We’re Protein, a place where people and ideas grow 🌱
The term growth has become unavoidably toxic in our capitalist world - powered by the extraction and exploitation of people and communities in the name of money. There’s a clear need to shift the systems in power to enable a community-led, rather than corporation-led world. Web3 technologies have opened the doors to a more collaborative, decentralised, and equitable future. With these new tools, an opportunity emerges to reclaim power, redistribute influence, and redefine our relationship with growth - allowing you to own the decisions, actions, and value you create.
For Protein, this means rebuilding our community from the ground up, to create a place that encourages and nurtures this new definition of growth based on mutual collaboration, conversation, and the needs of our members. That’s why today, we’re launching the $PRTN token, a social token that allows holders to gain access, create value, and be in control - whilst also playing a vital and exciting part in the future of decentralised communities and DAOs.
Our 50 or so Founder Members will be the first holders of $PRTN and are already collectively exploring how we can reimagine the concept of growth through new, more mutual, models of conversation and collaboration. Our Pre-Season asks questions like..."As a community, how can we really help people and ideas grow?” and “What can good growth mean to decentralised communities?”
You can see a breakdown of our pre-season timeline below
If our mission for reimagining growth resonates with you, join our waitlist for the chance to be part of Season 1. We’ve always believed in creating by the community for the community, so can’t wait to rebuild ours with you 💫

About Protein
Protein is a place where people and ideas grow 🌱 We do this through our global community, agency, and studio space. We believe we’ve all got a responsibility to think and act bigger than ourselves and that "good growth" can only be achieved by balancing progress, profit, and purpose.

ProteinCohort-based DAO Onboarding
This piece is written by Deniz, Community Design Lead for the Protein Community. Deniz thinks deeply about community design, community strategy, and digital culture. TL;DR Onboarding is a make-or-break moment for any kind of online community experience. DAO onboarding should make the mission of the DAO, the language spoken, and how to contribute super clear and solve some pressing pain points emerging from decentralized coordination. For this purpose, I decided to design an 8-day long cohort-...
ProteinIntroducing PRTN Guest Pass
TL;DR - PRTN Guest Pass is an invite-only on-chain pass that gives you 30 days of full access to the PRTN Community. As DAOs begin to mature, strong membership incentives and token utility are key to maintaining community health, thoughtful growth, and reducing contributor churn. These need to start from the second someone discovers your community, continues with every interaction, and are tested every time the token price goes up or down. These two factors are the main reasons members want t...
ProteinAnecdotes of 'Anecdotal Archives' 💚
Revisiting Anecdotal Archives: Recently the Anecdotal Archives website finally went live! Due to a lack of USDC funding in the Protein Community last year, the project had to be put on hold, meaning that the project was never officially launched publicly. Now, as we create the Dirty Words ‘Community’ Report in collaboration with Protein Agency, it seems like the perfect time to revisit and celebrate this important, community-led project. The Anecdotal Archives project was led by Protein Found...
