Another one in the books! We host community dinners in NYC to bring fresh perspectives together irl. It’s our way of sharing what we’re building in a more intimate setting than just shouting into the void.

programmable communication is the way forward
Privacy settings shouldn't exist as toggles. They need to be native, built-in features, that ensure you are the sole owner of your data.
In permissionless social, the community is the network.
Join us in Denver on February 29 for round two with our friends from Refraction Festival!

In traditional online communities, the platforms set the rules for membership. Access is granted at the whim of centralized administrators, and members have no true ownership over their role in the community
As the transition from online to onchain continues to unfold, communities deserve true ownership and influence over their digital spaces.

Arriving here hinges on moving beyond the shift from online to onchain communities, and towards the concept of onchain towns.
