Description
The Raverse is a safe haven to party for eternity. It is our music stage and home that was built in a 3x3 estate in the Music Festival District. At a Rave, there is no judgment. What you do or how you dress is your business. It is a place where you can find acceptance, surrounding yourself with positive energy and good vibes.
With this energy we want to keep building The Raverse and keep producing new music events and experiences. One of our main goals is to onboard more DJs and musicians into the Web3 space, and that’s why we will open the invitation to artists to perform at The Raverse and provide them the technical support they need. Most importantly we want to increase the number of hosted events.
2023 Expansion Plans:
- Improve The Raverse stage look & feel.
- Wearables Pop Up Store to claim free wearables

The Raverse
Road to sustaintability:
We are asking for a grant to be able to focus 6 months in enhacing The Raverse experience and being able to host more events throughout the year. Our main goal with this is to grow the community, and work on sponsorship deals for the second half of 2023.
Our idea is to ask for a one-time grant that will help us grow and aim at keep building throughout all 2023.
