Upgrade Now: A Step-by-Step Guide to Moving from Stakes.social to Clubs

Yes, you are reading well. Stakes.social (SS), the first Dapp made by Dev Protocol, will migrate its users to "Clubs".

Here is a summary for many of you who do not know what SS is. Released in June 2020, SS was a DeFi-based sponsor platform where developers, OSS creators and supporters are rewarded with tokens if they support their favorite projects by staking DEV tokens. The journey of the Dev Protocol Mainnet began with SS. The encounter between OSS and web3 led many users into the world of web3 for the first time, sparking numerous sensations primarily around GitHub. The platform was the DEV Protocol team's first attempt to create a decentralized economy for creators before the arrival of Clubs.

Given the dynamic environment, the DEV team discontinued Stakes.social to evolve it into Clubs where the “true creator economy” thrives. Below is the necessary course of action to keep empowering your projects with a decentralized economy and Taylor-made features! SS was the first DAPP that allowed creators to gather supporters through staking—following the same mission— Clubs offers creators the tools to create engaging websites, manage memberships, and build shops and communities. With a marketplace that offers a wide variety of plug-ins, you can enhance your economy in any way you like.

With over 800 non-developer creators already onboard, Clubs is the next logical step for SS creators. The range of comprehensive tools and plugins allows creators to grow their community and accelerate their monetization channels. Some Clubs are now attracting more than 200 members! The next one that reaches that milestone can be yours!
