⚡️ Vision 2022: We’re the first Asian-American community-focused DAO.

DAOTaiFung is a DAO consisting of diverse talent (leading crypto startup founders & employees, developers, artists, whales/VC investors, lawyers, bankers) who share a common vision around growing the AAPI community in the web3 world.

As part of our initiative, we would like to offer a platform for NFT launches and be a VC incubator/studio for new NFT projects, offering unparalleled expertise through a wide network of engineering, design, art, legal, marketing, partnerships, and tokenomics talent.

🌃 Origins

A group of ~50 friends that wanted to buy a CryptoPunk, together.

In November 2021, we created DAOTaiFung (DTF).

We raised 160 ETH and became the 5th largest DAO on Juicebox at one point.

We made our first acquisition of many, CryptoPunk #5878.

Ain’t she a beaut 😊

🦍 Current DTF Community

An elite mix of startup founders, developers, and web2/web3 builders.

We are 50+ strong. The original DAOTaiFung community is full of software engineers, lawyers, and tech entrepreneurs. We’re spread across big tech, crypto, and founders of successful tech startup exits. We have members who have been in the blockchain space since 2011.

We are all unified in our love of decentralization and web3.
