Podcasts - Proof Collective

In this episode, Carly sits in studio with the founding team behind PROOF Collective and Moonbirds, Kevin Rose, Ryan Carson, & Justin Mezzell. Moonbirds is PROOF’s first 10k pfp project that’s launching on April 16th.

Could this be the most successful project drop of the year? Ever? The team behind it definitely has the experience, creativity, and influence to put this hypothesis to the test. Kevin and the team also leak major alpha around a new all-star engineer who will be joining them shortly.

Who might that be? What innovations are they going to deploy? What decisions were made with their drop mechanics and why? How are they thinking about building out their own interoperable metaverse? Find out the answers to these questions and so much more in the interview.
