You want to start a community, but every time you tried Discord, it felt chaotic. Telegram groups? Cluttered. You could never tell which spaces were active or even worth your time.

Then you discovered Coloniz.

It wasn’t just another platform. It was a place where communities actually felt alive.

Whether you’re launching a DAO, building a fan club, or gathering niche experts, Coloniz gives you super-smart tools to create, connect, and grow. Let’s talk about 10 ways to put them to work.

1. Create and Customize Your Community Colony

Imagine you’re a creator launching a fan community. In minutes, you can spin up a Colony, choose your name, set a custom link (e.g. yourbrand.co/fans), and apply your logo + colors. Your members land in a space that feels unmistakably yours, with no generic templates required.

2. Group your teams into subcolonies

Are you running a multi-track hackathon? Use subcolonies to give each team its own workspace while keeping everyone connected under the main event umbrella. Assign moderators, set roles, and watch collaboration flow.

3. Create public and private channels for your hackathons

When planning a virtual hackathon, you might need an open channel for general chat and announcements? and a private channel just for your core team to plan roadmap sprints. Coloniz makes this easy by allowing you to adjust access for your channels. For the private subcolonies, you can just uncheck and invite only the people you trust. It’s that flexible.

4. Send and receive tips in real time

Imagine you’re hosting a community game night—whether it’s trivia or charades—and you want to reward the active winners as they shine. With Coloniz’s built‑in tipping, you can simply click “Tip” on the player’s profile or next to their message and send the funds directly to their wallet in seconds.

5. Withdraw funds from your profile

You’ve been tipped for your contributions, or maybe you earned rewards during a game night. Now you want to move those funds to another Starknet wallet for safekeeping or spending.

You could easily go to your Profile, click “View Details”, select the token and hit “Send.” Paste the destination Starknet wallet address, input the amount, confirm the details, and send it. It’s fast, simple, and fully onchain.

6. Fund your profile instantly

Want to top up your wallet? Just copy your wallet address from your profile and send funds directly to it from any Starknet wallet.

7. Easily onboard new members with just a click

Inviting new members to your Colony is really seamless. Newcomers can literally join in seconds using Passkey, Discord, or WalletConnect. No complicated sign-ups, just pick a login method and land right inside the Colony.

8. Install coloniz as a mobile or desktop app 

On mobile or desktop, click “Install” and Coloniz will be saved on your home screen as a standalone app. You can also get instant notifications for tips, new posts, or events happening in your Colony.

9. Track community engagement with leaderboards

Motivate your community with friendly competition. Members can climb the leaderboard by posting updates, helping others and get recognized for their contributions.

10. Meet Grida: your community’s AI assistant

As a community owner, you can train Grida to answer questions members might have about your Colony. Whether it’s onboarding help or repeated FAQs, Grida takes care of it, saving you time and keeping your community informed.

As a user, you can ask Grida anything about a Colony and get instant answers. It’s like having a smart, always-available guide right inside your community.
