Create a Team
This page walks you through creating a team and getting it set up — the popup, the arena tabs you'll see once you land, the member roles, the publishing surfaces (posts / drafts / rewards / memberships), team subscription, the built-in DAO, and a brief index of sub-team flows. For the broader context — what teams are and where the chapter goes next — see the Teams overview.
Create a team
🎬 Walkthrough: create a team end-to-end (~30 seconds).
You can start a new team from the Create Team action in your profile dropdown (open it from the avatar at the bottom of the sidebar). A short popup walks you through the basics:
- Team handle — this becomes your team's URL:
/your-handle. Pick something short and stable; the handle is hard to change later. - Display name — the friendly name shown across the platform.
- Banner and bio — give your team an identity people can recognize at a glance.
- Initial members — invite a few teammates by username or email; they receive an invitation they can accept or decline.
Once created, you land on the team's home at /your-handle/home.
Team arena — your team's home
Every team gets its own arena layout, separate from individual user pages. The HUD tabs along the top of the arena are:
| Tab | URL | Icon |
|---|---|---|
| Home | /your-handle/home |  |
| Members | /your-handle/members |  |
| Drafts | /your-handle/team-drafts |  |
| DAO | /your-handle/dao | |
| Rewards | /your-handle/team-rewards |  |
| Memberships | /your-handle/team-memberships | |
| Settings | /your-handle/team-settings |  |
Inside Settings:
- Members —
/your-handle/team-settings/members - Subscription —
/your-handle/team-settings/subscription
Bookmark /your-handle/home — it's the canonical entry point for everything your team does.
Members and roles
The Members tab (/your-handle/members) shows everyone currently on the team, plus pending invitations.
To bring someone in, open Settings → Members and send an invite. Invitees see the invitation in their inbox and can accept or decline. When they accept, they appear immediately on the public Members page.
At a high level, teams have two kinds of people:
- Team admins can update team settings, invite or remove members, manage the subscription, and approve DAO outcomes.
- Team members can co-author posts, contribute to drafts, take part in DAO votes, and receive rewards.
Most day-to-day work — writing posts, voting, claiming rewards — is open to all members. Anything that changes the team's identity or billing is admin-only.
Posts, drafts, rewards, memberships
A team is a full publishing unit, just like an individual user.
Posts
Posts authored under the team handle appear on the team home and in feeds attributed to the team. Any member can publish on the team's behalf.
Drafts
The Drafts tab (/your-handle/team-drafts) is a shared workspace. Pick up someone else's draft, leave it for a teammate to finish, or co-edit before publishing.
Rewards
The Rewards tab (/your-handle/team-rewards) tracks rewards the team has earned — from spaces it has run, posts that were rewarded, or governance participation. Rewards can stay in the team treasury or be distributed to members.
Memberships
Teams can offer paid memberships to supporters at /your-handle/team-memberships. Supporters subscribe to your team and unlock member-only content or perks. This is separate from the team's own subscription (below).
Team subscription
Open Settings → Subscription at /your-handle/team-settings/subscription to manage your team's plan.
The subscription unlocks team-level features (monthly Credits for reward Spaces, the Trusted Creator badge, raw participant data access at higher tiers). Billing is handled off-chain via PortOne, so you can pay with the methods you already use. See Team Settings → Team subscription for the full breakdown.
DAO — collective governance
Every team has a built-in DAO at /your-handle/dao.
The DAO is where the team makes decisions together rather than having one person decide. Any member can open a proposal — for example, "allocate part of the treasury to a campaign", "approve a sub-team's application", or "change the team's bio". Members then vote, and the result becomes the team's official position.
Proposal types tie back into real team actions: budget allocations affect the rewards treasury, sub-team decisions affect team structure, and governance outcomes are recorded on the team's timeline so the history is auditable.
Sub-teams
Teams can also have sub-teams — smaller groups operating under a parent team's umbrella, each with their own bylaws, docs, and announcements.
Sub-team flows live under your team's arena and cover the full lifecycle:
- Apply to be a sub-team of a parent team —
/your-handle/sub-teams/apply - Application status —
/your-handle/sub-teams/application - Manage child sub-teams —
/your-handle/sub-teams/manage 
Sub-team detail — /your-handle/sub-teams/:sub-team-id, including the deregister flow- Sub-team docs — compose and edit shared documents under
/your-handle/sub-teams/docs/... - Sub-team announcements — broadcast updates to members under
/your-handle/sub-teams/announcements/... - Bylaws —
/your-handle/bylaws - Leave parent —
/your-handle/parent/leave
See Sub-teams for the full flow — apply, manage, docs, announcements, bylaws, deregister, leave parent — covered URL by URL.
