Lisk Community Squad

Published on: 22.06.2021

Lisk provides information as to what led to the creation of the Community squad, the actual roles, and responsibilities of the current team members as well as an insight on how to join.

The Squad

At the moment, the Lisk Community Squad is composed of 11 individuals that prior to joining the squad were already remarkably engaged and active as moderators within the community at Lisk.chat, Discord server.

Initially, the idea for such a group was proposed by a few core community members, and later implemented by team at Lisk. At present, these are the current members:

Carbonara
Jurre | Moosty
Raphael | Moosty
Corbifex | Moosty
Liskpoland
Minions
Przemer
Tom – endro.io
TonyT908
Ultrafresh
Stellardynamic

Roles and Responsibilities

So what does the squad actually do? Well, it starts and ends with the Lisk developer community in mind. In essence, the main goal of the group is to gather feedback, put forward improvement proposals based on this, and consequently have them implemented both by the team at Lisk and also by the squad themselves as they have the freedom to do so.

Currently, the Lisk Community Squad has weekly meetings internally to discuss areas of improvement, as well as monthly calls with Lisk’s marketing team in order to discuss potential activities, changes, and opportunities for growth and improvement.

To be part of the Lisk Community Squad is to be at the forefront and the voice of Lisk’s community, and to make a positive impact on the Lisk project on a practical and consistent basis. Furthermore, every member of the squad is working voluntarily on their specific topics whereby they feel they can add the most value.

Finally, it is important to note that the squad is not at all a closed ecosystem, meaning that anyone who has similar interests and values could potentially apply and join, as long as they have the drive to contribute productively towards Lisk’s community.

How To Get Involved

According to the Lisk Community Squad, “anybody who has a positive mindset and willingness to help should be included”. Therefore, here are the main requirements for one to join the squad:

To be consistently active within the community;
Remain positive at all times;
Demonstrate a high level of interest.

As a group, although the squad has different roles and responsibilities, which generally, depending on one’s area of expertise, the whole team works together across all the channels (Discord, Telegram, and Reddit being the most important ones). This often involves moderation duties, community engagement, creating proposals, and initiatives to help the project succeed.

Lisk Squad’s Victories

Here are a few examples of Lisk’s collaboration with the Lisk Community Squad:

Recurrent meme contests
Engagement tournaments (e.g Discord leveling contest).
Online events and meetups
Consistent Discord channel updates/improvements
Many other fun activities

Since its creation, the Lisk Community Squad has played a vital role in both promoting Lisk and products to a wide audience of developers and also in engaging with existing community, promoting positivity, inclusion, and interest within the community.
