tl;dr: The Talisman Sentinels program will continue in Q1 of 2022 with Phase 2. Community members can apply to join the Paraverse Watch and Signals Corps teams, and be rewarded for their contributions. We are also seeking a captain for Signals Corp. See more below.

Greetings Talisman Community!

As we’ve previously discussed here, we are taking an iterative approach to community building, and our long term goal is decentralisation and community-ownership. After consultation with the community, we’re rolling out a revamped Talisman Sentinels initiative.

We’re inviting everybody from the DotSama community to participate in Sentinels: Phase 2. Click here to apply for community roles in either of our two Sentinel teams; The Paraverse Watch and the Signals Corps. If you are keen to get involved in shaping and building the future of Talisman, then join us on the second leg of this journey: Help us seek the Talisman and get rewarded.

What’s new?

Work Scopes — Clear areas of work downstream Talisman’s core objectives for people seeking to contribute.

Teams — Independently-organized Sentinel teams with well-defined budget and roles.

Captains — Teams will have their own leaders who will coordinate team activities. These captains will be communicating closely with the Guardians to ensure ongoing alignment.

Incentives — Contributing Sentinels will be compensated in USDC as well as the newly introduced Commendations NFTs, which will honour outstanding contributions to Talisman.

Commendations

In order to create an accurate and timely on-chain record of contributions from community members, we are introducing commendations. These valuable NFTs will be distributed by Sentinels and Guardians, respectively. We intend use them as a community identity tool that will enable us to form stronger relationships with our contributors and reward ongoing contributions.
