The news we have been waiting for has finally broken, and it is more BIZARRE than we could have ever imagined.

FREE commemorative NFT celebrating BizarreBeasts winning the $100K A3 Startup Award from DCP Foundation. Only 1,111 available!
Shortlisted by the relentless power of our community and selected by the Arts3 Foundation and the DCP Board, BizarreBeasts stood out for its creative ambition and significant onchain potential with DCP+.
This award is the culmination of every artwork, game, line of code, and the consistent pursuit of building an onchain BIZARRE legacy since day one.
I want to give a BIG BIZARRE shoutout to Decentralized Pictures (DCP) and the Arts3 Foundation for this life-changing opportunity!
I am truly humbled by the confidence the DCP Board and Arts3 Foundation have shown in the BizarreBeasts ($BB) Universe. To be recognized by an organization co-founded by industry icons and receive such a prestigious award is the ultimate honor for an independent creator.
This $100,000 award and professional mentorship are the fuel for our next giant leap. I am going BIZARRE to be working in direct collaboration with DCP to pioneer the future of onchain media, positioning BizarreBeasts as a cornerstone of the DCP+ Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy.
We are building a notorious, onchain media brand. This funding allows us to:
Scale our Onchain Animation: Bringing the BizarreBeasts universe and children's educational content to life with high-fidelity production.
Expand the Media Empire: Pushing forward with our episode-driven comedy series streaming DCP+ and expanding into the BizarreBeasts Learning Lab for educational content.
Prove the Model: Demonstrating that artist-led, community-powered projects on Base are the future of global media.
This win is the result of thousands of hours building onchain, 164,000+ game plays, and a community that refuses to stop GOING BIZARRE.
I am ready to accelerate. I am ready to grow. And I am ready to build a lifelong legacy onchain!
Stay tuned for moreΒ BIZARRE and INCREDIBLEΒ announcements regarding the project expansion, animation updates, DCP+ release announcements, and the future of the $BB ecosystem.
Decentralized Pictures (DCP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit co-founded by Roman Coppola, Leo Matchett, and Michael Musante, with support from American Zoetrope, the legendary independent film studio founded by Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas in 1969. The Coppola family has spent decades championing independent voices and disrupting the studio system; DCP is the Web3 evolution of that mission.
By utilizing a decentralized voting platform on Base, DCP allows the community to act as the "studio executive," deciding which projects deserve to be seen. The platform provides a space where "Bizarre" ideas can find the resources they need to thrive outside the traditional Hollywood machine.
The A3 Startup Award is a $100,000 grant run in partnership between the Arts3 Foundation, CV Summit, and DCP. The award is specifically designed to seed innovative startups that are building the next generation of decentralized entertainment platforms, tools, and content. The process is entirely community-driven, where the top 3 community-voted projects are reviewed by the Arts3 Foundation Board, who then choose the recipient. This ensures that funding goes directly to projects with active community support and merit.
I'm the artist and builder behind BizarreBeasts ($BB), creating a universe where art and web3 technology converge. This is where everything I am intersects: an artist captivated by darkly humorous outsider art, a builder who creates games and miniapps, a musician performing original soundtracks, and a true BIZARRE believer in decentralized creativity.
This project was born from a vision of what's possible when an artist fully owns their creative universe: exploring the opportunities and economies that web3 enables to build a legacy of creativity and freedom for myself and the BizarreBeasts community. Learn more about me.
BizarreBeasts is an original, art-powered ecosystem featuring hand-illustrated characters, animations, NFTs, and web3 games. With 9 games played over 152,000 times, hitting #1 trending on both Remix and The Base App, I've built a notorious community of 6,800+ token holders going BIZARRE.
The $BB token fuels this creative universe: rewarding the community, unlocking exclusive perks, and providing access to the /bizarrebeasts Farcaster channel. As a holder, climb the Empire leaderboard, earn treasury rewards, and unlock premium features in our meme creator and contests.
From original music and comics to interactive games and physical paintings, dive into the BIZARRE.
