Introduction

What Guild is, and the idea behind it.

Guild is where a community lives and decides who gets what. You set the rules once, and Guild checks every member's wallets and social accounts against them and keeps their access up to date.

What Guild is

A guild is a home for your community on Guild. Members sign in, connect the wallets and accounts they want checked, and join. From then on, Guild works out which roles they qualify for and gives them what those roles unlock: Discord roles, Telegram groups, points, secrets, NFTs, gated pages and more.

Projects use Guild to:

  • gate Discord servers, Telegram groups and pages to token holders, contributors or customers
  • run quests and campaigns that reward real onchain and social activity
  • give members a clear path from newcomer to core contributor
  • keep bots and farmers out with requirements that are hard to fake
  • understand who their members are across wallets and social accounts

Roles are the keys

Everything in a guild is built from three pieces:

  • Requirements decide who gets a role. Hold a token, follow an account on X, have a Discord role, make transactions on a chain, hold another role in the guild, and many more.
  • Roles group the people who meet a role's requirements. A role can ask for all of its requirements or any of them.
  • Rewards are what a role unlocks. When a member gets the role, they get its rewards. When they lose it, they lose them.

Members gain and lose roles on their own as they meet or stop meeting the requirements. You don't add or remove anyone by hand.

Spaces

A guild's pages appear as spaces in the guild's sidebar, and the home page is the first one. A page can be open to everyone, or locked behind roles. A page can also be a feed, an announcements channel or a chat, so your members can talk inside the guild itself.
