Creatives DAO is now more of a constellation that has

  • a 90+ DAO community
  • Is working on a community led accelerator
  • Actively seeking partnerships to bring more creatives onboard
  • Will be a partner with ETH Milan in October
  • going to represent it communities via multi channel media outreach
  • Looking to create its own products and services to help its existing community and onboard more creatives from outside of NEAR ecosystem.

As the journey of being an independent DAO has just begun and the responsibilities have only increased, as councils we have decided to divide responsibilities to be able to serve the community better.

From June onwards, I will be handling Partnerships, Media relations and Strategy for CDAO to ensure it gets more support from within and outside the ecosystem.

We are still working on the right work distribution to make sure the strengths of councils are utilised well and it benefits the larger ecosystem to its fullest.
