This is a time of uncertainty for all Web3 citizens, but we’ve been hard at work building up our ecosystem and are excited to share some updates with you!

What follows is a summarised version of a much more detailed piece by our Project Lead available here: https://read.felixsim.com/p/salad-recaps-july-and-august-2022

The Work 3.0 Thesis Is Still Intact

At the peaks of the GameFi bull market, if we look beyond the frothiness, one thing was clear: work will continue to evolve and get better with blockchain.

StepN, Helium and Hivemapper are great examples of new income opportunities made possible with blockchain technology.

Salad has evolved beyond just gaming guilds and we’re looking toward the next iteration of work as we know it.

GuildOS — Alpha launch sees growing traction

Since Alpha launch, GuildOS has onboarded 12 guilds that now use it to automate processes in managing more than a thousand scholar wallets.

Down the line, we’re seeing a strong pipeline of top games that are interested in integrating with GuildOS to provide more usability for guilds. The next two game integrations would be Thetan Arena and Cyball, unlocking management of tens of thousands of scholars in their player base for managers.

We’re also working with a variety of partners like Nansen (data analytics) and DEXes to build out more useful features in the same dashboard so guilds can conduct their operations all in one place.

Salad Academy is now Apollo Academy

With over 50,000 students and more than 100,000 certificates issued to students, the Academy has outgrown its training wheels.

Topic coverage has expanded to more general Web3 and X-2-Earn content led by some of the top names in crypto with the likes of founders like Alex Svanevik, Gabby Dizon, investors like Santiago Roel and thought leaders like Mable Jiang.

Access to the Academy is currently free of charge but will eventually transition into NFT gated content for premium insights to maintain quality and ensure sustainability.

Club Salad — Crypto communities just got real

It’s our belief that IRL, face-to-face community interactions is almost as important as building out solutions fervently behind a screen.

It helps build visibility for the Salad brand, harvest valuable, unfiltered feedback on trends and products as well as expand the ecosystem toward our vision of work for the future. These interactions don’t just add to a follower count, but greater outcomes.

To date, these oversubscribed meetups and concept events like GameFi Asia span over 3 countries in the region (VN,PH,SG) seeing more than 5,000 collective attendees to date with sponsors like StepN, Monsterra, Inazuma Capital and many others.

Genesis NFTs have also been released for minting to access this community and we’re excited to continue nurturing and supporting the community to accelerate the Work 3.0 ecosystem together.
