Date Posted: 7/ 17 / 2022
Summary
Ops Guild is responsible for the workstreams which make BanklessDAO a safer, more productive, and friendly place. We fix things before they’re broken, and we plan for the future. Without a properly functioning ops team, many of the integrations we’ve learned to rely on become vulnerable to failure. We are safety and security driven, with optimization in mind.
Main responsibilities include: bots, cartography, comms, tooling, member compensation, membership perks, community management, documenting efficiencies between Guilds and DAOs, seasonal planning, surveying and analyzing behaviors and sentiments within the DAO
Highlights of S4 include continuously defining and improving Op’s Guild processes on an iterative basis, creating and implementing new roles as they are ideated, and providing ongoing DAO Support. This season has gone smoothly with no major crises, controversy, or security breaches and we are consistently exploring new ways to improve the DAO.
Operations Guild has and will continue to be a pillar of strength for the community providing public goods for the health and well-being of the DAO. We study what has worked, what hasn’t, and make changes accordingly through the B-dip standard. We are constantly improving and defining our scope of work as well as making our current processes and frameworks as efficient as possible.

Work streams:
-
Survey Analyser
- (NPS) is a widely used market research metric that typically takes the form of a single survey question asking respondents to rate the likelihood that they would recommend a company, product, or a service to a friend or colleague.
-
GM.xyz Admin
- Growing the bDAO community: A trusted source of information and place to engage in discussions for web3 users outside of bDAO
- Web3 native internal communication: A lot of our DAOtooling are legacy products (i.e. Discourse Forum) that could be replaced with token-gated sections within the GM bDAO Community. This would follow the path to decentralization of our communication infrastructure and also minimize the risks that come with open accessible web2 solutions like Discourse
