OpenSea Invests $100k to Bring New NFT Art to Life With FWB DAO

OpenSea Invests $100k to Bring New NFT Art to Life With FWB DAO

                                                                                                        
OpenSea has partnered with the Friends With Benefits DAO to help manage the launch of The Flock, an "immersive galler exhibition" and "curatorial project", according to a press release. The series of one-of-1 NFTs is a heavenly, glowing exhibit that will include works by artists such as Ayaka Ohira and Case Simmons. Vivian Fu and many others are also included.

It won't be a simple launch. This collaboration will be the first to see OpenSea’s homepage taken over completely by the FWB DCAO. The site will then feature the FWB DAO's list of Web3 artists on its front page. OpenSea's homepage featured works had never been curated before this collaboration. An ex-employee at OpenSea took advantage of homepage curatorial privileges in Web3's largest NFT marketplace to make insider trading one of the most prominent cases in the NFT space.

OpenSea's partnership with FWB goes beyond these front-page privileges. OpenSea has provided $100,000 to FWB's curatorial staff to support their mission to guide the future of Web3. According to the press release, these funds will be divided up among "artists from the traditional art world as well as the NFT space, helping to bring new creative works alive."

Given FWB's status of a DAO, which includes artists like Erykahbadu, Azealia bankss, and David Rudnick, the collaboration with OpenSea received 98% support from the community. The collection's decentralized curation is a good example of "how exhibitions are created and maintained in Web3".

The Flock will also launch FWB FEST, a Web3 conference and festival experience at Idyllwild Arts Academy, Idyllwild (California) from August 12 through August 14. The event's music festival will feature Pussyriot, Oneohtrix Point Never and Weyes Blood as the headline acts.

Why it matters NFTs are no strangers to the promise of utility. There are even some who argue that imposing utility on an NFT project can hurt its quality. For new NFT projects entering the market, utility remains a top priority - particularly for corporate-backed projects. However, most buyers of things expect to be able to use them after they purchase them. As a result, numerous projects have served as membership passes in the past. There will be a message saying, "Buy our NFT, and you'll get X p...

What are Gas Fees and How Can We Fix Them?

Blockchain transactions were very affordable prior to 2020. With the rise of Web3 & NFTs, mandatory blockchain transaction charges -- also known by gas fees -- are now the greatest barrier to mainstream adoption. Network congestion is what determines the gas price for blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum. The network congestion is the reason why the gas fees are higher for more people. Web3's ethos of inclusivity and democracy means that this fundamental scaling problem largely challenges those core tenants. Although gas can seem quite simple in concept, it can be quite complicated under the hood. This explanation explains gas fees and how they work. It also explains what Ethereum and other Blockchains can do to make them cheaper.
