The source mentions decentralized corporations rather than traditional guilds, which are not explicitly defined or associated with Ashes of Mankind. This lack of traditional guilds limits the guild-related ecosystem.
Decentralized corporations do exhibit some guild-like characteristics, such as fostering player engagement and collaboration, but there is no clear evidence of large, active memberships or significant TVL contributions.
The governance and operational transparency of these corporations is not detailed, making it difficult to assess their impact on the game’s economy or community building.
While decentralized corporations contribute to economic sustainability and ecosystem growth, their role in educational resources, community events, and new player onboarding is not addressed.
The report highlights innovative collaboration through smart contracts and decentralized governance, but it does not provide enough evidence of guild-specific strategies or long-term growth plans that align with the rubric's 'Excellent' or 'Good' criteria.
Overall, the decentralized corporations show some positive influence on the game’s ecosystem but fall short in several key areas that define high-quality guild contributions, such as transparency, active community engagement, and structured scholarship programs.
