What is RaidGuild

RaidGuild is the premier web3 and AI collective of builders, dreamers, and adventurers. Born from MetaCartel, forged through battle-tested projects, we are DAO-native, deeply magical, and relentlessly shipping at the intersection of crypto and artificial intelligence.

Our guild operates as a decentralized collective where skilled developers, designers, and strategists come together to build the future of web3 and AI. We believe in the power of collaboration, continuous learning, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in both the decentralized world and the age of artificial intelligence.

Through our cohort program, we've created an async onboarding experience that allows adventurers from around the world to join our ranks, earn their stripes through meaningful contributions in crypto, web3, and AI projects, and level up their skills alongside fellow guild members who are shaping the future of both technologies.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a curious newcomer to the web3 and AI space, RaidGuild provides the community, resources, and opportunities you need to thrive in the decentralized, AI-powered future.

How It Works
No deadlines. No seasons. Just your quest.

The RaidGuild Cohort is an always-on, choose-your-own-adventure onboarding path into the Guild. Complete quests at your own pace, earn magical badges, and rise through the ranks until you're ready to become a full-fledged member of the collective.

Choose Your Path
Start anytime. Whether you're a front-end sorcerer, smart contract wizard, pixel druid, or content bard — there's a place for you in the Guild.

Pick from a wide range of activities:

  • • Weekly Vibe Coding challenges
  • • Team builds and demo submissions
  • • Guild ops missions
  • • Mentor events and community rituals
Earn Your Badges
Each quest completed earns you a badge — proof of your skill, contribution, and collaboration.

These aren't just achievements; they track your growth across three apprentice tiers:

Level 1
Entry rituals and social contribution
Level 2
Project work, mentorship, and operations
Level 3
Real impact — from shipping apps to hunting clients

You'll also receive custom badges from your peers and mentors as props, 1-ups, and rewards for legendary moments.

Progress Toward Membership
When you've earned at least one badge from each apprentice level, secured a current Guild member as your champion, and submitted a proposal to the DAO — you're ready to ascend.

Guild membership unlocks:

  • • Voting and proposal rights
  • • Client and project leadership
  • • Share in the Guild's success (and possible dividends)
  • • A literal place in the lore
Get Rewarded
Your journey is filled with treasures
  • • Badges and leaderboard glory
  • • Access to special channels, tools, and allies
  • • CookieJar rewards and bounties
  • • A reputation in the broader web3 space

The more you build, lead, and share — the closer you get to mastering your craft and earning your place among the Guild's legendary members.

❓ FAQ – Frequently Asked Quests

Your burning questions about the guild, answered by our wisest sages

If I complete all the quests, am I guaranteed to become a core member?
Not quite. Completing the quests gets you eligible — you'll still need a current member to champion you and the DAO to approve your proposal. We're not a vending machine, we're a guild. Reputation and vibes matter.
Can I invest in RaidGuild?
Yes — soon. Accredited investors will be able to buy non-voting shares in the future. Governance remains in the hands of core members, but profit-sharing and dividends may be part of the equation.
Can I add RaidGuild to my resume or LinkedIn?
If you're an apprentice, go for it. Just note that full membership is earned through the questline, not granted automatically. We love to see our adventurers flexing their journeys.
Do I own the work I do in the cohort?
Yes — by default, everything we make in the cohort is open source and belongs to the community. But the ideas, prototypes, and learnings you create are ultimately yours to run with. We just ask you credit the Guild if it was born here.
Can my cohort project graduate into the RaidGuild Incubator?
Absolutely — if it's good. If your project shows promise, alignment with the Guild's mission, and you're ready to take it to the next level, we'll help you forge it into a full-fledged startup or public good.
What does the subscription include?
The first 100 apprentices get lifetime access for free. After that, access to the async quest system, badges, mentorship, and events will require a small monthly fee. Total membership is capped at 1,000 adventurers, with 250 core members max.
Is there a deadline or season?
Nope. Start whenever. Move at your own pace. Complete the quests when you're ready. This is your hero's journey.
Who is this for?
Developers (frontend, backend, smart contracts), Designers (UX/UI, graphic, motion), Writers, PMs, BizDev folks, and curious creatives who want to break into web3 with purpose and a squad.
Is this a Discord server?
We have a Discord, yes — but this isn't just another server. It's a path, a game, a guild, and a gateway into the most legendary builder collective in web3.
If I signed up for the old cohort program do I need to sign up again?
Yes...
