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.
