In the Near Digital Collective (NDC), I managed a team that distributed over $1.2 million in grants globally, while leading social media and community efforts. With Proof of Vibes, I\u2019ve curated experiences around the world, built partnerships, and secured sponsorships through collaboration with local businesses.\n\nAnt Seasoned Creative Executive, Anthony Marshall co-founded the Lyricist Lounge, at the age of 16. What started as MCs congregating in a rehearsal studio soon turned into one of Hip Hop\u2019s most respected brands. Establishing the Lyricist Lounge as a platform & blueprint for discovering emerging Hip Hop talent. Mr. Marshall helped develop a Hip Hop musical/comedy sketch show entitled \u2018The Lyricist Lounge Show\u2019. The show was then sold to MTV and became one of their highest rated programs. In 2005, he helped to launch \u2019Current TV\u2019 [Al Gore's TV network], aiding in the development of the company's VC2 (Viewer Created Content) initiative. In 2009, he developed an HIV awareness campaign named 'Greater Than AIDS' [Kaiser Family Foundation].

Each tribe is characterized by a distinct atmosphere, or vibe, that mirrors its collective sentiment.\n\nThrough the lens of PoV, we're introducing a platform that harnesses your personal vibe to connect you with your rightful tribe. When you switch to your specific community, you'll encounter spaces, individuals, and elements that resonate with your identity, making you feel a sense of belonging. From there, you can select events to attend, facilitating connections with like-minded tribe members. This journey also leads you to explore different tribes and their unique vibes.\n\nWHY?\n\nVibes possess multifaceted dimensions, permeating all aspects of life. They encapsulate distinctive emotions or qualities that are palpable. Vibes hold significance due to their influence on thoughts, triggering ideas and perspectives, ultimately driving purposeful actions. A gut instinct acts as a valuable gauge in evaluating various scenarios. Your response, influenced by your vibrational state and emotional intelligence, ripples into either constructive or detrimental outcomes.\n\nFollowing numerous unsatisfactory encounters with events, products, or individuals, the concept emerged to identify, document, and champion \"good vibes.\" This endeavor also involves acknowledging and rewarding members as verifiers. Ranging from realms like fashion, music, entertainment, art, and food, we've consistently applied a Web3 approach to our Vibe Checks model, delving deeper into the digital landscape. Notably, two observations stood out: the prominence of NFTs as a buzzword and the growing demand for improved community engagement within the Web 3 sphere.\n\nIn essence, Web3 necessitates enhanced community integration, spaces for growth, and reliable validation.\n\nArmed with these insights, we embarked on a mission to quantify the presence of \"good vibes on chain\" while progressing further.\n\nThrough Proof of Vibes, a meticulously curated platform, our aspiration is for users to accumulate Vibe Checks, our inherent point system, by validating individuals, locations, and entities. These accumulated VIBE CHECKS then unlock privileges, unique experiences, and exclusive merchandise within the platform.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "Vibesproof"}, "recipient": "0x4A9E7350a6E6b1ab6d28437980cE264C05b35D37"}}
