F.A.Q.

What is BG Media?

BG Media is an initiative by BuidlGuidl aimed at funding focused, high-leverage open-source projects. By providing a monthly UBI to handpicked developers, we support ongoing contributions to the BuidlGuidl and the Ethereum ecosystem.

What is the difference between the BuidlGuidl and BG Media?

BG Media is just a working group inside the BuidlGuidl community. Maintaining the spirit of the BuidlGuidl – learning and experimentation – BG Media adds intentionality, a focus on quality, and commits to delivering complete projects.

What are the core values of BG Media?

• 100% remote / 90% async
• Quality over quantity
• Continuous learning and improvement
• Keeping things simple & avoid over-engineering / early optimizations
• Iterative spirit: Start simple (but complete) and build from there
• Avoid bloated processes
• Being nice to each other
• Self-accountability
• Self-organization
• Keeping your peers in the loop

How can I join BG Media?

There is no single path or application process to join BG Media.

Members are usually part of the BuidlGuidl or participant in any of the project-focused cohorts, and have proven their ability to consistently deliver value and align with our core values.

How do streams work?

Streams represent the MAX amount that a developer can withdraw each month. When full, it doesn't recharge until a withdrawal is made.

Developers can withdraw from their stream when working on any of BG Media's projects.

Who is funding this initiative?

BG Media is funded by the BuidlGuidl.
