FWB wants to give you $250 USDC to host a civilized 

"Establishing A Software Company" Proposal

Why do we love dinner parties more than we love dinner and parties? Well to start with, they’re just like regular parties except you know who’s coming and you’re pretty sure they won’t break your outdoor furniture. Not to mention dinner parties are much easier to host than regular parties because everyone knows exactly what to do: we know there will be standing around and drinking at the start, and then sitting down and eating in the middle, and then later you will change seats because your neighbors are boring, and then at the end you’ll publicly lament your poor posture and financial situation and go ahead and outstay your welcome. It’s a story as old as time itself.

So what does this have to do with FWB, exactly?

FWB wants to make it as easy as possible for you to connect with other members IRL, so has decided it will be dishing out up to $250 USDC to members hosting dinner parties across the world as part of its new 

 initiative. Have an amazing space or a knack for cooking up delicious food and fun party vibes? Then gather your local FWB squad and apply to be a verified dinner-party host 

Avid readers (of at least the past two newsletters) will be aware that the FWB Product Team has proposed to form a separate, partly-FWB-owned entity tasked with expanding use cases for the $FWB token. To zoom out for a second, the way these proposals usually work is:

Members come up with a cool idea for the DAO

 and work with the team to craft a proposal fit for member consumption 

The refined proposal is put up for community discussion for ~5 days in 

The proposal is then usually revised and put up on 

All of this is to say that the Product Team’s proposal is now live on Snapshot for the next five days, and waiting for your vote. As detailed as the Snapshot proposal may be, it behooves you to also check out the informed discussion going on in the 

, and ask any questions you may have, before casting your vote. That’s right, I said behooves, and I’d do it again!

 before the voting period closes on Tuesday, May 2nd @ 4pm PST.

It’s official: We like #CHANNELS (note: that is not a channel… yet) as a way to tag and organize posts and images within the FWB app. Apart from the channels relating to some of FWB’s most densely populated cities (#LA and #NYC), we’ve seen some nice activity in #ART, #BENEFITS, and perhaps least surprising of all, #SELFIES-N-FITS. To be fair, we may be a 

Thinking selfishly for a minute, we’re also looking for ways to utilize the #TLDR app channel beyond our current posting of weekly newsletter summaries, so if you see something in your travels that you believe should make its way onto these hallowed pages please bring it to our attention by tapping that #TLDR button in the FWB app.

We present three top-quality drops from top-quality projects, for your minting pleasure:

 Minting this NFT allows you to redeem a copy of Zora’s first-ever print issue, which features 250 pages of words, visuals, and fake ads from luminaries Kevin Kelly, Holly Herndon, Harm van den Dorpel, LATASHÁ, and more. 

 A new culture fund has stealthily emerged from the minds of FWB alumni 

 that currently lets you mint your favorite artistic mantra from a virtual Magic 8-Ball. These thoughtful mantras offer a soothing balm to those of us still traumatized by the unhelpful answers of the Magic 8-Balls of our youth (if "All Signs Point to Yes" then why exactly did Lucy Hargreaves ditch me at the prom for Greg Somerville, of all people?). Anyway, pick your favorite mantra and 

 Social Contracts are living NFTs that show the history, and likely future, of its collectors’ NFT collections. When you mint a Social Contract you’re shown a full visualization of your time in the NFT space, which includes not only the projects you’ve minted, but who else you’ve minted them with.
