Thank you for being part of the MC journey!! 🌶️
We kept it real in ‘21, let’s run it back for 22.
While many amazing things happened, most notable was meeting with folks outside of the metaversals. We built genuine connections online and strengthened them in person; from Miami, Paris, and MCON, to NY and Portugal - looking forward to the circuit! 🏁
I don't know where I'm going but I feel I'm leaving, ✨
EthDenver is the first Schelling Point. See you there 🤩
2022 - year of the coordinatoors? The year of the DAOs? (along with the self proclaimed DAO experts 🤪) The year of too many IRL events? The Merge.
Time will tell, as always. ⏳
DAOs will prevail because now, more than ever, we need better coordination. 🛡️

🏡 DAOHaus - Yeeter is live! A mechanism to bootstrap a DAO, and not just a DAO-In-Name-Only, which DH is going to go off about 🗣️
Many projects have adopted 'DAO' as a last name - does this name-change really mean decentralization & transparency for you? Or are you still left to trust a team & be exposed to risk of rug-pulls? 🧐 Being a DAO is more than adopting 'DAO' as a last name. Here's why 👇🧵HAUSparty (season 4) is back on schedule, Thursdays at 11am PT / 7pm UTC- come for the enlightening talks, stay for the POAPs by the amazing Adrienne: https://discord.gg/daohaus
🐢 MetaPod - MetaPod is a new hybrid accelerator program to onboard and accelerate new DAOs and communities. Launch event will be held during ETHDenver on February 16th @ 3:30pm in the Lodge Room at Woods Boss Brewery. The event is a DAO pitch competition where the winners will win up to $10,000 in grant prizes and admission into the MetaPod Accelerator Pilot Program. Discord: https://discord.gg/tpnWxtHde7
🤖 MetaFactory - MF will be manning merch at the Sports Castle, slanging wares and “doing some other things” 😅 iRobot season 1 concluded, read the overview and get ready for season 2: https://meta.mirror.xyz/DoSGYLsUyPqm2Ct9dHVeyQFgfW3lX6-raWXWYkGYlhU
👩🤝👩🏻 MetaGammaDelta - MGD closed out the year with over 100 members and 5 grants distributed to women-led projects. Now focused on raising capital for their $1M Fund that will create new opportunities for onboarding women into web3. Interested in discussing this initiative? Please email mgddao[at]gmail.com. 📩
Otherwise always looking for awesome female speakers for their DAO-Wide calls to discuss anything from DeFi to NFTs to personal well being so if you think you have something to share, let ‘em know! Looking forward to seeing everyone at ETHDenver. - thanks Zayi 🙌
Full 2021 MGD recap: https://medium.com/meta-gamma-delta/meta-gamma-delta-2021-recap-65fda24823d8⚔ Raid Guild - The Guild brewed a beer, and started a BeerDAO: yeet into RaidBrood and come party with the Guild at EthDenver! ⚔️
In preparation for EthDenver, RaidGuild will kickoff a new experiment with the cohort program, and attempt to form squads to attack the hackathon. We’ll hope to onboard people not just into the Guild, but throughout the MC ecosystem - a rising tide. 🌊
