What’s good family? Let's talk about the 40 acres DAO! I know you’re probably like what is this, well let me put you up on game. 40 Acres Dao is A Decentralized Autonomous Organization built on creating self-sustaining communities of color using blockchain technology. The Web 3 Roc Nation. Shout out to Hov. Now if any of that went over your head, I got you.
40 acres is the mixing pot for tech, culture, and community. The mission is to have a space dedicated to empowering, educating, and engaging with communities of color. We onboard as many black and brown creatives and professionals into Web3 as we possibly can. Why web 3? It represents the next generation of the internet, the ‘creators’ economy. An internet where we are in control.
We’re currently in our preseason which means we haven’t actually officially launched. To help prepare us for that our current focus is laying the proper foundation. We’ve been creating the operating systems, building the core team, fostering the community, and curating vibes.
Our biggest focal point is fostering the community. We believe that if our community trusts and believes in us then we have no choice but to succeed. We’ve organically grown to over 400 members in about a year, which says a lot about our potential. Until our launch date, we’ve been hosting small-scale events for our community. These consist of town halls, mastermind talks, goals, and more. We’re taking the time to listen and react to what black and brown creators desire for the undertaking of Web 3.
A group of masterminds sharing the same vision came together to create 40 Acres. After many discussions, the best way to get started was to take action. Discord enters the chat. We started informing others of our plans and inviting them to join our space aka DAO.
In the DAO there are currently 11 guilds or working groups. These were made to help give members tasks and missions. Each guild serves a specific goal and works together to fulfill the overall mission.
The Acre Games - The E-Sports team of the DAO.
The Lab - The idea incubator.
Vibe Squad - The HR of the DAO focused on members well being and maintaining positive vibes.
Scribe Gang- This is our group of writers/editors who will be in charge of all the written content that 40 puts out.
Renaissance on-chain- Our mastermind artists and creatives all gathered in one place exchanging ideas and ideals.
Dev-ops- Our very own shadowy cabal of in-house developers and coders.
Dao disciples- Metaverse ambassadors responsible for actively spreading the 40 gospel.
Black Intelligence Agency- The Social Media leg, and information acquisition.
Freedmen force- The holistic spiritual side of 40 acres. The blueprint - All business management and operations.
The queens- A collective of all the lady bosses in the DAO.
Through these guilds, our DAO has been able to support many creatives with their questions, launches, NFTs, and increase their network.
Engagement This is a platform of discovery where the advances in technology become more accessible. We provide workshops, retreats, and networking events for multifaceted creatives. A space for a collaborative metaverse gallery. As a person of color, expect to be in an atmosphere that welcomes your uniqueness and identity. This is a space to be proud of who you are. A melting pot of different artistic means from music, videos, art etc. We’re a part of the reinvention of the social network. We invest in you. We educate you. We empower you. You own your work.
The largest obstacle for new people in the space is the steep learning curve. In order to get more people in the space, there has to be an easy education process. So we’ve partnered with https://www.odysseydao.com/ to streamline the education. Giving people the fundamentals to explore Web 3. In our discord community, we host weekly workshops, and events to aid the learning experience. The goal is to invoke curiosity and awareness about Web 3 for our members.
Whether you are an emerging or existing artist, this DAO is for you. We provide space for creators and consumers to meet and collaborate in the physical and digital realms. Imparting tools to help you focus more on what you enjoy doing, art. That can look like paying for minting fees for artists or help launching your NFTs. We’re creating a marketplace for them to showcase their work or directing them to some of the other open-source options available. Our mission is to share the resources necessary for our members to be successful. This is how we empower the community. By supplying them with the tools and knowledge to thrive.
Stay tuned to see how we progress towards the goal. Our next target is to focus on implementing more in-person events. Such as workshops, studio houses, curated showcases, plus more. These are all geared toward inducting and maintaining black and brown creators into web 3. With your support and belief in us, we will make this happen.
