Why
the NYT Should be Tokenized. Forefront
Core Contributor Joey DeBruin does it again with
his follow-up to "All SaaS Should be
Tokenized." This essay explores how
the NYT might shift its business model toward
tokenization, and why the consumer upside and UX
benefits make this a great choice for media
companies at large. FRESH (HOT) TAKE

$DAMN
by Gaby Goldberg & Kiran
Cherukuri. First came DAOs, now
come DAMNs. Kiran and Gaby raised 25 ETH for the
first decentralized autonomous media network. A
DAMN is partially defined by its minimal
governance and mandate: create and distribute
media. While Kiran is working on a protocol
designed specifically for this purpose, DAMN
serves as a great experiment and playbook for
the future. HOT DAMN

Governance
as a Source of Value. Sam McCarthy of
Boardroom explores why governance is a valuable
utility, partially driving a token’s price.
Additionally, the author explores an idea
he calls "governance premium," a metric
isolating and measuring the governance power of
a token. MINIMUM VIABLE ROUTE 🛣

FWB
Fellowships. In another effort to
increase FWB’s accessibility to creatives
everywhere, the DAO launched FWB Fellowships, "a
program promoting access for exceptional
creatives into our community, awarded on the
basis of merit, need, and
representation." The program will award
token grants to ~20 new FWB members per season.

The
DAOnfall of Token Voting. When you
hear Orca, you should think of Pods. In this
piece, the Orca team explores the downfalls of
DAO governance today, driven in large part by
token-based voting. They propose Pods, “small
working groups, usually centered around one
expertise,” as a potential solution. SQUAD
