I am thrilled to share the launch of a new initiative: the /cryptoart Open Editions Collection on Zora. This collection is a celebration of our artist community and aims to feature an expanding roster of artists as our DAO grows.

Collection Goals:

• Showcase Talent: Offer a platform for our artists to present their work to a broader audience.

• Fund Future Endeavors: Enhance the DAO treasury to support upcoming projects.

• Ease Membership Path: Provide an affordable entry point for the community to start their journey towards membership.

• Curate Excellence: Establish a carefully selected collection of works minted by the DAO itself.

The Inaugural Artwork: "CRYPTOART"

As a nod to my role in spearheading this DAO and channel, the decision was made for me to be the first artist featured in this collection. I'm honored to unveil "CRYPTOART," the debut artwork, available on Zora for a nominal fee.

Why Collect This Token?

• Support Community-Driven Curation: Owning this token signifies belief in the power of our community-run curation team, which boasts over 4000 subscribers and a wealth of creative talent.

• Enhanced DAO Participation: While not a membership token, collecting this artwork opens doors to increased involvement in the DAO, such as community votes, proposals, and contests. This is part of our commitment to ensure financial barriers do not hinder participation in our community-driven projects.

A Note on Access and Inclusion:

We're committed to inclusivity and accessibility. Therefore, we've decided to make the minting process free + a nominal fee on Zora, typically around two US dollars. This approach allows us to welcome a wider audience to our DAO without compromising on the quality of engagement and participation. It should be noted that its not required to buy the Cryptoart Open Editions in order to participate in the community or DAO projects - there will always be ways to participate as community members without spending money.
