<aside> 🧡 Squads can be anything from a group of friends to a full-blown DAO. It’s both about talking the talk and walking the walk: create a vision, make a plan, execute, evaluate and iterate.

Be as transparent as possible about how the squad works and what it’s doing (processes, channels, discussions, etc), and communicate your results with the community!

What exactly is a squad?

A Squad is a group of people having a shared vision of developing the Nym ecosystem, led by an active Nymja or a Shinobi.

What are the benefits of joining a Squad?

Squad members are entitled to various perks and benefits throughout the course of the Nym Squad League.

⭐️ get access to special missions

⭐️ priority selection for some grants

⭐️ establish your own brand in the Nym ecosystem

How to register your own squad?

The squad creation process is simple. There are three main requirements for you to create one:

Step 1: Have an active Nymja or Shinobi representative.

Creating your own squad requires at least 1 Nymja or Shinobi who acts as your squad’s representative & PoC to the Nym team.

Step 2: Operate a mix node (and rep your squad in the name and description).

It is important for your squad to be running at least 1 Nym node with the honest parameters and name of the squad included in the node name & description. This adds a layer of trust to the nodes you’re running and helps make your squad a more prominent part of the Nym community. See this list of nodes for examples.

Step 3: State who you are as a squad and what you are here to achieve.

The next requirement is to publish your Squad’s members and the goals you want to achieve together. In other words:

All members in your squad must at least be a registered Nymster during the NSL. Once done, you’ll be able to fill out all the details in the application form below.

Step 4: Rep your squad across the Nym community.

Put your squad’s name in your display name on Discord, Telegram and Matrix. Let the community know who you represent and garner a reputation for your squad in the community.
