Friends With Benefits: a DAO as an exclusive cultural club ✨

Not what you might think. FWB is called “the most stylish DAO in crypto”. It’s not about investments or staking. It’s about art, music, and parties. Their mission is to build cultural and technical infrastructure for digital communities through creative experimentation, collective coordination, and new ways of belonging in the digital space 🎨

Getting in isn’t as simple as buying a token. You have to pass a selection process and prove you’re ready to contribute — with creativity, expertise, or ideas. At its peak, full access required holding 75 $FWB (worth around $10,000 at the time). That created an exclusivity level comparable to private clubs like Soho House — but on the blockchain 🎭

Why do people join?

— Offline events: parties at Art Basel, summits in New York and LA
— An online hub to discuss trends in culture, media, and Web3
— Opportunities to launch projects together: from magazines to brand collabs
— Access to the DAO’s “cultural capital”: connections with artists, musicians, investors

Unlike most DAOs where tokens = treasury power, in FWB tokens = social capital first and foremost 🎭
