Let's be honest the most fun thing to do in web3 right now is minting everything we do onchain. This is your sign to make more onchain memories!
Your wallet is not just a wallet; it's a core part of your identity on the internet. And with Guild Pins, you can easily show other web3 citizens which community you belong to and support, an onchain memory of your experience.
Guild Pins are non-transferable NFTs on Polygon, Arbitrum and Binance Smart Chain (later other chains as well). They are a “proof of join”, showing belonging right from member'’ wallets across applications.
Imagine logging in to an app and seeing all the friends you could have based on the Guilds you have in common, kinda like Telegram's shared group or Twitter's shared following features. Your interests and history can greatly affect your potential new connections very wholesomely!
WHY
The purpose of a Guild Pin is to provide a claimable badge to transparently show your support and belonging to the communities you are in. Representing as an on-chain memory in time of your experience. Serving as a stable point onchain for further community efforts.
As a community builder, you know how important it is to build a sense of belonging among your members. That's where Guild Pins come in!
WHAT ARE PINS GOOD FOR
Guild Pins aren't just a way to show off community spirit. They also serve as a building block for your community strategy. Use them as requirements for roles, or as keys to access your community in any other token-gated platform. And with every Pin being numbered or “ranked”, you can see who has supported you since day 1 and reward them with privileges accordingly.
Pins also work as a constant source of onchain marketing and brand awareness since we bring our wallets and with them our Pins everywhere as part of our wallet-based identity, representing the community in other wallets, NFT applications, and marketplaces. Minting of the Pins costs 1 Matic to facilitate our operating costs. To get a Pin you need to join the community of your choice and you'll see the Pin among the rewards.
Since pins are non-transferable, they are not a means for financial speculation, but for early support, pride and prestige!!!
HOW TO USE PINS IN COMMUNITY STRATEGIES
So how do Pins come into the Guild Model of requirements, roles and rewards? I’m glad you asked.
Guild Pins that are minted after joining a community can be used as requirements in community strategies to set up conditions for further deepening the relationship between members. To segment the community based on time, involvement and interests. For example:
Holding the Pin can grant members a “Pin Holder” role, which grants access to chatgroups and special events as a reward.
And to make up a “verified member” role it could be used in combination with other requirements such as: following on socials, being regular at community events and having other roles in the community.
There is one more twist: Pins are ranked in the order of members claiming them. Meaning, that every single token is numbered so it's an awesome tool to show a rough time of Joining, how long have holders been members of a community.
To segment based on timeliness:
You can also set up a range of ranks for Pins as requirements for roles:
-
The holders of the first 500 Pins who were here and claimed the "joined Guild Pin” can have the early role, and enjoy special privileges
-
The first 2000 Pin holders can have the semi-early role, etc etc
We want members to be vouching for communities early, and having something to show for it.
