Before getting into the meat of our article, here is a glossary to support the understanding of those who have not yet entered the world of web3:
PFP collection, profile picture collection
NFT, non-fungible token
WoW, world of women
Brand within a larger brand family.
The picture you see as our logo is 1 out of a 10k PFP collection by the World of Women. We chose to use a WoW NFT because we are keen to participate in the development of the WoW IP. We are a part of the WoW community and we believe in the strength of our combined network and multiplied efforts.
Though there has been much talk of using PFP NFT IPs for film and anime IPs, as well as consumer product IPs, we believe PFP NFT IPs are also suited for service branding. After all, PFP collections have been successful at growing communities, and so it makes sense to extend these communities through PFP holders acting as nodes.
The Iriseum is a service brand focused on healthy brain function and blockchain literacy for all. Through our upcoming token offerings, we look forward to lay the foundation for an action-oriented community and web3-driven membership club.
While we operate most efficiently in Singapore, we embrace cryptocurrency’s ethos of “freedom to transact” and look forward to learning, growing, adapting and developing to wherever our token holders may take us in goodwill and partnership.
Why onboard into web3?
Web3 is a term to describe the next phase of Internet usage.
In addition to using the Internet to
- search for information (e.g. search databases), and
- share information (e.g. blogs and social apps),
the move towards web3 enable us to
- create and transfer value ($) on the Internet,
through cryptocurrency and NFTs.
There is already a sizeable community participating in web3, with significant funding being invested to support a push towards making web3 mainstream.
Web3 is a social revolution underwritten by technology that allows us to share not just content, but financial value, over the internet. It challenges existing social structures and cultures, supporting
- partnership over hierarchy,
- permission-less access over gated curation,
- creativity over innovation, and
- active participation over passive absorption.

You must begin to participate with us and experience the culture and the memes to know. You may get scammed in the beginning if you’re not careful or diligent - that is part and parcel of the learning. Soon enough, you will be stronger and wiser and better able to enjoy the nearly glorious, new landscape of web3.
As with any adventure, it helps to have good company.
How the Iriseum’s membership drive works.
Our global membership drive takes place through 7 token launches, from 2024 to 2026/7, each offering access to specific benefits. We are aiming to launch our first two tokens on 10 May 2024, so do follow us on X @theiriseum and Instagram @theiriseum and make sure you have your notifications on!
Currently, our community lives in a private group chat on Telegram. We may explore alternative platforms over time, including an in-house app if it is really needed.
What else is there to say?
On a very personal note, our director Serene G aka girlfrances will like to say that your support for the Iriseum directly contributes to her journey from employee to employer. She looks forward to be able to work full-time on the Iriseum in 3 years’ time, and to support the livelihoods of others with her enterprise.
Also, last but not least, you may be wondering, who owns this WoW that she is using as a logo and a brand?
Answer: Her husband, whose identity and reputation
you may check on SEIZE. He is a huge fan of the memes.
As they do not have children, so you can imagine, this - the Iriseum - is their baby. A lot of care and attentiveness will flow here. The Iriseum Entryway on Zora will be your way to join in their adventure.
