SlingShot Squadron

The SlingShot Squadron, a special unit of the community dedicated to the success of SlingShot DAO, has been going strong for over a month and a half. This elite team is comprised of the most devoted members who have volunteered for key roles such as Onboarding Newcomers, Content Creation, Event Assistance, and Server Moderation.

Squadron members are eligible for Engagement Rewards, earning from a $1000 USDC pool for active participation, along with additional perks and roles within our server.

Those interested in joining the ranks can apply through a form. If you’re looking for a detailed overview of the operational aspects and roles, you can read about it in the general guide.

It’s important to note that membership in the Squadron is upheld by the highest standards. Roles and titles are under constant review by the Squadron Commander, a key figure within our community who maintains the integrity of the SlingShot Squadron, and can be revoked at any time if members aren’t completing their missions. This initiative is designed to enhance our community’s engagement and effectiveness, driving SlingShot DAO towards greater achievements.
