Late 2021 having great ‘vibes’ in a web3 community was the ultimate signal that “this was a the place to be.”

7 Months later it’s hardly being used.

Vibes are dead.

What happened to the vibes?

The same thing that happens when your crush for someone wares off. At first the relationship is vibing, there is so much to explore, the future is ripe with possibility and you just have so much fun together! Then after a few months you realized that they are still human, unorganized and their breath stinks. Things are not as easy as they were and it’s probably best to take a break.

The rising of DAO movement to an eager but naïve millennial and gen-x population was like this new crush.

We realized that it’s going to take more that good ‘vibes’ to build meaningful structures that have the power to change the world.

We realized that its going to take a sustainable deployment of safety, belonging, dedication, intention, experimentation and planning to create the future we want.

And on top of that, perhaps a healthy dose of vibes will make the process more fun.
