what's refraction?

Refraction is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that operates as a global creative community uniting artists, curators, technicians, and fans in the web3 space. It focuses on reimagining live experiences through on-chain and in-real-life (IRL) events, blending music, art, and culture with blockchain technology. The cornerstone of Refraction is its annual festival, which spans multiple cities across continents and features performances, installations, and collaborative projects fully integrated with decentralized protocols. The DAO enables community ownership and governance of festivals, ongoing events, and physical spaces worldwide. Participants engage via NFTs and on-chain mechanisms to curate content, vote on initiatives, and co-create immersive experiences that bridge digital and physical worlds. Refraction emphasizes open metaverses, artist fellowships, and partnerships with protocols like Lens for narrative-driven ownership on the blockchain.

Refraction onboarded 500+ users to global accounts in Buenos Aires via physical locations using Privy.
