The process only takes ~30 sec. Please follow these steps: 1. Head to https://guild.xyz/dd 2. Connect your wallet 3. Click on the green button that says 'Join Guild to get roles' 4. Navigate back into our server — by clicking on the 'Go to server' button when it appears 5. Finally, click on the 'Join Developer DAO' button that you see. Thank you!

Eden is looking for global user research
Eden is the ultimate talent coordination protocol for DAOs, providing a place where everyone can grow through work they love, thanks to our two-way person-project matching system. This system is Eden's core, built from an ML-driven assistant, a platform-like interface, and some epic protocol-mechanics. We have 25+ contributors, the majority of which are members of D_D. Since we're a community-oriented protocol we take user feedback very seriously. On that note, we're launching a new initiative - Global User Research - join us on a quick 30-min session with one of our Product Managers and make a real impact on the product. Please fill out this Typeform, and one of our team members will reach out to you.
