# State of the Raid :fire: December 2022

We try to help each other look out for crooks, but desperate people do desperate things and the actions of the powerful can be difficult to predict. We are beyond resilient and challenges only bring us closer together. Let's Raid!

## Raid Guild<>Nonce Hack at EthDenver 🏔️

Raid Guild is a global decentralized freelancer collective and Nonce is a hacker village in South Korea. Our communities are joining forces for a friendly rivalry at EthDenver Hackathon, February 24 - March 5, 2023.

Thank you @scottrepreneur for mentoring and @plor for uber project managing our hackers! **If you're a Raider and want to hack or mentor, or just bring good vibes, tell @BorrowLucid!**

#### ***If your organization wants to sponsor hackers' travel, let us know.** Hackers are flying in from all over the world and we want anyone who wants to hack to have the opportunity to do so!*

Stealing from the wise words of Sir Kerp, we're gonna build *insane cowboy shit!* 🤠

## Ethereum After the Merge 🐼

Well, [the Merge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx-jYgI0QVI) was uneventful. In other words, everything went smoothly. We even had time to make a collaborative NFT.

Since then EthereumCatHerders, the project management team over at Ethereum Foundation, is offering some [educational material](https://medium.com/ethereum-cat-herders/ech-introduces-learn2earn-43928a7cdd94) and it comes with a POAP!
