# Community Corner

We’re getting closer to answering the “wens,” but in the meantime here are a few updates. 

The Hemithic and OG Role is still a work in progress, with engineering building a system to manage qualifying mechanics for distribution. This same tool will also help deliver perks to Creative Role holders such as Community Creator, Content Creator, and Based in the near future. 

On [Midweek with Max](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsHbLl22vRSk3HE6Ru4V-bUin-ZmvrlVP&si=DnjxBFgeSJ4EXDID&utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=trustless-transfers-digital-gold-and-top-opportunities), the team emphasized how central open source is to Hemi’s growth and encouraged anyone interested in building to apply for the Builder Role in [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/hemixyz?utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=trustless-transfers-digital-gold-and-top-opportunities). We’re expecting new updates as early as next week on [The Hemi Alliance](https://www.notion.so/HEMI-ALLIANCE-1ffcf136798580aca2e0e53d30ba8f66?utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=trustless-transfers-digital-gold-and-top-opportunities), including Tier 3 promotions. And finally, a new meme contest has launched with details available on Discord. This one is going to be fun. 

Now…here’s some community-created chaos.
