Guild

What Guild does

Guild (guild.xyz) operates a Web3 community management platform that enables protocols, DAOs, and crypto-native projects to gate access, assign roles, and distribute rewards based on on-chain credentials. The core product allows community managers to verify wallet holdings, NFT ownership, or attestations across 60+ EVM chains and to enforce that logic natively inside Discord, Telegram, X, GitHub, and Farcaster, replacing manual role management and bespoke bot configurations. Underlying technology consists of multi-chain indexing for credential lookups, integration connectors for messaging and social platforms, and a role/requirement engine that maps token holdings or attestations to permissioned actions. The platform serves over 1,000 teams, with flagship deployments including Arbitrum, Base, Chainlink, Optimism, Polygon, ZkSync, Newton (483K members), Ink (160K+), Zama (287K), and Soneium (76K).

The business model is a tiered SaaS subscription: Starter at $29/month, Plus at $99/month, and Growth at $399/month, monetizing based on feature depth and integration scope rather than member count. Guild is operated by Z Gen Kibernetika Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság, a Hungarian LLC headquartered in Szeged, and operates with 11–50 employees. A Guild API is available in alpha, signaling an emerging platform strategy that would expose Guild's role-gating and reward infrastructure to third-party developers. Distribution runs primarily through community-led adoption and direct sales (a Sales Manager is identified), with public traction supported by 227K X followers, 20K Discord members, and 3.5K GitHub followers.

Funding history is thin: a single institutional round with Hack VC dated 2022 is documented, with no subsequent raises or revenue disclosure in the available material. Revenue, ARR, and valuation are not disclosed, and the company's growth trajectory depends on conversion of the free-tier long tail into paying subscriptions and on the success of the API-as-infrastructure pivot.

Broad incumbents

• Discord: Discord is the underlying community platform Guild integrates with; it offers native role management and could ship competing gating features, making it both a critical channel and a broad incumbent threat.
• Coinbase Wallet: Coinbase ships Base ecosystem community tooling and identity/SSO flows that overlap with Guild's token-gating and onboarding; it is a broader incumbent that could absorb parts of Guild's use case.

Direct peers

• Layer3: Layer3 runs a quest-based discovery and reward platform for Web3 users; it overlaps heavily with Guild's Quests feature and competes for the same protocol-customer budget.
• Bonfire: Bonfire provides community engagement and token-gated tooling for Web3 projects, including gated chat and member management — a comparable niche player competing for similar customers.
• Galxe: Galxe operates an onchain credentialing and quest platform that directly competes with Guild's Quests and Score modules; both target Web3 projects running growth campaigns and airdrop-style engagement.
• ZEAL: ZEAL offers token-gated communities and Web3 membership management with questing and rewards, putting it in the same product category as Guild for crypto-native communities.
• Collab.Land: Collab.Land is the most direct competitor — it pioneered token-gated role assignment in Discord/Telegram and overlaps with Guild on multi-chain verification, role automation, and Web3 community onboarding.

Emerging players

• Spruce ID: Spruce provides decentralized identity and verifiable credentials used by Web3 apps for SSO and gating; it overlaps with Guild's identity/SSO feature set (EAS, World ID integrations) and is a partial competitor plus a potential partner.
• Civic: Civic delivers identity verification and Sybil-resistance for Web3, overlapping with Guild's World ID-based Sybil Resistance module and competing for the same gating/verification budget.

Others

• POAP: POAP is integrated with Guild for attendance proofs and could expand into gating/quests, making it an adjacent infrastructure peer rather than a direct competitor today.
