S2 E8: Guild: Building the Infrastructure Layer for Online Communities (Reka)

DAOn the Rabbit Hole

On this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re talking with Reka, Co-Founder of Guild. Guild is an automated membership management tool for web2 and web3 communities across all communication platforms.

We dive into Guild’s core principles - user experience, interoperability, security, and privacy, as Reka explains what Guild is, how it works, and why it’s successful. We discuss how Guild is becoming the default membership layer of web3 and how it’s embracing web2.

We discuss the fundamental differences between the business models of web2 and web3 companies, and Anay touches on the concept of the 1000 true fans. Reka walks us through what it’s like to use Guild both as a community manager and a community member, and we dive into topics like access control, privacy, composability, and user journey.

We touch on the role of membership in DAOs and how Guild can help combat many of the challenges DAOs face today.
