What Are Guild Shards?
Guild Shards are the asset owned in a guild. It is your way to support a guild, but does not necessarily mean you are a member. Guilds will have the right to decide whether you are a member or only a supporter in their guild
Purchasing a guild shard does not guarantee that you are a member of the guild. To become a member, you will need to discuss with the guild leaders specifically to decide if it's within their consideration.
Pledging Guild Shards
Pledging a shard is your official support of that Guild. You can only pledge to one guild at a time, and signifies your commitment to that Guild. By pledging, you can also be given a role by the Guild Owner which further signifies your purpose in the Guild.
For example, if you pledge to a Guild, the Guild Owner can now assign you a Member role or a Worker role depending on your status within the guild itself.
How to Purchase a Guild Shard?
To purchase a Guild Shard, join the Guild's Request List. The Request List states your intention to own a part of the guild. Guild leaders will see your request, and approve or deny.
What is the Cost of Purchasing a Guild Shard?
The price of a Guild Shard changes based on a bonding curve and how many shards are currently in circulation. If you are the very first member, the Shard will cost 1 $PIXEL. For every Shard after, the price will increase by 1. If you are the 105th member, you will need to pay 105 $PIXEL.
Initial Guild Shards
When a guild is activated, guild leaders will receive a certain number of pre-minted Guild Shards to distribute at their discretion. This number is currently 5.
Selling Guild Shards
Guild Shards can be sold from the members of the guild. The shard is also sold based on the bonding curve. If you bought the Shard in the early stage at 30 $PIXEL, and sold when the guild had 120 Members, you will sell the Shard for the current price on the curve [less a small fee].
You can sell shards from the Guild page. Visit the Guild Page and select the "Sell Shard" button:
You will need to sign in with your Ronin wallet before a Modal pops up that requests additional information from you:
On this page, you can set the lowest amount you'd be willing to sell for. If the price goes lower than this during the time of your transaction, it will not be sold.
After clicking the sell button, you will be asked to approve the request in your wallet app. If you do not have enough RON for gas, you will not be able to approve the transaction.
Once completed, the shard will be sold.
Shard Selling Issues
If you did not receive your $PIXEL for selling the guild shard, go back to the Guild Page and select "Sell Issues".
A new modal will appear that asks for the Transaction Hash and the $PIXEL price Min Limit for selling. Once submitted, it should attempt the transaction on Pixels side again, and you should receive the $PIXEL in your mailbox!
How to Pledge/Unpledge Shards
To pledge a Guild Shard, first go to the Guilds Dashboard and choose the Guild that you want to pledge to. Each pledge requires 1 Guild Shard.
Select the Pledge Button and a Modal will appear:
In the Desired Pledged Shards section, you can choose how many Shards you would like to pledge to the Guild.
Examples:
If you want to Pledge 1 Shard to the Guild, set the Desired Pledged Shards to 1.
If you want to Unpledge all your Shards from the Guild, set the Desired Pledged Shards to 0.
If you want to change your Pledged Shards from 4 to 2 in the Guild, set the Desired Pledged Shards to 2.
After you have selected the amount, click Pledge and you should receive a Success Screen. You can now close the Window.
Remember that after pledging a shard, the Guild Owner or Admins must still give you a role so you can be an official Member of the Guild.
