An introduction to Urbit, Web3, and the future of creative digital communities

Urbit is a new kind of computer that you can own completely in ways that matter: networking, identity, & data.

This event is hosted at the Seattle NFT Museum in Belltown.

Urbit is a purely functional computer and social network with thousands of users that are building all kinds of communities, software, DAOs, and culture. The network is a magnet for individualists with backgrounds in technology, art, literature, crypto, academia, and more.

Come learn what makes the Urbit computer unique, why it's poised to change the landscape of Web3, and how creative communities are building new tools to leverage these opportunities.

This meetup is good for:

• Software engineers interested in functional programming, distributed systems, kernel development, crypto, web3, and technology as a Schelling point
• Creatives and artists that want a more authentic and direct relationship with their audience, control over their digital tools, and sovereignty from Big Tech companies.
• Humans that feel like computers should do more than provide a steady drip of dopamine and distraction.
