Guild, a cryptocurrency protocol for diverse blockchain project communities, facilitates the development and implementation of various quests, the attainment of NFTs, and other forms of rewards.
Guild bears similarity to crypto quest platforms such as Zealy and Layer3. Users can create guilds, undertake leadership roles in projects, investigate on-chain data, and master the use of various applications.
In our article, we'll explore the projects already featured on Guild and provide you with the necessary steps to get started on the platform.
Delving deeper into Guild
Guild's primary objective is to assist projects in engaging with their user base. The platform provides an array of tools and features such as:
- Migration of cryptocurrency communities to user-friendly social networks like Discord, Twitter, or Notes;
- Educational resources and guides for better understanding and application of cryptocurrency projects;
- The ability to freely establish your own guild;
- The creation of membership structures and user hierarchies within guilds;
- Assistance in monetizing personal content;
- Accessibility to all platform functions through an API.
Often, the most active users within the guilds are rewarded with branded NFTs or allocations in token sales.
Getting started: Wallet and social media integration
To start engaging with the platform, it is recommended to link your personal cryptocurrency wallet (like Metamask) to Guild. To ease future interactions with various projects, it is beneficial to integrate your personal social media accounts such as Discord, Gmail, Telegram, Twitter, your GitHub profile, and LinkedIn. Following these steps eliminates the need to continually link your resources to each new guild.

Wrapping up
Guild operates as a beneficial tool for understanding a cryptocurrency application, network, or protocol. Earning roles, securing NFTs, and participating in quests on Guild increases the probability of obtaining rewards in the form of airdrops from the project.
However, interacting with certain features of Guild, such as minting tokens, performing transactions, and deploying smart contracts, may sometimes require a financial investment. This should be taken into account prior to participating in activities.
