About Guild Guild.xyz is the infrastructure for platformless access management. Create portable memberships, social structures around on- & off-chain requirements and build unique user journeys across apps!

We started out as a simple bot for connecting Ethereum with Discord, inspired by our own needs for better token-gating and general access management of internet native groups.

Over time, Guild.xyz evolved to be integrated with multiple platforms like Discord, Telegram, Twitter, Google Workspace, GitHub in addition to 17 chains and several web3 protocols such as POAP, Mirror, Lens and Snapshot. Supporting a diverse set of communities like: Arbitrum, Zerion or Lil Nouns.

What is our mission? Since our launch working with hundreds of online communities, we've witnessed how painful transition costs from and between web2 walled gardens is and how kept them from reaching their true, full potential.

Communities should be able to move fluidly as a collective. Guild is the direct opposite of all-in-one platforms. Our goal is to build full interoperability for communities between all their platforms for sharing, interactions, and collaboration. So community members can automatically access gated areas in any of the connected applications holding a single role. Before, if you set up roles in a platform like Discord you could not use the same membership structure in any other app, with the same requirements, and without members losing access in the converting process.

Being a core part of Web3 communities today, it is very important that our infrastructure is less and less reliant on centralized service providers and uses a lot more of openly available blockchain data.

Core Principles Guild's membership structure is best described using three primitives: requirements, roles, and rewards. Essentially, you can "lock up” anything with Guild if you have the key, which are the requirements.

Requirements can be on-chain like tokens, NFTs, allowlists, POAPs, or off-chain like verifiable credentials, already existing roles, social activity on Twitter and many more.

Roles are the unit, making up your Guild's membership structure, which is fully custom to every community. You can port these over for access into any other application

Rewards are a form of access to something or ability to do something. In the form of access: to exclusive groups, content, tools, or means of communication such as Discord roles, Telegram groups, Github or Google Workspace. In the form of abilities: to be able to claim an NFT, purchase merchandise or vote on a decision.

They are fully custom and free to mix and match across chains and solutions, creating unlimited combinations that make sense for your needs. And to clarify a Guild means the entirety of your community. All the roles, sub-Guilds, working groups, pods are within your own Guild, because your Guild is not restricted to one platform but it's relevant across applications. Members can authenticate once, then get automatically updated access to everything they are eligible for!
