GM and bom dia, another conference in the books, and a few more on the horizon - is this the top signal or the beginning marker of ze super cycle? 🙃
MCON21 was the vibe, thank you to everyone that made it magical ✨
The talks, the connections, the venue, the weather, the parties, the mf’ing weekend -
There will be many more gatherings and meetups moving forward, but nothing to capture that particular time and space we shared in Denver of September 2021. Mad grateful to be here, now - and only optimistic about what the future holds.
Let’s get to fucking work y’all. ⏳
For anyone new here (first time?), this has been a b̶i̶w̶e̶e̶k̶l̶y̶,̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶t̶h̶l̶y̶ ̶, bimonthly 😅 reporting on the MetaCartel ecosystem - only slightly derailed by IRL (meta 😏) distractions and late stage bull cycle happenings 🐂 - but make no mistake, we play hard and get shit done. If you’re not in a DAO yet - find a group below that resonates with you.
🏡 DAOhaus - The HAUS hits 10k Twitter followers (or at least nearly there, depending on when you read this)! Bit of an alpha leak, but some amazing content in the works - like this amazing DAO splainer video. Please share widely and use liberally:
DAOhaus ships, but has been lacking the right motivated storytellers to help shape this DAO narrative - if you or someone you know is interested in continuing to tell this story (web2 marketers even 🥲), please DM.
This boost shipped in the last week? Probably nothing…🦵 Kickback - ChillaxDAO season zero wraps! Born out of ETHcc and concluded in Lisboa, the push to promote web3 tooling (fuck your web3 events using web2 tech yo) was rather successful.
If you or someone you know is throwing a web3 event and would like to encourage experimentation and dogfoodin’ 🐶 - hit up any member of the ChillaxDAO. Season1 on the horizon! 🌅
🤖 MetaFactory - Rumor has it the ROBOTS will be rolling around the streets of NYC, swagging out shadowy super coders and speculating iRobots alike - there might even be a physical newspaper 📰. MetaFactory is always on the cutting edge and will be stepping up the game, huge props to all involved in shaping the culture ✊
👩🤝👩🏻 MetaGammaDelta - MGD has 88 members and growing!!
ΜΓΔ is- working on updating their onboarding process to encourage diversity and inclusivity. Bold fonts are not enough to emphasize how important this is and how seriously we need to take this. Props to JovianNetwork and everyone else moving this to the forefront. 🙌
Kicking “Designing Our DAOs for Diversity” initiative into high gear, seeking grants for our non-profit, and research partners through November. HMU.- tracking engagement via a movement model created by Govrn (shout outs to AaronS and Helmass https://medium.com/@behindthehandle/behind-the-handle-3-aaron-soskin-ae635f8559d)
- hosted an MCON event Drinks with DAOs in collaboration with Uberhaus and MolochDAO #squadgoals indeed 🔥

⚔ Raid Guild - season3 is coming. RaidGuild cohorts have been a resounding success at onboarding new Guild members, teaching folks about DAOs, and getting projects completed for our sponsors and clients. This is the fourth iteration, probably the last for 2021 - and we’ll look forward to a proper recap and State of the Raid 2021.
$RAID lives on xDAI (rebrand in the works 🤫) - with the initial $RAID use case being via our client consultation queue (https://hireus.raidguild.org/) where clients bid $RAID to bump themselves up to be next for a coveted RG consultation (bull market problems yo).Since that initial release, the ideas for $RAID usage has exploded - the very last proposal to be accepted has been RG members staking to champion (vouch for) new RG members. This novel use case aims to strengthens the onboarding of new members (which we know DAOs aren’t great at) while incentivizing RG members to champion quality candidates.

👑 MetaCartel Ventures - Sure you’re sick of hearing about MCON by this point, but it was great to connect MC with MCV 🤝 Let’s do it again, soon.
🍦 Gelato - Congrats!
Today we are super excited to announce our $11 million Series A funding round, led by @dragonfly_cap, with participation from an incredible group of investors @paraficapital, @nascentxyz, @IDEOVC & @StaniKulechov. Instead of sharing a press release, here's a 🧵 from @hilmarxo1) Smart contracts enable so much more than just #DeFi or #NFTs, they enable developers to build what I like to call "Serverless Application". An app is truly "serverless" if anyone in the world can use it via a locally hosted UI that not a single party can shut down or censor https://t.co/otHmCoWr09Hilmar "Non-Owner of Fiat" Orth @hilmarxo💪 CommitPool - CommitPool keeps you accountable to achieving goals in an easy three step process: 1.) set goal 2.) stake something 3.) get going!! - Give it a whirl https://app.commitpool.com/ 🚴
〽️ Minty - Minty helps DAOs manage the physical logistics and governance for IRL DAOs. Discord
A new DAO is launching on Minty in the coming weeks to tokenize and manage a collection of American whiskey. 🥃
The Whiskey Pioneers are a collection of industry insiders and enthusiasts, purchasing barrels of 4 year old whiskey, aging them and developing a group strategy for releasing them into the market. For more information on the Whiskey Pioneers DAO reach out to pioneers@minty.xyz!Two Cartel adjacent NFT projects to shill: 🧻 NFTP.fun & CryptoManga 🥷 - somehow perfectly fitting in our current wild Meta Shib environment.
Shoutouts to EXO & Thobey who came out to MCON and got DAO-pilled - follow along his journey here (or read about his astral projection experience ⚗️) and be on the lookout for EXO 👁️
Thobes gets it:
📏 Linear → Non-Linear 🧶
🖖 Rational → Intuitive ♒
⚙️ Mechanistic → Organic 🕸️
🌘 Reductionist → Holistic 🌕
📶 Quantity → Quality 💎
🤼 Competition → Cooperation 👯
🤴 Domination → Partnership 🤝
Lastly, our collective tweet game has always been savage
