It’s time to fight for the right to create. Today, @a16zcrypto, @standwithcrypto, @opensea are kickstarting the Creator Defense Fund, a legal defense fund for creators using blockchain technology to connect with fans, monetize their work, and bring creativity to the world. We’re contributing $1M and partnering with top law firms to offer legal services and consultations for artists and creators who are facing potential government action or simply want to ensure they are structuring their NFT projects in a legal and compliant manner.
