## We’re looking for moderators, please see below.

Octant is building a community-driven ecosystem, and as we continue to grow, maintaining a welcoming, informed, and well-moderated space is a top priority. To support this, we’re launching a Community Moderator Program for Discord and seeking 2-3 moderators to help foster meaningful discussions, support new members, and keep the community safe from scams and misinformation. This is a paid opportunity and we’re really excited to be able to collaborate with some of you on a deeper level!

We are looking for individuals with:

- **Familiarity with Octant** and its mission.
- **Strong Web3 knowledge** to help guide discussions and assist community members.

If we receive a large number of strong applications, we may conduct a second round of interviews.

- **Evaluation Criteria:**
  - Ability to **support new members** in finding information.
  - Effectiveness in **driving new conversations** in the community.
  - Responsiveness to **moderating spam, scams, and inappropriate content**.

### **Escalation & Support**

Moderators will receive:

- A **guidelines and best practices document** to follow.
- An **onboarding call** to clarify expectations and answer questions.
- Access to an **internal moderator channel** for coordination and support.

### **Duration & Term Limits**

This is an **experimental trial**. After the first round, top-performing moderators may transition into **long-term roles**.

Really, nice one.  
Some of us are already extremely active and passively moderate.  
so, this is very commendable.
