In partnership with the Ace Hotel Global Artist in Residency (AiR) Program & Superchief NFT, FWB is seeking submissions for a month-long artist residency at the Palm Springs Ace Hotel & Swim Club. For the month of January, the selected artist will live at the property, producing a body of work to exhibit on site for the month of February. Kicking off the exhibition will be a Weekender celebration at the Hotel, final date to be determined. Selected open edition works produced during the residency will be minted on @zora and distributed via FWB's channels. Mint specifics will be determined with the artist, FWB and Superchief NFT. https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xa8402dd15b36158d1fc8a8156b15b37f573bf89d/8?referrer=0x6259b4835d3b406a5429c3ebe3c15da2a0cea82f

Emerging tech founders are in search of the elusive, alchemical reaction of product-market-fit. But the industry lacks the spark to transform technical functionality into meaningful consumer experiences. The missing spark is what we call "Designing For Desire." Successful design goes beyond the superficiality of aesthetics and the pragmatism of functionality—it demands a deep dive into our being, our ontology. What does this look like in practice? We’ve assembled 10 rules for web3 builders to bring this into sharp relief. Our first 5: 1. Evolve relentlessly with user feedback, refining web3 tools for dynamic growth & relevance. 2. Anchor every design decision in user needs to magnify experiences & interactions. 3. Harness the power of diverse disciplines to catalyze innovation within projects. 4. Champion ethical integrity by embedding social responsibility deeply within every facet of development. 5. Cultivate a culture of creativity & risk to unlock groundbreaking solutions & propel innovation.

Merchants at @fwb FEST 24 saved an average of 3% on every transaction made on-site. This is all thanks to Bend and the stablecoins supported on @base and @optimism. Attendees only needed to hold a balance of their preferred stablecoin, and Bend took care of the rest!

Earlier in August, Bend brought payments onchain for @fwb FEST 24. Hear directly from @shahrukh and @rts from the Bend team on how they thought it all went down!
