Sponsor: Streamr
The missing data pipelines of Web3
It’s all very well calling your product a dApp, but if it still relies on centralised servers to handle the data, is it really decentralized? This is what Streamr solves, adding a much needed real-time data availability component to Web3. Chat protocols, P2P gaming, many-to-many pipelines, network analytics, event based notifications — simply plug in to the js-client and let our 5,000 strong network of node runners do the rest. We believe truly peer-to-peer, scalable, pub/sub messaging is the way to build. Sign up to the developer newsletter and join our community of data pioneers or click here to learn more.

Guild News
Designers
Project Updates / Announcements
Design & Product will cease to exist as a guild. New goal-oriented structures are being created, and they will take the spotlight soon. The main reason for this is that there is no active engagement of designers.
It will be preserved as a social and onboarding hub for designers and product managers because the guild does work as a starting point for designers and PMs and has been helpful as a touch point for Design & Product job openings, projects looking for designers, bounties and tasks rewarded with $CODE, and similar issues.
Governance
Project Updates / Announcements
The DAO Governance Structure Upgrade is now available on the forum. Make an effort to read it and become acquainted with how it aims to improve our DAO.
