How to Apply

We’re honoured and excited that you’re interested in joining as a member project. Below is the current process — we expect it to change over time as we grow.

Before you start, read Eligibility and Responsibilities so you know what you’re signing up for.


  1. Learn about Bread and what we stand for
  2. Use our applications to bake $BREAD and vote in a voting cycle
  3. Get internal support from your community or team to apply as a member project
  4. Fill out the application form
  5. Contact someone from Bread Cooperative to let them know you have applied
  6. Expect to wait some time for a response — we need to go through applications and prioritise
  7. If we’re interested in having you join, we’ll start a conversation
  8. We will invite you to a discussion with the existing project leads, to learn more about you and your project and how it fits into the vision of Bread Cooperative
  9. We will review again to add your organisation. Full consensus is required by the project leads at the moment
  10. If accepted, we will ask for some assets to add your project as an option on the governance page
  11. Fill out your member project’s card with the information asked for
  12. Make sure you hold 3,000 $BREAD in your treasury
  13. New members can only be added at the start of a new voting cycle, so you’ll be added at the start of the next one once all other steps are complete

Get in touch or ask in the Bread Cooperative Discord for the current application form and to find a member who can nominate you.
