We’re (in) the Money. If you’re looking for a creative, insightful bull case for social tokens, look no further. David Phelps dives into the power of social tokens, DAOs as cults, and coordination at an internet scale. HOT TAKE

Rally x UTA Brand Partnership. Talent Agency UTA’s consulting division has partnered with social token platform Rally to connect “crypto-interested talent” to fans, a potentially large step toward tokenization reaching the mainstream. PROMISING COLLAB

FWB x Zora Hackathon. FWB and Zora kicked off a collab hackathon as an opportunity for their respective communities to come together and "build a brighter future." As usual, FWB is paving the way for DAO culture and collaborations. VIBES ON VIBES 

The New Creator Economy. Nader Dabit gives a whirlwind tour of some of the most exciting aspects of web3: DAOs, social tokens, ownership, and more. The piece is meant to serve as an introduction to the space, but also serves as a refuel of excitement for those who are in deep. A GREAT BREAKDOWN

A16z on Crypto Governance. This week, a16z published an in-depth piece explaining its process behind governance and token delegation. The report will hopefully be one of the first dominos to fall, ensuring other institutional investors in the space embrace increased transparency. VCs "NEW" PLAYBOOK

DNS Namespace Integration to ENS. DNS domains can now be natively integrated to ENS on Mainnet. Got a cool .com or .org that you’ve been holding onto? Bring it to the decentralized web! ON-CHAIN GANG

The Meme Economy by 1729. Harry Jones dives into how NFTs are simply the next wave of the "meme economy," built on mimetic desires and our lean toward signaling. This piece is a truly sweeping exploration of the topic. YUP 

The Next Generation VC Fund. This essay explores a very specific niche of DAOs that has gained notoriety in the past few months: investment DAOs. BitDAO, The LAO, YGG, and others are explored in this piece. TAKE NOTES

Bored Apes Legendary Drop. In typical Bored Apes fashion, the most recent drop of Mutant Apes sold out yesterday. The drop managed to expand the BAYC community while also serving as a spark for the financial growth of the project. Expect many other NFT projects to follow suit. 101/100 APE VIBES 🦧
