Or so they say. Yet few understand what it is, for better or worse. To the ardent critic, Higher is a unsupervised jumble. Decentralized yes, autonomous maybe, but organized? Definitely not. How does higher move as a coordinated unit, or maybe a better question - should higher move as a coordinated unit?

IMO higher should not strive for top-down coordination, because that eventually burns out; instead, we should strive for self-organized alignment. But what does that actually mean? Here I argue that aligning oneself with the network is actually pretty straightforward. Higher is the dreamers' network and $higher incentivizes dreams. If one aligns themselves with the token, then they automatically align themselves with the network.

For this to work, we need both sides of the equation to believe in something.

1. Builders commit to aligning themselves with the token when striving for their dreams - either by providing utility, or by pledging to buy back tokens with fees taken.

2. Members commit to supporting aligned builders in achieving their dreams - either by collecting art /music / writing, or by using apps and sharing with others.

"How do I join higher?"

There is no process, just do it.

Do what? - Think of what you want to achieve or become better at, then go do it.

And what about the network? - You can give back to the network through token buybacks or providing token utility (e.g., selling art denominated in $higher, airdropping music nfts to $higher holders)

"Why should I join higher?"

Higher is the dreamers' network. Its mission is to support aspirations and connect aspirants together. That's what higher together means.

By plugging into a network of higher-minded individuals, you leveraging the strength of the community. The higher network enhances distribution and encourages new forms of art not otherwise possible. For this reason, it is important that you support open-source and cc0. Permissionless building makes it easier for the network to self-coordinate without restriction.

In 2025, I aspire to improving my illustration skills. Have been inspired (you really thought my whole quote thread was for show?) by 80s anime style, and really want to be able to use more stylized brushes, color palettes, dynamic action poses etc.

I will be exploring and practicing these styles throughout 2025, posting my works-in-progress on zora or rodeo. You can support me by minting some of the works there!

In return, I publicly commit to buying back $higher from any fees used to mint these works. My goal is to earn 1M $higher in 2025 and demonstrate how you can join the higher network from scratch.

In addition, I will support the higher network by featuring any Higher themed merch in my illustrations, all of which will be offered as CC0 for anyone to use. Together, we can bring more recognition to Higher-aligned brands.

In 2025, we go higher still.
