Be like Guild, leverage token gating not for parties but for role assignment.
Guild.xyz is reshaping DAO role assignments by leveraging onchain activities. Imagine autonomously earning a DAO role not through traditional applications, but by actions like deploying contracts or active governance participation. This is a paradigm shift from the conventional employee hiring engagement.
Using Frog and the Covalent Unified API, Head of Product @jaypozo was able to build a cool little wallet visualizer! 🎨

If you’re a developer working on frames, we recommend starting with Frog, built by the folks behind Viem. @wevm

Next.js is overkill for your needs.

A thread about how @guild leverages token gating
Token gating in DAOs is a nuanced mechanism for role assignment and community engagement. Understanding the variety of tokens (governance, utility, NFTs) and their specific use cases is crucial.

Check out the work that @guild is doing to power all of the biggest DAOs and communities. Guild.xyz
It's wild how different each NFT marketplace is in handling transactions. Opensea, Blur, and Rarible each takes a different approach. In fact, Opensea's own marketplace contracts aren't even the same across the board!
Any Ethereum Typescript devs working on NFT projects?
TypeScript developers X Bored Apes this one’s for you.

Join us and over 100,000+ developers a week downloading the Viem package via npm install.
We ♥️ @wevm
Covalent tackles offchain vulnerabilities head-on by leveraging onchain hashes/checksums. This method provides a timestamped proof of NFT integrity, mitigating risks and enhancing the security of digital assets. 🛡️

This means you as a developer can spend less time thinking about data integrity at scale.

There's a twist: blob data isn't EVM-accessible & auto-deletes after ~18 days, hardcoding the window for L2 rollup verification.
You should always review standing contract approvals in your wallet.

Don't let malicious actors exploit your wallet via approvals.
Love TypeScript? Love Ethereum? Then you probably already use Viem. Over 100k developers a week download this awesome TS package.

We love it too and made sure the Unified API works out of the box.

We’ve simplified using Viem to access the unified API through the now Viem-compatible SDK!

We’re committed to providing developers with easier and easier ways to integrate the most comprehensive of chain data into their builds.
We’re in Denver till March 3!

Come chat with us!
We’re talking with developers about GoldRush and researchers about the Ethereum Wayback Machine.

Check out our blog for details.

Here’s something you can try immediately, spin up Viem and throw this code snippet at it.

Got a feeling that we’ll be talking a lot about Viem this week with EthDenver.

Come say hi 👋
This is cool, we've integrated the Covalent Client SDK with @wevm a top TypeScript library used by Ethereum devs with over 100,000+ weekly downloads!

Access balances, NFTs, historical transactions and other features in a type-safe manner.

You may not know this, but each NFT marketplace you visit takes a different approach to handling transactions.

It's wild how different each NFT marketplace is in handling transactions. Opensea, Blur, and Rarible each takes a different approach. In fact, Opensea's own marketplace contracts aren't even the same across the board!
To start us off @jaypozo and @karanpargal cooked up a little frame that shows transaction details on any Ethereum address you throw at it.

More to come.
