WAC Factory
We are inviting you to work with us to create the foundation for future projects and uses of the Tezos blockchain in the Arts & Culture field. Together with twelve cultural institutions, we will create opportunities for development and experimentation by co-creating open-source projects on the Tezos blockchain with the goal of testing and implementing them in the near future. This effort is intended to go beyond the current trend of drops and collectibles on blockchain.
WAC Factory is integrated within the WAC Fellowship, during the last 4 weeks.
