Hopes, Dreams, Beans
Welcome to the BeaniverseA spawn of the Nouniverse. I believe the future of crypto will increasingly look and feel nounish. Nouns have helped pave the way for public goods and pioneered all kinds of new infra for creators to explore their own ecosystems. At this point, I’m sure there is a bit of nouns fork fatigue but truthfully I am surprised there aren’t more forks exploring their own characters, brand, and missions. It’s our goal at BEANSDAO to do exactly that while following our own north...
