State of the Superteam: January 2022
A quick overview of what we've been up to in January
GM folks🎊!
If we had to use one word to describe the month of January, it would be “Build”. It’s time to share all the progress we made last month and what our DAO has been shipping. LFG 🚀
SuperteamDAO is a community of creatives building the talent layer for the Solana ecosystem. We currently have more than 130 members including devs, designers, memers, writers, marketers, lawyers, and many more. 💪
January Highlights:
.💸 Community GDP: The metric we care most about is how much our Members have earned through the DAO. In the month of January alone, our community earned $20,974 as cumulative earnings crossed $100,000+. For a live look at our community GDP, check out our Earnings Dashboard.
🇮🇳 Solana India Fellowship: We collected more than 1,000 applications and uncovered 20 of the most impressive builders in India. Over the next 2 months, they’ll undergo an intense learning and building program with mentors and speakers from across the Solana ecosystem. Shoutout to core contributor Neil for overseeing the program!
👩🚀 Launching Missions: We believe the future of work revolves around small and autonomous liquid teams completing high-impact work across Web3. We’ve launched a new initiative that makes this official. Sponsors can put out an RFP and teams led by DAO Members can apply to complete the work. You can check out active missions here.
January Updates🧑💻:
Our ultimate goal as a community is to deliver impactful work for impactful projects. In the month of January, we have seen some of the stellar projects shipped:
🎥 Solana Development Series: Our superstar, Gajesh Naik, launched a Solana development series to help developers learn through building projects. Check out the cool teaser video👇
🚀 wagmi.bio: A fun way to get rid of messy wallet addresses and use simple and easy to share links. The project is growing rapidly with $15,000+ worth of transactions already processed. Start sending invoices and getting paid instantly by creating an account here. Special shoutout to our friends at Solrazr for providing the Instagrant that made this project possible!
📚 Solana Cookbook: Developer relations guru Chase Barker launched the Solana Cookbook to create a repository for Rust programmers. We’re thrilled to support the effort. Roughly 50% of the commits to the Cookbook have come directly from SuperteamDAO Members. To celebrate, we shipped a physical hoarding as well:
👨💻 Start on Solana: In partnership with our friends at Questbook, we launched Start on Solana to help devs quickly get up to speed with Rust. So far, we’ve delivered more than 600 NFTs to developers for completing coding quests.
📈 Solana Index Fund: Two of our Members, Aditya and Vaibhav, published an investment thesis for the Solana ecosystem which went live this month on Mudrex. Check it out (after doing your own research, of course) here.
👷 Bounties: We continued to work with some of the most exciting Solana projects to complete bounties. Check out the work below:
