Proof of Steak: Building a Community-Driven Food Industry with Web3

If FWB is creating culture and the people who are the cultural producers are inhabiting our Discord, then we think it’s okay for people to charge a premium to access that culture, as long as there are different entry points across the spectrum for people to participate.

Crypto technologies help share ownership with stakeholders: - Web3 communities can bring more value back to their creators when producing wearables- Forkable concepts and tools can be validated and iterated on by community creators.- Computer-aided designs can be registered on-chain as vectors and then used to produce anything from printed goods to...
