<aside> 𧥠Squads can be anything from a group of friends to a full-blown DAO. Itâs 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 itâs doing (processes, channels, discussions, etc), and communicate your results with the community!

A Squad is a group of people having a shared vision of developing the Nym ecosystem, led by an active Nymja or a Shinobi.
Squad members are entitled to various perks and benefits throughout the course of the Nym Squad League.
âď¸ get access to special missions
âď¸ priority selection for some grants
âď¸ establish your own brand in the Nym ecosystem
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 squadâs 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 youâre 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 Squadâs 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, youâll be able to fill out all the details in the application form below.
Step 4: Rep your squad across the Nym community.
Put your squadâs 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.
Awesome! Once youâve filled out this form, your squad will be added to the official squadsâ directory after getting approved. You can then start completing special missions and grants as a squad member.
Weâve collected a list of tips and some suggestions, what different members from a squad can do that maximizes current impact of its members combined.
