Features at Launch

Authentication and User Onboarding

• Two-stage Sign-up Process: Initiate your journey with basic access and unlock full interactive capabilities upon completing profile verification and minting your profile NFT.

User Profiles in THE GUILD

User profiles in THE GUILD are designed to be the cornerstone of user interaction and identity within the platform. Built with a focus on rich customization, security, and dynamic representation of a user’s journey, these profiles encapsulate the essence of each individual’s contributions, skills, and network within our ecosystem. Here’s a deeper dive into the features and functionalities that make user profiles in THE GUILD a central feature of our platform:

Dynamic and Customizable Profiles

• Personalization at Its Core: Users have the liberty to personalize their profiles extensively, including bio descriptions, areas of expertise, interests, and links to social media. This allows members to showcase their unique identity, professional background, and personal brand. The more detailed profiles are the more XP you earn.
• Unique NFT Avatars: Every profile is linked with a unique NFT avatar, serving as a digital representation of the user’s identity. These avatars can be minted upon joining THE GUILD and are integral to the platform’s enhanced ERC-6551s token standard, embodying the user’s reputation and achievements.
• Integration with ZKme: To ensure the utmost privacy while maintaining the integrity of interactions, user profiles are integrated with ZKme for zero-knowledge proof-based identity verification. This eliminates bots and Sybil attacks, making each interaction on the platform genuine and secure.

Rich Interaction and Engagement Tools

• Feed Tab: The feed tab acts as a dynamic bulletin, where users can post updates, share insights, or engage with the content from their network. This fosters a vibrant community atmosphere, encouraging knowledge sharing and interaction.
• Quests Tab: Specifically designed for seekers and solvers, this tab organizes and displays available quests or services offered. It simplifies navigation through job postings or service offerings, aligning with users’ skills and interests.
• Referral & Quest Stats Tab: A dedicated space to track the user’s progress in the platform’s gamified referral system and quest participation. It showcases earned XP, referral network growth, and other gamified achievements, motivating continued engagement and contribution.

Gamification and Reputation Management

• Experience Points (XP): XP tokens, a non-transferable measure of a user’s contributions, are directly linked to the user profile, reflecting their active participation and standing within THE GUILD. This XP influences access to platform features, rewards, and the tiered referral system.
• Public Achievement Display: Achievements, milestones, and the user’s reputation are publicly displayed, fostering an environment of recognition and incentivization for positive contributions to the community.
• Transparent Activity Log: Users can access a transparent log of their activities, contributions, and interactions within the platform, encouraging accountability and fostering trust within the community.

Security and Privacy

• Anti-Botting and Anti-Sybil Measures: Leveraging ZKme integration, user profiles are fortified against malicious entities, ensuring that every interaction on THE GUILD stems from verified individuals.
• Privacy-Preserving Verification: Despite the rigorous verification processes, user privacy is paramount, with ZKme ensuring that personal information remains confidential, fostering a secure yet open community.

Questboard

The Quest Board is a core feature of THE GUILD platform, designed to facilitate job postings and service offerings between Seekers (job posters) and Solvers (service providers).

Multi-Level Referral Mechanism
