BanklessDAO is undergoing both a name change and a redefinition of purpose. Helping frame and steward this set of challenges is a six member Transition Council formed earlier this year: Hiro Kennelly, Trewkat, WinVerse, Coffee Crusher, Rowan and ZFi.This episode seeks to encapsulate both the origin story of our organization and get you up to speed on how the organization is changing.To help me do that, I sat down with Rowan and ZFI, two of the six members of the transition council.ZFi has been in the crypto space since 2013 and has been active in DAOs since November 2021, when he joined Bankless DAO. His innovative problem solving and leadership in Web3 is helping shape the future of decentralized governance and strategies.Rowan first got into crypto in 2017 and is a BanklessDAO OG, though the first few months he was mostly lurking. He found his footing in DAO Operations with Sobol and mapping bDAO, after which he held a leadership role as the Coordinator of the Operations Department for several seasons. He's passionate about decentralized governance and individual sovereignty.Guest SocialsZFi: https://x.com/0xZFiRowan: https://x.com/rowan_n0Links to forum discussions and timelineRedefining Our Identity (Discourse Forum)https://forum.bankless.community/t/redefining-our-identity/10708Redefining Our Purpose (Discourse forum)https://forum.bankless.community/t/redefining-our-purpose/10694/12ReOrg Timeline (Notion, 2024 Transition Council)https://www.notion.so/bankless/35b6ad78361045c4becdc8b8c6bea2f3?v=b178b3e3ec5f400993a50f897dabc69b&pvs=4Genesis of BanklessDAO (Medium, May 4, 2021)https://medium.com/bankless-dao/announcing-bankless-dao-133220f5efd8Timestamps01:12 Introductions03:20 Origins of BanklessDAO05:45 A Grant Proposal and a Branding Issue08:15 Defining DAOs16:45 Alignment19:40 Snapshot Voting Changes and Rationale24:45 tlBANK as a signal of alignment35:30 Transition Council Activities and the ReOrg Timeline46:50 Forum Poll Results and Forward-looking Plans55:35 Musings on the Human Experiment57:00 Closing Thoughts--Today's Host - Drostehttps://x.com/EffectDrost--Making Bank is a production of the Podcast Hatchery project at BanklessDAO.

This episode of Making Bank features Lanz, a content producer, writer, NFT creator, and contributor to Bankless DAO. She is the co-founder of the Migrants NFT project, a project with efforts directed at using art to tell the stories of creatives in migrant worker communities all over the world through the use of NFTs.   The team firmly believes that storytelling is an important bridge in helping people better understand and communicate with each other. Lanz is passionate about bringing the persons in these communities in front of a global audience, where their stories and art can be better appreciated.  Timestamps:  1:54 - Venturing into the NFT space  6:03 - The drive behind the passion 12:28 - Raising funds for the cause 17:45 - On the global migrant community 24:26 - Room for involvement and participation   Links mentioned: Email: migrantsNFT@gmail.com Twitter:  https://twitter.com/migrantsnft Website:  https://migrantsnft.xyz/ Donate to Migrants NFT via GitCoin Grants: https://gitcoin.co/grants/5140/migrants-nft See the collections on Foundation.app: https://foundation.app/@migrants (1:54)  Venturing into the NFT space Lanz believes everyone should have a right to share their story. She speaks about her journey into the NFT space as a newbie. Lanz recalls that she got introduced into the space by a friend who is a photo-journalist, documenting the stories about the migrant worker community. Understanding the passion and zeal which many migrant workers put in to create the future they want for themselves, she believes their stories are worth telling. Lanz aims to use this medium to disrupt stereotypes often assumed about the migrant worker community and to provide a global audience for them to tell their stories.  (6:03) The drive behind the passion Lanz narrates a truly inspirational story of a migrant worker whom she works with. Lanz remarks how truly inspiring it is that the persons in these communities are able to keep on creating despite having to work long hours, and in many cases, under strenuous conditions. Lanz mentions the use of NFTs as a bridge to connect persons in these communities to the rest of the world; first by educating them, and then, bringing them on stage to a global audience. (12:28) Raising funds for the cause All good projects require funding to thrive. Lanz cites that the project has met the criteria to be included in funding through Gitcoin Grant donation and the NF DAO, which has been useful in covering necessary costs of running the project. Lanz commends the Gitcoin quadratic funding mechanism and cites it as a system that intentionally seeks to promote projects and initiatives that intend the most good. Lanz re-states the potential of the project to be much more than it already is and makes a call to persons who are inspired by the project to join in and grow the community. (17:45) On the global migrant community The struggles of migrants again reiterates, citing challenging working conditions and the strain associated with sending remittances back to their families in their home countries. Lanz states the need to amplify the voices of the people in this community by getting to understand them on a personal level and mapping out ways to support them. She mentions efforts to reach out to creatives in many migrant worker communities across many countries, in an effort to build a strong community. (24:26) Room for involvement and participation The Migrants NFT project will be participating in the NFT NYC event scheduled for the 21st and 22nd of June  2022 at the Rug Radio gallery and SuperChief gallery where they intend to showcase their collection from the two projects they have launched so far, the Foundation Work/Life and Forever Dream projects. Lanz again makes the call for involvement by contributors who believe in, and want to be a part of the project. ----more---- Today's Host - Droste https://twitter.com/EffectDrost --- Making Bank is a production of the Podcast Hatchery project at BanklessDAO.  The content presented is strictly for information and entertainment purposes.
