Dear Turf Community,

Welcome to the interesting and completely upside down world of the open edition burn meta. By now you have either joined our ranks or are looking at this with morbid curiosity. Well I’m here to explain to you a little bit about what’s going on but not to give away all of the secrets… the mystery is what makes it fun. So sit back and light one up… here we go!

\*NOTE, we’ll be releasing more and more of the DATA Pamphlet each week!

We have learned a ton in the past few months while building Turf’s foundation (chat, map, & avatars). Phase 1 was intended to prove to our collectors and the community at large that we can deliver good software in a timely manner and that regardless of market volatility we remain builders through and through.

Coming soon, with the introduction of Turf avatars + chat we are unlocking an exciting new way for projects large and small to soul-meld with the Turf Ultraverse! We want to create a place where all projects can come hang out and loiter. More importantly we want NFTs to transcend simply being pretty images that are collected and sold for top dollar. We want people to wear their favorite projects like they’re about to stomp the stairs at the Met Gala. Let’s get stomp’in!!!

Last week we covered the reasons why Turf’s Future is (probably) not staking. This week we want to dive ever deeper into the way that Turf will power its economy and in turn bring equity to all of her beloved holders.

Turf is a wonderful shining gift that is beloved by myself and my team as it has given us an opportunity to enter into this world a being of pure creation and delight.

Through a partnership with Endaoment and the sale of our coveted Power Plants we’ve raised $529k USD (not too shabby). 100% of this money will be gifted to an environmental cause(s) of our communities choosing. This article is meant to set the stage for that decision.

Where we are going… there are no roads… but there will be birds, trains, art museums, and dirty trash cans.
