Exploring partnerships with existing communities and attracting new talent to the DAO

Stagnation kills communities. We can not simply rely on higher Crypto prices to bring more people into the space. We need to seek out and engage with new talent and attract them to the DAO. We already have an established artist in the space willing to work with the Studio on a new blockchain as a starting point.

Continuing biz dev efforts to support the floor of our existing projects as well as source new artists and partnerships to strengthen the DAO and brand
