SEASON 6 SUMMARY
- We continued with the knowledge session to upskill dev guild members. We also had smart contract book club sessions.
- We also have the Madhatter project from the Dev Guild, which is still ongoing.
- We hosted several meetings discussing development, governance, project operations, guild membership tracking, and guild operations and initiatives.
- We had a partnership with alchemy (a distribution of dev courses to interested active members in the guild).
- The guild was able to come with a project idea,that would serve as good tool for the dao at large but it is still at the early stage
