Phil Mohun is an early member of Purple and a founding DAO member of the arts community at Bright Moments. Working with generative and AI artists to produce iconic, real world experiences of their art. To join Bright Moments DAO, you collect a CryptoCitizens NFT which is a collection being minted in a global tour of cities for IRL minting events.
Chris and Phil met each other through joining Purple DAO which took form in the Farcaster community and ecosystem of builders in Ethereum. When it dropped, people’s profile pics started turning purple. Purple was an early DAO launched with Nouns Builder. The daily auction is up to #257.
We talk about experiences behind the scenes at Purple. Contentious votes and ideas about DAO governance. The urgent need and opportunity to build out the web3 social ecosystem. What they like about the properties of Farcaster. And the potential for DAOs like Purple to fund public goods and open source projects in ways that don’t always require a profit incentive.
