1/ Composing Your Collective

The Web3 wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Gnosis multi-sig) the admin used to create the collective on Syndicate is the collective's wallet.
Your collective's contract address is the alphanumeric value in your collective's URL.
For example, if your URL is 'app.syndicate.io/collectives/0xe96d9e90aae6769f6b01f92ea313014de1bffe0b,' then 0xe96d9e90aae6769f6b01f92ea313014de1bffe0b is your contract adddress.

2/ Managing Your Collective

Collectives are inherently social. Members of your collective will most likely be discussing various community events, social experiences, and, if you use your collective to token-gate an investment club, investment opportunities, portfolio updates, sales decisions, due diligence, and much more on a regular basis. You'll likely need a messaging platform to house this communication━here are some options:
  1. 1.
    Create a Telegram group. Many web3 communities today begin with a Telegram group (or a group chat on a similar app). This is simply a way to centralize conversations for the community, but it also enables simple voting, event management, etc.
  2. 2.
    Create a Discord server. At a certain scale, simple group chats can become unwieldy. Discord servers have become the go-to way for web3 communities to talk, work, and build. Many collectives use Discord as their home base.
  3. 3.
    Create a Discourse. Sometimes synchronous conversation doesn't fit the needs of a collective. Discourse, or other forum software, allows for more long-form, persistent conversations within a community and can either be used in conjunction with a group chat or completely independently.
Regardless of your choice, having a way for collective members to communicate is absolutely critical.

3/ Managing Membership

These tools are intended to help collectives manage their membership, help maintain compliance, and account for uncommon situations. Uses of these tools for other intended purposes should be consulted with their legal and tax advisors.

Adding members

Removing members
