What is Builda?

Builda is bringing you the best way to spotlight and discover Web3 projects. Whether you’re a builder, part of the team, or just a Web3 enthusiast, Builda offers a way to get that project — big or small — to shine.

There’s no need to be an influencer, and definitely no need to send out that airdrop rumor tweet as a marketing tactic. With Builda, anyone can list a project which puts it into the spotlight and gets it the attention it deserves.

How Does It Work?

For guidelines and listing instructions on Builda, please see here!

At the most basic level, once a project is submitted to be listed, it’s added to the queue. Every week on Monday, projects in the queue are listed on Builda for that week’s batch. Rinse and repeat.

Users have the ability to upvote projects in the current week’s batch, signaling their appeal or support towards those projects, and in turn, increasing the project’s rank on Builda.

The more upvotes, the higher the rank! ⭐

Launch Week Listing Information

Because launch week is a little different than most, our listing guidelines are slightly altered for the week(s) to come.

Typically, all projects submitted are thrown into the queue until the following week’s batch. However, the following changes are in effect for launch day and the week(s) to follow:

  • Projects submitted up to 24 hours after Builda’s launch week begins will still be listed in the launch week batch.
  • Projects submitted after 24 hours of Builda’s launch will be put in the queue for the following week.
  • Up to 20 projects can be listed each week maximum. This limit will increase over time until it’s removed completely. If too many projects submit, they will get pushed to the following week’s queue.

The Story

What originally began over coffee ☕ in Paris was an idea to allow projects to get users (frens), feedback, and engagement — regardless of whether they have a token, large Twitter following, or other various things a lot of projects just don’t have.

But not just that. It came with the ability to also satisfy the never ending crave for alpha we all share by bringing new projects into the spotlight each week to explore, as well as regular project updates so you can stay in the know.

As our team has worked together previously, after that coffee it was a no-brainer. We quickly got to work and naturally built our way to where we are today.

Launch Celebration NFT

In honor of Builda’s public launch, we’ve set up an open edition drop for our NFT “Early — By Builda” through Manifold, and it’s totally free to claim!

The NFT is available for one week total from our launch, so don’t forget to claim yours here!

Now that we’re live, we’d love for you to test out Builda and give it a shot. Head over to our website to get started, and let us know how you feel about Builda in our Discord or Telegram, or on Twitter!

We’ve got a lot more planned for Builda and can’t wait to deliver it in the coming months.
