The Great Wave DAO

The Great Wave DAO (TGW) is a community of artists and creators that builds direct connections with fans. TGW aims to connect artists directly to fans who are invested in them and crowdsource funding for them in exchange for equity in the artistic work. We are looking to give power to creators to connect with and monetise their connection to audiences that are invested in their unique sound. We believe artists should be given equity in a platform for their work, thus incentivising them to collaborate and help grow an ecosystem they have ownership of.
