WalletCon showcased visionary artists redefining identity in Web3. Our party with Serotonin and Towns celebrated creative communities in style. The Rari DeFi exhibit spotlighted global talent at the intersection of art and decentralized finance, and Livepeer’s Limitless AI show explored identity and innovation. Thank you to everyone who joined!

After 3 years of connecting audiences, artists and spaces around the world in Refraction, we're thrilled to introduce $IRL, a token designed to create a more equitable experience industry by sharing value across all stakeholders: audiences, artists, and venues.
We’re starting off by gathering a small group of Refract Pass and $REFRACT holders in our new Towns community to spark early conversations, share insights, and early access.
Want to be part of the journey?
Soon we will share how you can access our Towns, for a chance to join the next wave of discussions around $IRL.
This is just the beginning of something transformative for the creative world.
Can’t wait to reveal more soon…
