YEAR OF THE CHEF
Year of the Chef is a community driven project to build an ecosystem around funding public goods. A generative PFP collection with 2024 Culinary Dragons
Back Story
In the Potlock ecosystem we have the theme of everyone as a chef, as a Potluck, is a feast where everyone brings a dish. We believe this “positive-sum” approach, where everyone adds their piece, enriches the experience for all. In the Chinese New Year, its the Year of the Dragon also a meme for Illia Black Dragon Co-Founder of NEAR. A Dragon is a natural chef, that can cook up with every breath, also known for its good luck and tremendous superpowers.
How to Claim
There are 4 ways to claim, as a Donor → Donate and then claim through Shard Dog, as a Contributor, OG, or Project via twitter

Moreover, for public goods not only are you getting NFTs, but you can now get donations directly to your project to make your donors eligible for this mint. A win-win situation. Already OGs from the biggest NFT collections, projects, and thought leaders in the space are supporting the project.
Secondary Sales
Cleaning floors is a public good, that’s why for those who sweep floors on Secondary marketplaces (Mintbase, Paras, Tradeport) 10% of royalties will be going to foodbank wallets that randomly distribute balances to approved projects on the registry. This means public goods on Potlock will get a passive stream of donations as long as this collection is selling. Learn more at docs.yearofchef.org/secondary-sales
Additionally if the floor price exceeds 1 NEAR that means that YEAR of the Chef not only becomes a source of continuous donations for the entire public goods ecosystem, but an arbitrage opportunity for donors. Who knows (donors & holders may also be incentivized by other ecosystems).
