Since announcing the WAX Guild Candidate Showcase last month, we’ve received submissions for a variety of top-tier projects that showcase the value WAX Guild Candidates can bring to the WAX Platform and WAX Community.

The 11 projects listed below have been accepted into the WAX Guild Candidate Showcase. The WAX Guild Candidates behind each project will be voted in as either WAX Guilds or standby guilds (depending on the section they are listed in). As a reminder, we launched this initiative as a temporary measure to add new WAX Guild Candidates into the top 21 for block producer positions. However, before the office of the Inspector General is fully live and operational, the WAX team needs a way to identify who the most valuable WAX Guild Candidates are - ones who will bolster the WAX ecosystem to reach the goal of achieving mass adoption. During this temporary period (until the office of the Inspector General is filled and this neutral third-party can evaluate WAX Guild Candidates’ contribution to the ecosystem), we will be voting on WAX Guilds based on their participation in the WAX Guild Candidate Showcase.



We believe this is the best possible short-term initiative to benefit both the WAX community as well as WAX Guild candidates who can begin producing blocks and therefore earning WAX Guild Rewards sooner (rather than waiting for the office of the Inspector General to be filled in the near future).

You can read more about the WAX Guild Candidate Showcase and the Office of the Inspector General here.

WAX Guilds:

WAX Guild #1 - BlockMatrix

BlockMatrix will port over to WAX their EOS INFRA scalable infrastructure, which currently has hundreds of clients and serving 1,000 requests per second.

WAX Guild #2 - Aloha EOS

Aloha EOS will provide an accurate guild-fed on-chain price oracle, DelphiOracle, for any WAX dApp to consume. This is important because accurate on-chain price feed data is useful for many dApps, such as DEX and stablecoin projects.

EOS Nation will do the following:

- Create a news site and podcast for all things WAX similar to EOS Hot Sauce.

- Encourage interoperability with other blockchains by using "validation checks" that are similar to other EOSIO blockchains (only differing when specifically needed) and validating that WAX Guilds have their publicly-visible infrastructure configured appropriately.

- Add WAX integration to EOS Detective, which puts forensic data analysis for the WAX Blockchain at anyone’s fingertips

- Provide a tool for the Office of the Inspector General to research WAX Guild performance data, aiding them in making informed and objective decisions when grading WAX Guild candidates.
