BanklessDAO Weekly Project and Guild Updates Newsletter
Dear Bankless Nation,🏴
This season, guilds have been focusing on streamlining workflows and scaling. Guilds are the talent pools for BanklessDAO and drive the many projects that we are building. This week we are featuring some of the work guilds are doing, including the Translation Guild translating the growth strategy products for Index Coop’s BED and GMI index, the Design Guild working on projects for contributor alignment and creating portfolios to increase artists exposure, and the Analytics Guild deploying the DAO DASH bot in TalentDAO’s servers to provide them with community insights.
Guilds are the contact point for members to get involved and level up in BanklessDAO. They are the gears that drive us forward on our journey West. This newsletter is an invitation to see what we are working on, and your ticket to getting plugged in. We want you to get involved, share your skills, and contribute meaningfully to work that you are passionate about. It is our collective effort that sets us in motion for the long road ahead.
There are many opportunities waiting for you to get involved in these guilds. Check them out, raise your hand, grab your gear, and let’s get going.

📊 Analytics Guild | Guild Coordinator: Paulapivat
The Analytics Guild builds data products and uses data analytics to equip bDAO members to achieve our mission with data-driven intelligence. They also incubated DAO DASH.
Updates
The Analytics Guild incubated the DAO DASH project to serve as their data ecosystem to establish patterns using on-chain and off-chain sources. In Season 3, they intend to provide insights for bDAO as they strengthen their infrastructure to service partners.
They recently rolled out the DAO DASH bot to TalentDAO servers to commence delivery of insights to their community. The project has begun scaling through such activities.
Roadblocks
They intend to provide more insights into the bDAO community behaviour. So, they are looking for help with Coordinape data and interconnected insights within that. Contributors who have administered DAO-wide or guild-wide Coordinape rounds, please reach out to @paulapivat or @Simon McKethanor.

They have conducted seven introductory meetings with project champions to help them understand how Retrospectives work and how they create value for the project and the DAO.
