:crown: Who and Why is a Community Moderator Important?


A Community Moderator is a leader of the community who helps to create and maintain spaces for members to feel safe and can find belonging. A space where one can share, exchange ideas, questions, and concerns while encouraging involvement to benefit both the community and the protocol.

In order for our community to be successful, a Community Moderator helps by playing an important role to drive our narratives, create positivity, answer questions, share valuable resources, and in helping other members find answers.
