Raid Guild ⚔️

SPRING ⏩/// On the verge of shifting seasons, the meta also changes quickly and we'll soon fuck around to find out how this convergence of AI impacts our future. RaidGuild persists, building since 2019 (!!!), learning, earning - failing and falling at times -

@sodofi_ less talk, more collab ⚔️

what are the best builder communities i should be talking to? would love to collab

@sodofi_ ⚔️

who are the best teams building for agents? respond below if you want to be part of something new

We’re preparing for the next RaidGuild Cohort. Every time we start a new one, I’m reminded how strange this format is compared to trad education. It’s shared learning. Builders exploring real problems together. This time we’re going deeper into real-world use cases of AI automation and distributed infra, with sponsors who are genuinely aligned with that direction. If you’re curious about joining, feel free to reach out and check out @RaidGuild

@EF_ESP look forward to submitting and building ⚔️

📢New RFP: We're looking for a team to build the RFP Hub, an open, neutral aggregation layer that collects funding opportunities across the web3 ecosystem and and turns them into an accessible standard format, accessible through a public API, and documented data exports.

@cryptoLumenati @RaidGuild @EthereumDenver

📷 Hear ye, Raiders and allied adventurers! A textile siege has been declared. @RaidGuild is launching a patch & stitch incursion on BuidlCity at the #ETHDenver2026 main event — HIGH NOON, Thursday & Friday.

The @RaidGuild sigil lights up the Denver sky. A summoning ritual for @EthereumDenver. The premier OG blockchain design and dev agency. A decentralized collective of mercenaries slaying web3 product demons since 2020. raidguild.org

🏔️🍕🥳 At the party, expect chill vibes, pizza, drinks, and art. Sign up at rsv.pizza/ethdenver - ask a friend from one of our cohosts above or at @RaidGuild or @zapper_fi for the password.

we're not quitting continue shipping ⚔️

> the industry needs to support the people that do this. Not just give them head pats. Like actually support them.

The war against Moloch is a war against ourselves - against the parts of us that hoard, that extract marrow from the commons, that cannibalize shared resources for private warmth, that optimize privately while the world burns globally. We’ve organized ourselves into a collective specifically to create conditions where cooperation becomes the rational choice, where building for the commons becomes incentivized, where the tools we forge can be wielded by anyone fighting the same enemy. @ehcywsivart, wtf is RaidGuild 2026 blog.traviswyche.com/p/what-the-fuc…

@RaidGuild How to join

This is our mythological operating system. We form raid parties. We prepare for battle. Client quest after client quest, we hone our skills - design, development, research, strategy, mechanism design—and we fucking slay demons. The gaming vocabulary carries the weight of that history. Many of us grew up playing video games, finding community through the shimmering mirror portal of computer interfaces, connecting with people across the world in ways that felt alienating to outsiders but profoundly communal to us. That experience shaped how we think about collaboration, about parties assembling for shared purpose, about the metagame. The metagame matters.

@cobie raid raid raid the real alpha here

There should perhaps be a psychological study on the people that pick out random words from your tweets and make coins from them like quick guys he said toothpaste quick raid raid raid, but then they get annoyed and say how come you aren’t supporting toothpaste token when you previously used the word toothpaste in a sentence

@Snapcrackle @EthereumDenver working out details for catered dinner at the church of @joinwebzero

Who's gonna be at @EthereumDenver?

@NYSE forward into the 21st century 🔜

Today, NYSE is proud to announce the development of a platform for trading and on-chain settlement of tokenized securities. NYSE’s new digital platform will enable tokenized trading experiences, including 24/7 operations, instant settlement, orders sized in dollar amounts, and stablecoin-based funding. Its design combines the NYSE’s cutting-edge Pillar matching engine with blockchain-based post-trade systems. Learn more: businesswire.com/news/home/2026…

@VitalikButerin we're a service DAO, grinding since 2019 but more importantly, we're a community of people that still care

We need more DAOs - but different and better DAOs. The original drive to build Ethereum was heavily inspired by decentralized autonomous organizations: systems of code and rules that lived on decentralized networks that could manage resources and direct activity, more efficiently and more robustly than traditional governments and corporations could. Since then, the concept of DAOs has migrated to essentially referring to a treasury controlled by token holder voting - a design which "works", hence why it got copied so much, but a design which is inefficient, vulnerable to capture, and fails utterly at the goal of mitigating the weaknesses of human politics. As a result, many have become cynical about DAOs. But we need DAOs. * We need DAOs to create better oracles. Today, decentralized stablecoins, prediction markets, and other basic building blocks of defi are built on oracle designs that we are not satisfied with. If the oracle is token based, whales can manipulate the answer on a subjective issue and it becomes difficult to counteract them. Fundamentally, a token-based oracle cannot have a cost of attack higher than its market cap, which in turn means it cannot secure assets without extracting rent higher than the discount rate. And if the oracle uses human curation, then it's not very decentralized. The problem here is not greed. The problem is that we have bad oracle designs, we need better ones, and bootstrapping them is not just a technical problem but also a social problem. * We need DAOs for onchain dispute resolution, a necessary component of many types of more advanced smart contract use cases (eg. insurance). This is the same type of problem as price oracles, but even more subjective, and so even harder to get right. * We need DAOs to maintain lists. This includes: lists of applications known to be secure or not scams, lists of canonical interfaces, lists of token contract addresses, and much more. * We need DAOs to get projects off the ground quickly. If you have a group of people, who all want something done and are willing to contribute some funds (perhaps in exchange for benefits), then how do you manage this, especially if the task is too short-duration for legal entities to be worth it? * We need DAOs to do long-term project maintenance. If the original team of a project disappears, how can a community keep going, and how can new people coming in get the funding they need? One framework that I use to analyze this is "convex vs concave" from vitalik.eth.limo/general/2020/1… . If the DAO is solving a concave problem, then it is in an environment where, if faced with two possible courses of action, a compromise is better than a coin flip. Hence, you want systems that maximize robustness by averaging (or rather, medianing) in input from many sources, and protect against capture and financial attacks. If the DAO is solving a convex problem, then you want the ability to make decisive choices and follow through on them. In this case, leaders can be good, and the job of the decentralized process should be to keep the leaders in check. For all of this to work, we need to solve two problems: privacy, and decision fatigue. Without privacy, governance becomes a social game (see vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/0… ). And if people have to make decisions every week, for the first month you see excited participation, but over time willingness to participate, and even to stay informed, declines. I see modern technology as opening the door to a renaissance here. Specifically: * ZK (and in some cases MPC/FHE, though these should be used only when ZK along cannot solve the problem) for privacy * AI to solve decision fatigue * Consensus-finding communication tools (like pol.is, but going further) AI must be used carefully: we must *not* put full-size deepseek (or worse, GPT 5.2) in charge of a DAO and call it a day. Rather, AI must be put in thoughtfully, as something that scales and enhances human intention and judgement, rather than replacing it. This could be done at DAO level (eg. see how deepfunding.org works), or at individual level (user-controlled local LLMs that vote on their behalf). It is important to think about the "DAO stack" as also including the communication layer, hence the need for forums and platforms specially designed for the purpose. A multisig plus well-designed consensus-finding tools can easily beat idealized collusion-resistant quadratic funding plus crypto twitter. But in all cases, we need new designs. Projects that need new oracles and want to build their own should see that as 50% of their job, not 10%. Projects working on new governance designs should build with ZK and AI in mind, and they should treat the communication layer as 50% of their job, not 10%. This is how we can ensure the decentralization and robustness of the Ethereum base layer also applies to the world that gets built on top.
