavarro, and Reese were all on site and spreading the WGMI message.

Metapod

Matt and iSpeakNerd pitched to Metapod. While we did not win the competition, we did manage to meet a few legends in the crypto community sphere. No alpha leak, but keep your eyes peeled. There is definitely more to come in this space!

https://twitter.com/irrelephantoops/status/1494094838442168321?s=21

After the Metapod pitch we had the first IRL WGMI meet up at Hydra!

After realizing that none of us look like our profile pictures we promptly started Jamming on what we think the future of WGMI looks like… We are very excited by the potential to impact Web3 in this community!

https://twitter.com/EthereumDenver/status/1494558227270299649?s=20&t=4k27vJd35cuZtZy4ryANiQ

All throughout the week Oops was running around in his Pikachu onesie handing out physical POAPs... I am not positive but I am fairly confident he’s the most prolific in-person POAP distributor of all time.

Changes in the Discord

There were some substantial changes in the Discord today. We have streamlined and condensed many of our prior channels to make it easier to get a sense of what’s going on in WGMI, and to make it easier for people to hop in and get up to speed. We hope this new structure makes a more enjoyable experience for all of community members (New and Old!)
