Through Solana Space, there are tons of NFT collections and through this, tons of communities. With this being said, I will be breaking down why a Community plays a big factor into how projects are know as well as how they help projects flourish.
A good community can help build a reputation of how a project is viewed, the most notorious projects in the solana ecosystem such as Taiyo, Degods & Boogles thrive on the community they have built. Some key fundamentals in a good community are described below:
- Education: A project & community providing the resources a holder would need , in any category is the building blocks to allow people to connect as well as learn while they continue to progress in the space. Having a community with educated people in all types of areas can allow for 1-on-1 help to in return build solid connections as time goes on. Everlasting memories in this space started on growing with fellow community members as well as finding competent educators and guides to help me have a better understanding on how the NFT world works to this day.
- Hosting of Events: Projects who have constant engagement to their community with things such as AMA’s, VoiceChats, Tournaments, and etc. Help bring a stronger community, incentivizing positive experiences throughout the server. A great example of this is Taiyo Tuesday: where the whole server is able to hop into a voice chat to discuss future plans as well as hear/talk to other members of the community.
- Market Analysis and Secondary trades: Through the “Alpha” distributed within servers, users are able to help further educate other members in the community on projects outside of the ones they reside in, allowing for the community as a whole to keep up-to-date on the Solana Ecosystem.
- Safety as a whole: Communities will help keep other members safe as rugs & drainers are continuing to stay prevalent in this space. Learning from others mistakes can help you become more-aware to these situations and take precautions moving forward.
Overall, finding a community that suits you by makes you feel welcomed & comfortable is a great feat! Each person has their own perceptions & its best to find communities where you are able to talk to like-minded individuals.
