How to Join Retail DAO

Step 1: Join the Discord Server​

  • Visit our Discord_server.
  • Follow the onboarding instructions in the “start here” channel to verify your account and agree to the community rules.
  • What You Get: Access to public (read only) channels and announcements.
  • Note: Most channels, such as governance forums, alpha channels, and weekly calls, are token-gated and require holding $RETAIL tokens.

Step 2: Acquire $RETAIL Tokens​

To unlock token-gated channels and participate fully in Retail DAO (e.g., governance, weekly calls, and high-value discussions), you need to hold $RETAIL tokens. Here are the ways to acquire them:

Option 1: Earn Free Tokens via Airdrop Campaigns​

  • Participate in campaigns like, for example, the 2-for-1 Airdrop on QuestN.

Option 2: Purchase $RETAIL Tokens on Uniswap​

  • How to Buy:
    • Visit Uniswap and connect your wallet (e.g., MetaMask).
    • Select the $RETAIL token pair from our liquidity pools.
    • Swap ETH for $RETAIL tokens. DO NOT use other cryptocurrencies like USDC to avoid extreme slippage!!
  • Note: Ensure you’re using the official $RETAIL token contract address, available in our Tokenomics documentation, to avoid scams.

Option 3 (after becoming a Verified Member): Contribute Meaningfully to Retail DAO​

  • Make valuable contributions to the DAO, such as:
    • Discussing, submitting high-quality governance proposals.
    • Sharing alpha insights in the Alpha Zone channels.
    • Participating in community initiatives or helping with DAO projects.
  • Contributions are reviewed by the community or moderators, and rewards in $RETAIL tokens may be granted based on impact and quality.
  • Check the Governance and Voting Mechanisms pages for ways to get involved.

Step 3: Unlock Token-Gated Channels​

  • Token-Gated Access:
    • Holding $RETAIL tokens grants access to exclusive Discord channels, including:
      • Alpha Zone channels for high-value crypto discussions.
      • Governance forums for submitting and voting on proposals.
      • Weekly community calls for updates and networking.
  • The CollabLand bot verifies your token balance to unlock these channels every 24 hours.
  • How to Set Up:
    • Connect your wallet to the CollabLand bot in our collabland-join Discord channel.
    • Ensure your wallet holds at least 20,000 $RETAIL tokens.
    • The bot will automatically grant access to token-gated channels based on your balance.
  • For more instructions on how to buy $RETAIL on Uniswap and the CollabLand verification process, watch this tutorial
  • Note: Token requirements for specific channels may vary.

Step 4: After Getting Your Membership Role​

  • Read all the instructions in the start here channel and ⁠⁠faq-and-rules channel.
  • Then, register your Base wallet address to participate in our rewards programs (XP, bounties, etc). Otherwise we CANNOT send you any token rewards. Follow the steps to do so in the leaderboard channel.
