Overview
Guild.xyz is a powerful tool for setting up role and user management systems to bootstrap/manage communities. However, its potential is underutilized due to the time-consuming setup process.
Problem
- Lengthy Setup: Creating a guild currently takes 10–30 minutes and many manual steps.
- Barrier for Communities: Active groups find it cumbersome to organize efficiently.
Solution
Develop streamlined web applications—"guild factories"—that allow on-chain communities to create guilds quickly using templates and smart defaults.
Key Features
- Use-Case Templates: Predefined templates for artists, meme coins, NFT collections, etc.
- Smart Defaults:
- Auto-generate default roles (e.g., "Novice," "Whale").
- Auto-populate artwork and metadata from onchain and offchain data.
- Rapid Setup: Reduce guild creation time to 1–5 minutes with minimal clicks.
Example
An artist enters their Zora art coin URL into the factory app:
- The system auto-creates a guild with roles based on coin holders.
- Artwork and details are populated automatically.
Conclusion
Implementing templated guild factories will unlock Guild.xyz's full potential, making it easier for communities to organize and grow swiftly.
