The Soneium Discord & Guild​
The Soneium community primarily lives on Discord—our central hub for support, feedback, announcements, bug reports, and daily activities like gaming sessions. To ensure a high-quality experience and filter out bots or bad actors, we've introduced a gateway server that all new users must pass through before accessing the main community space.
To onboard, you'll complete the Soneian Internship, our lighthearted initiation process. Simply reach Level 3 in the Gateway server by interacting with posts and other users. Once completed, you’ll be automatically invited to the Soneium Main server, where the full community experience awaits.
Progress through the internship by using the Soneium Guild to track your roles—from Soneian Intern, to Internship Survivor, and finally, Soneian Boss.

Choose Your Path​
You’ve made it to the heart of the community. Now that you're in, it's time to take the next step by exploring the roles that shape Soneium’s future. There are two main paths available, each offering unique ways to contribute and grow.
- Soneian Starters and Soneian Primes
- Soneian Creators
Understanding these groups and the roles within them can help you decide how best to contribute and which Soneium main server roles to aim for.
Soneian Primes​
Soneian Primes play a key role in the community by offering guidance, protection, knowledge sharing, and driving improvements.
But before you can rise to a Prime role, you must first walk the path through the Starter roles. Community members begin by claiming the first of the roles named Soneian Prospect via our Soneian Starter roles on Guild.
This role signals your interest in growing and safeguarding the Soneium community. It also allows us to identify and keep eyes on emerging contributors with leadership potential.
- Prospect → Trainee: After about one month of consistent engagement, Scouts and core contributors will vote on which Prospects are ready to advance.
- Trainee → Seeker: Another month of activity, presence, and contribution leads to another vote—this time determining your readiness for the Seeker role.
- Seeker → Scout: Once you’ve reached Seeker, you’re eligible to be selected by current Scouts during monthly reviews to officially join the Scout team.
Once a user attains the Seeker role, the journey unfolds. There are three types of Primes, each building upon the previous.
Note: Each Prime role has a max of 12 ranks (1.0 → 12.0). A rank can be earned each month by remaining active. This is voted on by the current group of Soneian Cores.
Scouts​
The Scout role is given to users who are usually the first greeters and alarm ringers within the community. Not only do they have a good sense of the liveliness of the Discord server, but they also know how to address the common pain points experienced by newcomers. They tend to users by ensuring they have the correct resources, and safely guide them when exploring the Soneium ecosystem.
Actions to Earn This Role:
- Greet newcomers and direct them to the right channels or resources.
- Troubleshoot basic issues and answer common questions.
- Participate and assist with activities like games, events, and discussions.
Note: Current Scouts and other Prime roles periodically discuss and vote on which users should receive the Scout role. This discussion happens 1-2 times a month and in the private channel dedicated to Prime roles. There is currently no set limit on how many Scouts there can be.
Ideal Traits: Approachable, level headed, and sincere about community building.
Guardians​
A role earned by starting as a Scout and demonstrating dedication, technical know-how, and a commitment to the server. Guardians are trusted members who act as connectors within the community. They use their technical knowledge to assist with help tickets, take the lead in organizing and managing approved activities, and keep the community engaged and running smoothly.
Responsibilities: Provide accurate troubleshooting support in the ticketing system Support the team in moderating and managing the Discord server Organize and lead approved activities
Note: The Soneium core contributors are responsible for extending this role to Scouts if they see a need for it. Depending on the size, rate of growth, and liveliness of the community, more or less Guardians could be needed.
Ideal Traits: Tech-savvy, detail-oriented, proactive in problem-solving.
Cores​
Cores are the heart of Soneium. They are versatile leaders shaped by experience, trust, and initiative. They begin their journey as Scouts, proving themselves through consistent contribution and a sharp understanding of the community’s pulse. As Cores, they orchestrate activity across different areas: planning events, resolving challenges, building bridges between members, and sparking momentum both online and IRL. Equal parts strategist, creator, and connector, a Core doesn’t just support the community, they energize it.
Responsibilities:
- Contribute and suggest actionable strategies for community growth.
- Produce high-quality content for both new and experienced users.
- Measure the impact of implemented ideas and provide feedback to the Soneium team.
- Research and analyze how other web3 teams approach community building to inform and inspire Soneium’s efforts.
- Act as a bridge between the community and the core contributors by sharing insights and facilitating discussions.
Note: The Soneium core contributors are responsible for extending this role to active Scouts and/or Guardians, if they see the need for it. Depending on the size, rate of growth, and liveliness of the community, more or less Cores could be needed.
Ideal Traits: Experienced, strategic, clear communicator, content creator, and impact-driven.
Soneian Creators​
The Creator roles are composed of artists, writers, gamers, entertainers, and other creatives who share their talents and contribute unique works that enrich the community. They are the heart of creativity, bringing ideas to life and inspiring others through their craft. These roles are handed out monthly as users demonstrate their creativity in their own ways in the Soneium Discord (main server). Soneian Creators have access to an exclusive forum channel where they can post their creations and get recognition for their efforts.
Note: Each role has a max of three rankings (1.0 → 3.0). Initially, Soneian Primes (Scouts, Guardians, and Cores) will decide who receives higher ranks on a monthly basis, but will eventually be an endeavor by Soneian Creators when enough active creators have been onboarded.

Where Do I Post My Contributions and When Do I Get A Role?​
Be sure to join the Soneium Discord Main server after going through the Soneium Gate server. In the main server you’ll find designated channels where you can begin to post your art, creations, threads, discussion topics, updates, and more. Once posted our team and current Scouts, Guardians and Cores will be on the lookout for quality content. From there they’ll periodically and collectively discuss and vote on whom to extend the Scout and other Creator roles to.
This program is a framework for what’s possible when talent meets intention.
Whether you're here to build, create, or guide - the next era of Soneium is shaped by those who show up. We’re ready when you are.
