Helping Austin lead in Web3
ATX DAO works to build a cohesive network of crypto professionals and enthusiasts who want Austin to become a leading city in the Web3 economy. The DAO supports local artists and businesses, creates opportunities for collaboration, and helps civic leaders understand blockchain and Web3.
It began in October 2021 when a group of crypto professionals and enthusiasts in Austin came together around a shared goal: helping Austin become a leading city for crypto and Web3.
