Friends with Benefits

Friends with Benefits (FWB) is a token-gated social DAO and cultural community at the intersection of web3, art, music, and technology. Membership is gated by holding the $FWB ERC-20 token, which unlocks access to the community's Discord, local city chapters, IRL events, and editorial and creative programming. Backed by a16z crypto, FWB is one of the most cited examples of a social DAO. It is a community organization rather than an API provider: as of this profile it exposes no public developer API, OpenAPI definition, or developer portal, and its primary web presence (fwb.help) is a membership site. This entry was surfaced as an a16z portfolio company and added to the API Evangelist network as an enrichment lead.

Friends with Benefits is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, DAO, Web3, Social, and Community.
