Friends With Benefits Pro (FWB) is continually working on different Web 3.0-related projects that are all related to advancing the decentralization of various web services.

For instance, Works in Progress is the DAO’s own editorial outlet that regularly publishes pieces about decentralization, fractionalization of ownership, and other Web 3.0-related topics. Gatekeeper is the organization’s own Web 3.0 ticketing software for real-life events. Gallery is FWB’s auction platform and non-fungible token (NFT) gallery. Friends with Benefits also hosts hackathons, real and online chats with Web 3.0 influencers, and token-gated parties in different cities worldwide.

FWB Pro has a Discord server that becomes fully accessible for members that hold a minimum of 60 FWB. It emphasizes that all members should share the common values of the DAO, which are elaborated as follows:

• Shared identities. FWB thrives on trust and encourages members to share their backgrounds and social media handles.
• Diversity. FWB respects members of all backgrounds and with various degrees of crypto experience.
• Inclusion. new members should be treated the same way as more well-known ones.
• Responsibility. FWB is self-policed.
• Peace of mind. FWB does not publish stories and anecdotes shared by members.

Friends with Benefits also provides community tooling, a member directory, and access to members in one of the official partner cities (London, New York City, Los Angeles) for its community members.

The total supply of Friends With Benefits Pro (FWB) is 1 million. After the previous version, FWB Classic was hacked, token holders were reimbursed 1:1 for their previous holdings. Wallets that had held FWB Classic prior to the hack and purchased additional FWB Classic thereafter, received airdropped FWB Pro on a 0.25:1 basis. The token distribution is as follows:

• Circulating (40%): held by existing members
• Community treasury (35.6%): retained by the DAO to be used at the community’s discretion and distributed through governance proposals. No vesting in the treasury.
• Team (19.9%): vested over one year, with a six-month cliff. Includes a 7.33% options pool for future contributors.
• Liquidity lords (4.4%): allocated to victims of the hack.

Friends With Benefits Pro (FWB) is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum (ETH), which is one of the most popular blockchains out there and is the go-to solution for many decentralized application (DApp) developers.
