Together project information release 💖 We're very excited to share a lot of new information today and recap some already existing information in one place. 🤝

What we'll cover: Problems being solved and their solutions FAQ Community Value Where funds go How the community works Design refresh and NFT preview

Problems and Solutions: Problem: Community builders in web3 often need more time outside of their work to devote to learning new skills and discovering new tools. Solution: Teamwork and co-creation offers a way to get credit for work, spending little time for the most value.

Problems and Solutions: Problem: We need help networking with others in the industry in meaningful ways. Solution: Learning experiences and unique networking opportunities will consistently be available via hybrid events, Spaces, and some IRL activations.

Community Value: We utilize no-code and web3 tooling to enhance the Together community and the communities we manage and work with. Every move we strategically make makes crypto/web3 more whole, diverse, simple, and exciting for curious users.

How will funds be used? Funds from the mint will be used to pay team members for their hard work on the project and into a treasury for future needs. Funds from all coursework led by the community will be dispersed to guest speakers, the team, and kept in a treasury.

How will funds be used? We are open to sponsorships and funding from partners as well, please get in touch with Riley for further information. Sponsorship funds will be used for IRL event activations and scholarships for courses.

How does the community work? We've been gathering, sharing resources and partnering with communities in Twitter group chat for months. After minting our NFT we will move chat to the @xcollectiv Discord, most of our daily community work will be done in @wonderverse_xyz.

How does the community work? The @wonderverse_xyz space will be token-gated, so without an NFT from the collection, you will not be able to participate in the activities. However, as activities and tooling are rolled out, most items will be available to the public.

How does the community work? Cohorts based on community skills will allow members to gain experience in any field of the industry they choose. These include Spaces hosts, event coordination, design, marketing, education, public speaking, administration, management, and more.

If you've made it this far, you're amazing, so here's your reward! A design refresh for Together! The incredible @mrsannavargas helped put this brand guide together for us. We're very excited to chat about the inspiration for this design.

And the moment you've been waiting for! An NFT preview reveal! We spent a lot of time working on this *generative* design and aesthetic, and though it isn't a PFP (not necessary for our needs or community), the team is incredibly proud of this art and our future artwork ideas.

The Together community looks forward to serving web3 in all possible ways, and we couldn't be happier to be building at a time when community is more needed than ever in crypto. Thank you for reading, and if you have any questions, my DMs are always open. 💖 🤝
