A brief history of FWB development: the principle of minimalism, progressive decentralization
FWB brand philosophy: use vibe to unify product, media and business value
If you have been in Web3 for a while, you should be familiar with Friends with Benefits (FWB). In September 2021, a16z and others invested in FWB at a valuation of 100 million US dollars , this encryption culture club is still the star of the web3 community. When we talk about creative workers, virtual and real social networking, Generation Z, and digital cities, it is unlikely that we will bypass this OG.
If this is the first time you have heard of this mysterious organization called "Friends with Benefits": FWB is a social club that adopts a strict review system. You must apply and hold a Token to join. "It is full of artists, thinkers and creators who lead the transformation of Web3. In the eyes of encryption and cultural collision, use web3 tools to build communities and cultivate culture and creativity, and explore the next version of the world."
high? false name? Coupled with the already confusing web3 filter, the public can't understand it even more.
It is said that it is amazing, where is it? (It’s just the name, okay?) (Don’t talk about vibe with me)
Seeing is believing , this series strives to fully present the past, present, and future of FWB, including almost all FWB-related links as of May 17, 2022, for easy on-demand jumping and detailed reading, hoping to be of reference value to all kinds of people.

We kind of like Crypto Club for Anti-Crypto
——@raihan
I want my fellow creatives who are extremely skeptical of technology and finance , can see a little light here.
This is an encryption club for Token admission, but it is not a technology gathering place that only discusses encryption , many people are using encrypted wallets for the first time, and the officials have patiently introduced how to obtain and import Tokens on Uniswap and MetaMask. Culture belongs to everyone, except for the support of encryption technology, how about the real experience?

Subsequently, FWB and Prysm reached a cooperative relationship, and you can receive an exclusive nft pass for FWB.
NFT Creator Resources!
One of the missions of FWB is to improve the ecology of creators, so it has been promoting artist creation and profitability. NFT technology is the most fundamental direction of change in the industry, and most of the artistic creations in FWB are carried in the form of NFT.
“I think NFT and social tokens are much bigger than Defi. Defi disrupted banking as an industry, while NFT and social tokens disrupted every industry "
——Raoul Pal

Human network resources
FWB is full of cutting-edge talents such as entrepreneurs, artists, entrepreneurs, and community consultants. There are a large number of people who come here to precisely expand their social circle . Especially after becoming famous, the self-introduction area for new members is more like a business school...to help everyone match needs, exchange resources efficiently, and give full play to the value of "business school". Here, the exchange of resources is encouraged, and it is considered a feng shui treasure in web3 entrepreneurship where talents and project parties are eager to see each other.
Discord Exclusive Portal: #partnership Seek FWB official brand business cooperation, #promo-codes exchange invitation codes or discount coupons, # classified publishes recruitment and application news (a classified window is also provided in the weekly newspaper, and visitors can also see it), or start MLM at the #introduction of self-introduction in the group.
You can also call for local resources in the city channel, or share projects and needs in any relevant groups, or directly @industry experts for solutions. If your news is unresolved in the channel for a while, some friends will come to recommend friends of friends...
It is said that the information of Classified will be in **"too long Don't read the weekly newspaper"** published, it is more convenient to start a business and find a job.
Offline Party
This is a bunch of party animals, unofficial and semi-official There are a lot of seminars on eating, drinking and playing, and they are quite good at playing, so I won’t list them here.
However, we are very cautious in launching activities in the official name, and always ask ourselves based on industry benchmarks. So far, we have only "developed" a few flagship activities, and each time we will promote some Innovation in the form of interaction. We are trying to gradually expand to cities other than the three major SubDAOs in the way of **"progressive decentralization"**, and establish a digital city-state "effectively" and "sustainably".

Event Key
The three SubDAOs (New York, London, Los Angeles) have relatively independent Independent planning capabilities, members in other cities are also eager to move, but in order to avoid empty and deviated activities, FWB adopts a "gradual decentralization" approach, and initially opened 10 cities for pilots, and the Event Key has now been distributed.
First, read the community Manifesto and Code of Conduct , there is also a set of "Top Ambience Handbook" similar to SOP (it actually includes the model of live speakers... good), and even invited members from Berlin to come to San Francisco to learn from the scene. According to the template Application and review, pilot cities can get Gatekeeper access control system, event funds, curatorial consultant support, and contributors will also be paid. FWB will evaluate the quality of the event after the end and formulate future offline city expansion routes.

Participate in Contribution
Contributor Compensation
< /p>From the second season, FWB began to recruit experts in various fields with high salaries to build together. They are still burning money to support people.
Contributors are divided into recurring and non-recurring contributors, because the cryptocurrency market fluctuates greatly, and the rewards are in FWB, ETH and USDC /USD currency combination. According to this year's financial report, DAO The total monthly expenditure is between 40w-50w, and the total remuneration of contributors fluctuates between 30w-40w in US dollars. The numbers and proportions are still quite impressive.
Meanwhile, FWB is working with UtopiaPromote the medical insurance framework of the encryption industry together, and contributors will soon receive medical insurance.
Creating artwork is a very important form of contribution in FWB. As an artist and experimental creator, your project can apply for a garage fund of up to $10,000; apply for an artist in residence, or receive commissions and bonuses in NFT brand co-creation, hackathons.
Contribution and Remuneration
In principle, each member is of course encouraged to join at any time Any work, or initiate a project. But for newcomers, they have to figure out the process, find the right person in charge, and make a reasonable landing. They fainted to the point of giving up in 100 or 80 channels. This is also the consequence of the division of departments after DAO has developed to a certain scale. Fortunately, major improvements have been made in the sixth season, and the contribution channels are clearer:
· dis After cord cleaning, a common workflow has been sorted out The list contains all the important projects and cooperations in progress, the responsible person list and the feedback channel, and the participation process is greatly simplified.

Is FWB right for you?
Unofficial advertising time.
I personally like FWB very much, combined with my background, this is my dream love DAO, but there are really too few Chinese in the goose, similar culture It is always easier for people with backgrounds and regions to make troubles... I spent so much effort to introduce the membership experience in detail, I hope that people who are really impressed will join in and we can have fun together.
It’s okay to be a wallflower at first, everyone has this stage, I’m still a wallflower now... The key to judging whether this DAO is suitable for you is to see if it will be in the future Become a contributor in it.
If you are especially interested in the creative industry, or you are a creator yourself, but you are wary or interested in web3 Knowledge barriers, you can try to cut into this mysterious sea from FWB.
If you are a senior degen, or a social science madman who studies the governance mechanism, or is very good at cross talk, you will also be an important person. The web3 infrastructure is still the focus and the subject of experiments.
Of course, if you are wild enough and have a clear mind, that's the best. Whatever you do, there is a place for you here. One applicant was asked to provide additional information, so he recorded a video and wandered around in his room. Suddenly, a pet pig appeared. As a result, all the organizers were moved by this pig . "We hope to see more personality in the application form."
In short, FWB is suitable for young people who are unconstrained and unconstrained, and those who are ignored by mainstream culture Small culture lovers. If you are successfully promoted by me, fill out the application at JOIN FWB ! !
