Official Discord & Ambassador Launch

The next phase of the community & how you can get involved

Coinciding with the upcoming launch of Meme Factory, district0x has just launched a new community Discord server. With the completion of Meme Factory, the reworking of Ethlance, and updates to d0xInfra, we’re beginning to enter a new era of district0x and community-driven marketplaces.

To better support this transition, we’ve created this new engagement channel to help educate and support the community in their journey towards creating their own districts. The new Discord server will support four languages, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English. We will be taking community contributions and feedback to make this the best community experience possible. Over time we hope to see this server become a hub for education and district creation. You can join the new Discord server HERE.

Get Started

Getting started in the Discord server is a three-step process.

1. Select the languages you would like by clicking the flag Emojis.

2. Read and accept the rules by clicking the green ‘CheckBox’ (✅) Emoji. This will unlock the main chat channel.

3. Familiarize yourself with the introductory materials and introduce yourself.

You will start leveling as you chat and share content. More channels will unlock as you level up, giving you access to more information in an easy to digest format.

The aim of this leveling process is two-fold, to keep our community clean so we can limit the influx of malicious actors and to give everyone a self-paced roadmap towards getting involved in the project. This will be an ongoing development and will evolve based on your feedback, so please let us know how we can improve using the link in the #feedback channel of Discord (unlocks at the first level).

How it works

The Discord server has been structured using an incentivized leveling process powered by the Mee6 bot. Each level will award DNT as well as a new ‘Role’ in discord that unlocks channels specific to that role. You will also find other surprises along the way so keep an eye out for Easter eggs.

As you begin to gain levels you will progress all the way through education, community involvement and ultimately begin constructing teams and so you can build districts of your own.

You will see a level specific channel called #rewards as you reach each new level. Simply post your ETH address in the channel to claim your rewards for that level. Rewards are sent out the first week of every month. For your privacy, please use a new ETH address, as others will be able to see the address.

Levels & Incentives

Each level is meant to give everyone a clean and user-friendly process of getting involved with the new Discord server and district0x as a whole. These levels are not a mandatory process. Community members who wish to opt-out of this leveling system can reach out to an admin at any time to do so. Though you will forfeit any potential DNT rewards if you “opt-out”. To do so, you will also need to have established yourself in one of our other community channels so we can ensure the safety of our community.

Let’s go over what you will get access to at each level:

Discord role: Level 一

The first level gives 100 DNT, access to the ‘Interesting content’ channel, ‘Districts’ channels, the ‘Feedback’ channel, and the use of external emojis.

Discord role: Level 二

The second level gives 200 DNT and the ‘District proposals’ channel giving people a live feed of all community submitted proposals and an introduction on how to submit your very own proposal.

Discord role: Level 三

The third level gives 300 DNT, unlocks the ‘jobs-&-bounties’ channel and the ‘Education-chat’ channel as well as the ability to post/attach files.

Discord role: Community Member

The ‘Community Member’ role is given at level four and is the final level. At this level, you get 400 DNT and a survey will unlock along with the rewards claim channel. The survey is not required but entering your Discord name and ETH address is.

This level also unlocks some moderator privileges, voice channels, community calls, access to community game nights, Spotlight Blog nominations, ‘Community Member’ only giveaways, and more.

Reach ‘Community Member’ & Get Rewarded

You will get an official district0x shirt!

The first 25 people to reach ‘Community Member’ in Discord will receive a district0x Swag Pack.

Ambassadors

With the launch of the new Discord server, we are also launching an Ambassador program. This is for long-standing community members and people who want to get involved on a deeper level. This is a moderator role for people passionate about Ethereum and decentralized marketplaces. As an Ambassador, you will set the tone for our community and have a greater say in how the Discord server develops.

If you take on this role as an Ambassador you are agreeing to the following:

Be a friendly “face” to new people. Report people and issues to admins. Offer help where possible. Help us design a great community. Follow our community rules and help communicate them

Ambassadors get immediate access to all channels on the Discord server, have greater moderator privileges, can assign roles, and have the priority speaking feature (can be heard over others in voice channels). Ambassadors can also give someone talk power instantly by using the ‘Voice’ role.

In some cases, you may even be called upon to for first access to bounties and other tasks that support the development of the Discord server and network at large.

This is an invite-only role but if you have been a long-standing community member or have expressed interest, we will be in touch. The fourth level will also give you access to a survey where you can express interest in the Ambassador program.

Roll Out Phases

This Discord server will be rolled out in the following phases:

Phase one (Education & Rewards)

We will roll out the multi-language support, rewards, and levels so we can build out the Discord server based on the feedback we receive.

Phase two (Self-assigned roles and talent pools)

We will experiment with new community models and ideas based on the feedback we receive. We will also begin rolling out a self-assigned role selection system. This will give everyone a better idea of what talents and skills you and your fellow community members possess.

This will include skills common when building or developing a project or community. Our desire is to create this support structure to help move people towards the end goal of building their own districts or contributing to already established ones. More about this can be seen on our soft roll out the live stream on the previous episode of the District Roundup.

Phase three (District and team creation)

We will begin using the talent pools and self-assigned roles to give people an easy way to find and source talent for endeavors such as new district creation, auxiliary module development, network focused or partner projects, community building, etc.

Much of this phase is going to be structured based on the feedback we receive and much will likely change. However, the roles and teams structure is meant to give everyone a foundation to build on for the next phase of the district0x network. This phase will also have an invite-only role above the Ambassadors to better facilitate the growth and development of new districts. This role will come with more responsibility and is for serious contributors to get more involved.

We look forward to hearing everyone’s feedback. You can join the new Discord server HERE.
