Running Bridging Aggregator Community Calls involves organizing regular meetings where participants discuss cross-chain bridging solutions, aggregator tools, and interoperability challenges. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Define the Purpose & Goals
-
Focus on topics like:
-
Bridging protocols (e.g., LayerZero, Axelar, Wormhole)
-
Aggregators (e.g., Socket, Li.Fi, Squid)
-
Security & risks (e.g., hacks, oracle issues)
-
New standards (e.g., CCIP, IBC)
-
User experience improvements
2. Choose a Platform
-
Discord/Telegram (for community discussions)
-
Zoom/Google Meet (for structured calls)
-
Twitter Spaces/Clubhouse (for public discussions)

4. Promote the Call
-
Announce in:
-
Bridging-focused Discord/Telegram groups
-
Crypto Twitter (use hashtags like #CrossChain #Bridging)
-
Developer forums (e.g., Ethereum Magicians, Cosmos Forum)
5. Structure the Call
-
10 min: Intro & updates (new bridges, exploits, trends)
-
20 min: Guest speaker (e.g., dev from Socket, LayerZero)
-
20 min: Open discussion (Q&A, feedback)
-
10 min: Recap & next steps
6. Record & Share Takeaways
-
Post summaries on:
-
Mirror.xyz/Medium (for long-form)

-
Create a GitHub repo for technical discussions.
