--- tags: Raid Guild --- # State of the Raid :fire: July 2023 Are you still clocking time into a job that dictates what you can and can't do? Are you trying to recruit talent and wondering where all the good builders went? Season 6 Apprentices are hacking their way to the cohort finish line 😎 [Demo Day](https://discord.com/events/684227450204323876/1123999992097546260) is their chance to show off everything they've been working on! Plan on attending Thursday, July 13, at 15:00 UTC! Raiders, friends and recruiters are welcome to attend ⚔️ ![](https://i.imgur.com/pJx33dw.png) ### Keyp 🍩 We started hacking with [Keyp](https://www.usekeyp.com/) at EthDenver 2023 and it's continued into the Season 6 Apprentice Cohort! With the use of simple API calls to verify users, create, transfer & airdrop assets, there's so many use cases to implement Keyp, like games, OAuth logins, credit card payments and anything that is challenged with Web3 onboarding. As a sponsor of the cohort, Keyp put bounties up on the board and has been available for mentoring and collaborations 👐🏾 ### Hats Protocol 🎩 Everyone is excited about [Hats Protocol](https://twitter.com/hatsprotocol), the solution for managing accountability and authority for DAO contributor roles! Raiders want to build with it, DAOists want to experiment with it and apprentices are hacking on it! Hats Protocol is also sponsoring and offering bounties for the apprentice cohort 🙌🏾 ### FUX 🍑 [FUX](https://fux.gg/) is a new project out of [Raid Guild](https://www.raidguild.org/) that helps teams signal availability, something greatly needed in decentralized and autonomous organizations. The FUX team has been hacking with apprentices! Check out what they've been building at [demo day](https://discord.com/events/684227450204323876/1123999992097546260)! ### Public Nouns 👾 Public Nouns is the Nouns fork that is dedicating their growing treasury to supporting public goods. You can support their efforts by [collecting pNouns](https://publicnouns.wtf/) at the twice daily auction! As builders for public goods, Raid Guild received a grant from Public Nouns to run the apprentice cohort! ### CollabLand 🤖 [CollabLand](https://www.collab.land/) is the management tool for communities with skin in the game. It's also a Season 6 Apprentice Cohort sponsor, that provides [support to build mini apps and web apps with the platform](https://dev.collab.land/docs/intro/). ### Build DAO 💻 Build DAO members come from the Near builders academy, and also sponsored this apprentice cohort. Builders supporting builders 🤝🏾 [Register](https://near.social/#/hack.near/widget/Academy) to stay updated about their workshops and hackathons. ### MetaCartel 🌶 So many projects out of [MetaCartel](https://www.metacartel.org/) have been built with ⚔️ from Raiders! We 🙏🏾 the honor and responsibility towards a future of decentralized applications and organizations. Granted a Season 6 cohort sponsorship from MetaCartel, Raiders gave apprentices stewardship in the ways of self sovereign work and coordinating to encourage intrinsic motivation. ### MolochDAO 👹 [The demon slayer](https://molochdao.com/) who catalyzed the DAO movement back in 2019 is also a Raid Guild Season 6 Apprentice Cohort sponsor. Read [the essay](https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/) that inspired the summoning of the DAO! And join us for [Demo Day](https://discord.com/events/684227450204323876/1123999992097546260), because these apprentices have been working to Slay Moloch and they're excellent additions to your project and community!
