Guild Description & Mission/Value Alignment
The BanklessDAO Developer’s Guild serves as a focal point for developer talent and developer related activities that support the growth, value, and initiatives of the BanklessDAO community. The guild also serves as an on-ramp for developers to participate in a number of projects and initiatives within the DAO.
Seasonal Summary
Previous Season Activities
Cohort Sessions
One key focus for the guild this season was to kick-start the Cohort sessions; which are essentially knowledge sessions categorized based on developer interest and experience. Its purpose was to drive activity within members of the guild, while encouraging learning and personal development. The sessions were essentially divided into three categories based on interest; Front-end, Web3 intermediate, and Web3 advanced. This season saw the start of the Front-end cohort for developers interested in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, with members coming in to share ideas and resources, as well as learn and improve their skills.
Here is the link to the channel Discord where the conversations are ongoing.
Dev related articles
The development-focused article was crafted in the midst of season 9 with the intention of enhancing engagement, increasing participation, and educating both internal and external members on various developments in the technology world. Our talent coordinator meticulously curated the topics, and the initiative is now underway. We intend to collaborate with the editorial team {bankless publishing]to diligently edit the content before its release. Our goal is to generate weekly social media posts from the article to revitalize our inactive Twitter page and encourage active participation.here are some of the link to the articles waiting to be published

First quest
New members joining the guild are guided through a well-organized and intuitive first quest process.
The first quest equips new developers with fundamental GitHub skills, such as installing dependencies on their local PC, cloning GitHub repositories, and making push and pull requests. These skills are invaluable and go a long way in helping new developers throughout their entire career.

Internal Project
BanklessStack Project
The B-Stack project is a web-based platform designed to, in its initial development, serve as a comprehensive portfolio and hiring platform for developers of all stacks and experience levels. The platform aims to bridge the gap between project owners and skilled developers, providing an opportunity for developers to showcase their expertise and for employers to find the perfect fit for their projects. It is tied to the current Developer’s Guild First Quest Task. The project has a ton of exciting prospects (including Discord bot integration and onchain credentials) and room for expansion as we continue to build.

Previous Season DAO Updates
We do not have any updates on the CC slides for the previous season, but we will definitely do so moving forward.
Next Season Plan
Cohort sessions
Next season, the guild aims to improve on the Front-end cohort sessions and web3 intermediate sessions, as well as increase activity within the guild with the aid of dev article writings and social media posts.
The cohort sessions stand to invigorate and revitalize the guild if they are executed well. The sessions will become fundamental moving pillars on which the guild will function coming next season in such a way that they become basic requirements for every guild member in addition to completing the First Quest.
The two major cohort groups we look to get active next season (Front-end & Solidity) will bring in lots of improvements in terms of activities, guild engagement, and value.
Some key outputs expected from the Cohort groups are:
- Content creation - Biweekly coding articles on key technical coding problems (via Medium, substack etc.)
- Weekly bounty and challenges - Weekly cohort session calls will be accompanied by bounties and quests each member has to complete.
- Seasonal Project - There will be a seasonal project requirement for the cohort teams, which will enhance collaboration, improve skills and also determine actual impact.
- Participating in external programs as a team - Each cohort team could collaborate and participate in external funding programs such as hackathons.
A proposal was created by a member of the guild to boost participation and engagement within the guild and this has been included as part of our bounty pool stated above
