“Today, we raise our shield to protect a foundational part of the crypto community. Alongside OpenSea and A16z Crypto, we are launching a $6 million legal defense fund for NFT creators. Creatives can now stand up to misguided actions from the SEC.”

On its officialwebsite, Stand With Crypto says that the fund aims to legally defend creators against “public policy failures and bad-faith attacks on those looking to build on blockchain technology.”

“This partnership is about defending artists and creators who seek to harness the power of blockchain technology while galvanizing the crypto community to advocate for our collective rights…

Artists, creators, and builders who have been contacted by the SEC or who are concerned about potential litigation due to their use of blockchain technology can apply for representation.”

Coinbaselaunched the Stand With Crypto advocacy group in August 2023 to help the digital assets industry focus on directly engaging with lawmakers and the legislative process to ensure the future of crypto in the US.

Block Chain Dungeon
Once upon a time... a little boy named Leo loved to paint, draw and experiment. He also loved to play with blocks and chains, which drew him again and again into the rooms of his friends Michel and Angelo. Often they also met in virtual rooms of Cryptovoxels, Decentraland, Somnium Space or Sandbox to create new inventions, read books about new technologies, or just swing the brushes. But on this day something gigantic happened. A good friend of Leo came to visit and brought his girlfriend Mona, who wanted a piece of Leo's art on her skin. This was the birth of the NFT's, as Leo developed Non Fungible Tattoos in the Block Chain Dungeon of Michel and Angelo. From that day on people from all over the world came to get NFT's from Leo or one of his students, like "Skeenee the rat", who controls the NFT machine with his laptop. A new age began.
Pending Gerbil #10/23
The #PendingGerbil drew his breath nervously. Fail Dropped Dropped and Replaced There were nothing in this world he feared more. He looked at the chords that crossed the abyss in front of him. They were loaded with pending gerbils, clinging for their life. No open space to be seen. The world machine creaked under the load. As the wheel turned and settled on a new block with a load bang, the chords vibrated, and short shrieks were heard as tired paws lost their grip and the gerbils fell into oblivion. #PendingGerbil closed his eyes, sent a short prayer to @VitalikButerin, and took the leap.
