tl;dr CryptoMCs are the world’s first Hip-Hop & RnB trading card NFTs that transcend beyond digital collectibles. Created by “The Culture” DAO, these NFTs incentivize secondary market activity – aka clout. During the launch, 2500 CryptoMCs will drop. At that time each CryptoMC owner will be airdropped 5000 $DOPE tokens and the Culture DAO community will be unlocked.

There’s culture and then there’s “The Culture”

Throughout the growth of social media, we’ve seen how “The Culture” has impacted how we speak, how we dance, and even how we behave online and offline. The Culture is a trailblazer in social justice and the origin point for countless trends that have taken the world by storm.

“The Culture'' we're referring to is Black culture and the term can be abstract, so if you’re having a hard time articulating what Black culture is think of our religion, forms of entertainment, derivatives of English language (ebonics and blaccent), culinary staples, fashion choices, and art.

A breakdown of  “the culture” could probably be an entire book of its own. While “The Culture”  was created by us, it appears that everybody has benefited from the culture but us. Those who drive “The Culture” have been an afterthought and the things that are created often get thrown into consumer capitalism that generates billions of dollars. Unfortunately, the people rarely see a fraction of that.

Until now...

Web 3 has opened up doors that will allow us to materialize the impact of “The Culture” and reward the people who drive it.  Movements like #CryptoCookout are champions in fractionalized ownership in the Black NFT community. We’ve seen projects like Friends with Benefits introduce us to tokenized communities based on social bonds, shared value, and a collective approach to creating. As well as an emergence of NFT DAOS, which allows its members to collectively build “high value” NFTs portfolios.

The Introduction

Today, we’re building the world’s first Hip Hop & R&B NFT DAO, called The Culture DAO, where we’re reimagining the application of collective creativity, NFT fractionalization & liquidity, trustless systems, fair decision making, and tokenized communities.

Let’s get into what we bring to the table: :

Collective Creativity: A NFT community that decides the creative direction and production of its NFTs.

We imagine a metaverse where creative minds are inspired to make history with CryptoMC collections while taking action on their inspirations. The Culture DAO enables its community to be active participants in creating, coordinating, and releasing CryptoMC collections. This means that the community will choose the Hip Hop and/or R&B artists featured, the style of the trading cards, the budget for producing them as well as the designer who will bring the community’s vision to light. It all starts with a proposal and a community vote with $DOPE tokens. The Culture DAO proposals will be created on Snapshot, a gasless, user-friendly voting platform. Our community-generated NFT collections make the success of CryptoMCs mutually beneficial for everyone involved and of course, $DOPE holders.

Building our treasury so the entire community eats

$DOPE token holders govern the DAO treasury. They have the power to vote on how rewards from the sales of each CryptoMC generation are allocated and how the treasury spends its funds.

The Culture DAO’s protocol revenue is stored within the $DOPE treasury. It distributes CryptoMC sales and trading revenue to its treasury and to artists featured in CryptoMCs (via the Artist Reserve).

Take a look into how the treasury is funded:

• 33% of sales revenue from each CryptoMC generation

• 5% of Secondary trade commissions

• The treasury is also funded by profits from buying and selling NFTs acquired by the $DOPE NFT Vault

Artists featured in CryptoMCs are also rewarded, and can claim their royalties from The Culture DAO at any time. The Culture DAO has an Artist Reserve Fund, stored in a Gnosis Safe multi-sig wallet, which earns 33% of sales , 1% of trade value and makes payouts to confirmed artists’ public addresses via Sablier payment streams.

Web 3 has opened the doors for us to be able to fractionalize ownership of NFTs that we consider high value or culturally significant. Right now, there are amazing projects to facilitate this but the process is somewhat fragmented and illiquid.

The Culture DAO is a vehicle for NFT fractionalization by way of the $DOPE NFT vault. The $DOPE NFT Vault purchases, holds, and sells the world’s rarest Hip Hop and R&B NFTs as directed by $DOPE token holders who govern The Culture. The Culture DAO can also decide whether to acquire Blue Chip NFTs to store in the $DOPE NFT Vault or when to sell NFT assets.

All profits are paid out to The Culture DAO treasury which $DOPE token holders control. $DOPE token holders can vote to have rewards paid proportionally to the amount of $DOPE tokens each token holder has over the circulating supply of $DOPE tokens at the time of reward distribution.

Think about this ...

What if you could own a piece of a crypto punk? What would that change for you or your children? Owning a piece of cultural history is new for us, many of us come from families where we will be the first to create generational wealth. Right now, with crypto assets, we have an opportunity to pass on a new asset class to our families without speculatively spending our life savings or entering illiquid NFT pools.

The better CryptoMCs and The Culture DAO does, the more the $DOPE tokens are demanded by the community. $DOPE token holders are rewarded when each CryptoMCs generation increases in popularity and market demand, the $DOPE Vault sells a NFT at a profit and through popularity yield.

The Culture DAO focuses on building a community of $DOPE holders who are also the drivers of creation, managers of the treasury, and stewards of the community.

NFTs present an opportunity for community members to collaborate on proposals and contribute to something in the crypto world that feels tangible. The ability to create new generations of CryptoMCs lowers the barrier for anyone who may feel like they’re “not technical enough” to contribute to a DAO or NFT project.

The Culture DAO incentivizes participation and we do this by making it super easy. We’ll use tools like Snapshot, discord, notion, video chat and emails for communication.

The Culture DAO allows us to share values in a trusted environment where we can trust in the code to uphold the rules we set. It is constructed as a set of Ethereum smart contracts: 1 Governance smart contract, 1 NFT contract, and 1 ERC20 smart contract. The governance smart contract controls the NFT and ERC20 smart contracts and ensures all $DOPE token holder votes are implemented.

Token holders can vote on how the treasury spends its funds, governance changes, reward distribution, NFT creation & destruction, artist reserve, NFT $DOPE Vault and community grants. Community members need at least 5 $DOPE tokens to vote on proposals and 500 $DOPE tokens to submit a proposal.

Figure 3.0 provides a high level overview of how The Culture DAO is constructed and how capital flows throughout.

The Culture DAO is segmented in to various parts, each with its own responsibilities - all governed by the $DOPE token holders.

Hip-hop culture has become one of the most far-reaching arts movements of the past three decades (Jeff Chang, It’s a Hip Hop World) and it's time for us to transcend the power of that art into Web 3. Hip-hop is an important element of The Culture and has always been a voice for the people driving the culture.

Launching The Culture DAO will be another step in the direction to put “The Culture” in a position to monetize itself for the influence it drives and The Culture DAO is only the start. This will be one of the $DOPE-est movements in crypto. We’re adding the culture, bridging the gap, and asking YOU to join us.

We would like to welcome you to the CryptoMCs universe, governed by The Culture DAO.

In December 2021, we’re dropping the GEN0 Collection of CryptoMCs, the world’s first Hip-Hop and R&B trading card NFTs. Each MC comes in the form of a randomly generated MP4 file.

There will be 2500 CryptoMCs, each CryptoMC owner will be airdropped 5000 $DOPE tokens and the Culture DAO community will be unlocked.

If you're reading this you've been a driver of the "The Culture" in some way. Now this your opportunity for you to get rewarded by being in the driver seat for all these years.

Join The Culture DAO, let's prosper together. You can start by getting your $DOPE here.
