What sets AfterWork Astronauts apart from other NFT projects is that most members are #web3 curious - rather than web3 natives. We’re proud to be many nauts’ first NFT - and the place which launched their exploration of the web3 galaxy

1) Start with why.

Audience ≠ community. Don't start a group chat for your followers or customers and expect a healthy community to form!

@liubinskas @functionly Love it! We should team up!
