# WHO WE ARE
When you look around the web3 space and see all the amazing teams building for an open metaverse, it becomes apparent that one thing is missing. Because while each of these teams is working on incredible, amazingly creative things, very few of them are doing it together, out in the open.

With NEON Labs, we aim to change that. Incubated by NEON DAO and a handful of the best builders in Web3, our guild aims to bring together architects, 3D creators, and open metaverse builders of all kinds, in order to better:

1.) Support development of decentralized spaces
2.) Empower a diverse network of individual builders
3.) Collaborate with and onboard major brands, established IP, etc.

All in all NEON Labs will be an ongoing experiment, where web3 builders of all kinds can come together to not only collaborate on projects and eventually commissions, but also to learn and share new skills with like-minded creators.

# HOW WE'RE GETTING STARTED

To plant our flag in the space and bring all this together, we're hosting a Buildathon, starting on ______. The focus of this first Buildathon will be to rally different types of builders together to show what we're capable of, and to collaboratively build out a new "Dark Mode" space within the Metaverse (a feature that's everywhere online, but somehow not yet in 3D spaces). This "Dark Mode" theme will come to life for the first time with the use of OpenBrush (a derivative made from the open source code of Tilt Brush), which allows users to paint in virtual reality. Additionally,  in order to make the Buildathon, Open Brush and all of this more accessible, NEON Builders Guild will be holding regular instructional sessions ranging from how to get started in 3D to topics like generative architecture.

Three weeks after the start of the Buildathon, we'll wrap the official competition, and allow our designated judges to review all "Dark Mode" builds and pick three different winners to receive ETH prizes. However, after the three week competition period, our Buildathon space will remain open and as is, so that all types of creators can continue to come back to this space to experiment and work together without constraints.

# JOIN US

#### 
It may sound corny, but we're stronger together, and if the end game really is to build something that can in turn be built on for years to come, we need to be coordinating wide, instead of working in individual silos. With that being said, if you’re an open metaverse builder or 3D creator interested in working with us in any capacity and/or learning more, please swing by [the Discord](https://discord.gg/ePymgKxG), and say what's up!

Lastly, feel free to reach out to members@neondao.xyz with any/all questions.
