At the heart of our **community strategy is a commitment to open conversation.** Anyone who has been in Web3 for any length of time has experienced the need for this. You’ve been in a telegram and made a simple observation about a potential problem for a project. The result? “OMG don’t fud!” “Mods can we ban the troll?”. 

First and foremost, we hope to **foster a community that welcomes any opinion (on crypto)**, as long as it is presented in a thoughtful way. 

We have looked to combine this with a lighthearted meme culture to great effect. As we have stated elsewhere, we believe that **fostering a fun environment is key to developing community.** Even though we are one of the smallest projects on Metis, our community/telegram is more active than most.

We believe what drives this is:

-   Team members actively participating in ecosystem events. 

-   Integrating memes and illustrations with our messaging.

-   Providing easy to understand information on our website. 

-   Voicing unspoken or "unpopular" opinions. 

-   Not taking ourselves too seriously.
