After joining keybase and becoming an established community member individuals can request formal membership in the 1Hive organization that is currently deployed on mainnet. All new members must be voted in by existing members.

Formal members are identified by a non-transferable Bee token, which grants them various rights related to the governance of the 1Hive community and the Bee Hive organization.

To request membership simply ask an existing member in the keybase chat, and they can create a vote to mint you a Bee token.

Responsible Stewardship

Bees are expected to be active contributors to 1Hive and to be responsible stewards of the community and its culture and norms.

Bees are expected to help other members of the 1Hive community navigate and learn, as well as to moderate and help set the course of the community when conflicts and decisions arise and must be decided by consensus.

Formal Membership guidelines

• Members are expected to remain actively engaged and are required to participate in governance decisions.
• If a member becomes inactive, the remaining members should vote to remove them.
• Among other things, Members are responsible for minting and budgeting Honey, a separate transferable token issued by the 1Hive community.
