JFC I SHOULD READ A BOOK
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
We are, in fact, advocating for offchain activities like reading a book. We suggest doing it while touching grass, which you can self-facilitate at a grassy knoll near you or, better yet, do it at FEST with all your friends. Two weeks, babes 😮💨
Mint our Migration Collectible in the meantime, and prepare to join the $FWB Migration party. Details below.
NYC friends — join FWB member Brian McHale on a photo walk this Saturday.

$FWB IS MIGRATING TO BASE
$FWB is strategically migrating the $FWB token from Ethereum Mainnet to Base Layer 2, and introducing a new arcade token, $Benefits. Commemorate this canonical lore by minting our collectible on Zora.
We’re throwing a Party to crowdfund 100 ETH for the $FWB Migration. The Party opens on Monday, July 29th. Contributors to the Party crowdfund are eligible for $Benefits and will support the ongoing evolution of the $FWB token ecosystem.
This evolution of our token ecosystem is a milestone for FWB. Born from a squad of culture makers interested in emerging technology, we have always been a community of trendsetting experimentalists. Much much more to come on the migration. In the meantime, mark your calendars with these migration milestones, and review the passed proposal for additional questions.

Since day one, Base has rallied a community of builders working to create a decentralized future onchain, together. We’ve seen the impact of collective action to reshape the internet, and now with the 1-year anniversary of Base mainnet coming up this August, we’re bringing the community together in person with BaseCamp, our inaugural gathering of builders and creators building the next generation of the internet onchain.
TYSM TO OUR FEST PARTNERS
Our 2024 cohort of presenting partners include Base, Eco, LUKSO, Stellar Development Foundation, Uniswap, and Worldcoin. Special thanks to Lens, Livepeer, MetaStreet, Phosphor, PUSH, and Optimism for their collaboration. Incredible activations are coming to FEST.
Deep and many thanks to our FEST host, Idyllwild Arts Academy
Nestled amidst the breathtakingly beautiful village of Idyllwild, high in the San Jacinto mountains of Southern California, the Idyllwild Arts campus serves as a peaceful respite for artists seeking to explore the depths of their creativity and join a broader creative collective through the Academy (an international boarding arts high school) or the Summer Program (an immersive arts camp for all ages).
Idyllwild Arts respectfully acknowledges the Qawishpa Cahuillangnah (also known as Cahuilla Band of Indians) and all nine sovereign Bands of Cahuilla people who have stewarded this land throughout the generations and continue to steward this land for all future generations.
