Synopsis
Renew Lexicon Devils recurring payout to continue to run Forming, create Juicebox promotional content including JB inspired art, NFTs, vox models, music, as well as manage and maintain the Voxels JBX HQ parcel.
Motivation
FORMING is a virtual concert series ran by Lexicon Devils hosting web3 centric musicians and showcasing how Juicebox protocol can be utilized to host events by transparently paying out artists as well as contributors. Twitter interaction and event attendance has doubled over the past couple months and we plan to continue this momentum by fine tuning the hype machine that is Forming. The following steps are listed under specification that have been taken that have helped this increase in visibility.
FORMING GC40
- Doubled engagement through socials with events centering native crypto communities such as Allstarz, Songcamp, LEP, & Voxels (*example deck* of what partnerships may look like)
Juicebox Learning Center Stats
- Funds raised through NFT sales using Juicebox as the mechanism by which it’s all possible
- Launched FORMING mixtapes, editing shows into a listenable only mix and streamable from Soundcloud
- Stood up cross-channel promotion from Youtube, Soundcloud and Twitter, to generate more attention to Forming + Juicebox
FORMING GC41
- Three, 4 Week Twitter Campaigns centered around the monthly concert series FORMING in direction collaboration with partnered communities & projects
- Utilizing JBV3 NFT Rewards, Event/Artist specific NFTs for each collaboration with collectible appeal are revealed pre-show to incentivize performers to promote & profit from the upside of distributing the event widely
- Community Specific Voxel Installations & complimenting Wearables
- RSVP / Join mailing list on website to be white listed for wearable airdrop

Rationale
Having a dedicated fund going towards the arts and sponsoring cultural events strengthens the ties between artists & engineers, deepening the creative talent pool of not only the Juicebox ecosystem but Ethereum at large. Juicebox is a prime example of a DAO who sets the cultural tone, and is in touch with the current zeitgeist of crypto & DAOs. It’s a natural next step for the Lexicon Devils & Juicebox partnership to continue leading the scene in making creative spaces online for artists & engineers, a cultural schilling point for a new era of the internet.
Risks
Lexicon Devils and FORMING audience fail to understand or adopt JBX. Bear market fud too dominant and crypto skepticism too great; creating an uphill battle that makes expanding our outreach almost impossible. This would result in failure to provide impactful marketing creating greater Juicebox awareness, stagnant turn outs, and minimal directly measurable benefit to Juicebox protocol.
Timeline
This proposal should take effect immediately and last six funding cycles, starting in GC41 and ending at GC47.
