They both know that the most powerful move is listening — and the second most powerful is knowing when not to play.

It's about what you don't do.

Hello Family!!!

Tony Greenberg and Wulf Kaal are hitting the road and heading to Davos for the World Economic Forum May 22-26. Tim Lewis and Dustin Boyer are staying with ius

We are coming to primarily support DevXDao, Casper, and talk about a new and powerful endeavor:  Menagerie, which supports both and other amazing projects. This is a list to my current portfolio. ramprate.com/tonyg

Menagerie provides a fun, easy-to-use, intuitive design for community building in Web3. For clubs, corporations, DAOs, nonprofits, and more. Heavyweight decentralized governance engine and guidance. We are partnered with Eric Pulier and Vatom Labs. 

Menagerie is a community-building platform that allows clients to clone the governance design of the Menagerie platform for their online communities in minutes through five identifiable governance setups.

Communities can organize around

  • 1. Ideas
  • 2. Work
  • 3. Governance
  • 4. Sponsors
  • 5. Testing

Menagerie is revolutionizing the way communities are created and managed. At its core, Menagerie offers a powerful governance cloning and forking engine, designed to simplify the process of community creation. This innovative tool allows users to replicate and customize governance structures effortlessly, ensuring that each community is tailored to its unique needs and goals.

One of the standout features of Menagerie is its integration of key payment rails. This means that managing financial transactions within the community is seamless and efficient. Whether it’s collecting membership fees, processing donations, or handling other financial activities, Menagerie has it covered. This integration not only streamlines operations but also enhances transparency and trust within the community.

Menagerie also boasts user-friendly dashboards that provide a comprehensive overview of all community engagements. These dashboards are designed with simplicity and functionality in mind, making it easy for users to navigate and manage their communities. With everything in one place, users can quickly see where they need to act and make informed decisions to keep their communities thriving.

The beauty of Menagerie lies in its ability to bring all these elements together in a cohesive and intuitive platform. Users no longer have to juggle multiple tools and systems to manage their communities. Instead, Menagerie offers a one-stop solution that simplifies governance, financial management, and community engagement.

Imagine being able to clone a successful governance model and adapt it to your own community with just a few clicks. Menagerie makes this possible, empowering users to build and grow their communities with confidence. The platform’s easy-to-use dashboards provide real-time insights into community activities, helping users stay on top of their responsibilities and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.

In addition to its practical features, Menagerie fosters a sense of connection and collaboration among community members. By providing a transparent and efficient governance structure, Menagerie helps build trust and encourages active participation. This, in turn, leads to stronger, more vibrant communities that can achieve their collective goals.

Why this matters now

We are living through the largest transfer of wealth, power, and attention in human history. Every essay on this site is a dispatch from the front lines of that fight — naming what's extractive, building what replaces it. If this one landed, it's because the question it raises hasn't been answered yet — and probably won't be by the people currently in charge of answering it.
