SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND

Decentralized Arts was born to give greater depth to the artists featured in the weekly NFT drops in BanklessDAO, and to present the main authors and projects. It has since evolved to report on important events regarding the growth of NFTs and the metaverse, and educate readers on how this technology is being utilized.

Since its debut, it has grown from a loosely organized newsletter with contributions from various members of the Writers Guild and Newsletter Team to a more tightly coordinated organization with a set of regular contributors. As such, Decentralized Arts has decided to take on the responsibility of the team’s funding, as a separate project vis a vis Decentralized Law. Decentralized Arts will work over the next few seasons to become self-sufficient.

MISSION & VALUES ALIGNMENT

Decentralized Arts acts as a weekly meeting point for all fans of non-fungible tokens the world over. Per the BanklessDAO mission, “going Bankless means adopting decentralized, permissionless, and censorship-resistant technology. Through these means, we will achieve financial self-sovereignty, security, and prosperity.” Because NFTs represent a large part of this technology, and their adoption by institutions both large and small are becoming a vital entry point for many into the world of web3, the distribution of news in this sector is vital for newcomers to make the best decisions for themselves as they explore the potential of this technology. As such, Decentralized Arts seeks to become the premier newsletter for disseminating this information and spreading the Bankless message with regard to NFT adoption and utility.

SPECIFICATIONS and FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

During the Season 6, Decentralized Arts will inform and educate readers about NFT adoption and utility, and the expansion of the metaverse; collaborate with new authors and communities; and promote the values underlying BanklessDAO.
