DAO INITIATIVES

PizzaDAO — pizza as the gateway

Founded in 2021, PizzaDAO is a decentralized co-op of artists, builders, and pizza lovers. It turns digital scarcity (NFTs, merch) into analog plenty (free pizza worldwide), funds independent pizzerias, and runs the annual Bitcoin Pizza Day celebration that Goshen proudly hosts.

FLAGSHIP

Global Pizza Party

Every May 22, local hosts in hundreds of cities organize free pizza events with crypto education and Stand With Crypto advocacy. 2025: 400+ cities, 20,000+ people fed. 2026 is in motion — Goshen is one of those local nodes.

ART → REAL PIZZA

Rare Pizzas NFT Collection

300+ independent artists generated 10,000 unique pizza NFTs. Mint proceeds directly fund pizza giveaways and events. Digital art becomes real cheese.

ON-CHAIN

PizzaDAO App (2026 pilot)

A modular on-chain suite for tokenizing consumables — minting pizza slices and drinks as Stellar/Soroban assets. Goal: unified, gamified tracking across all 2026 Global Pizza Party sites with no wallet required for attendees.

LONG TERM

Open Pizza Francheese

An open-source franchise stack — software, marketing, supplier networks, and community-owned real estate — to help independent pizzerias gain the economies of scale that big chains enjoy, with transparent on-chain financials.

COMMUNITY

Calls, hackathons, side events

Regular Discord community calls, governance proposals, POAP-stamped side events at ETHDenver, FarCon, and more. Wearable philanthropy via merch and raffles.

ADVOCACY

Public Goods & Education

Collaborations with Stand With Crypto and others. Funding via Giveth and Octant. Onboarding-via-fun: lower the barrier with pizza, raise the ceiling with decentralized infrastructure.

HOW GOSHEN FITS

Local events like ours amplify the global mission — one slice and one conversation at a time. In 2026 expect on-chain tokenization tie-ins (mint your slice vibes), Stand With Crypto signage, and Rare Pizzas representation alongside Venturi's wood-fired Neapolitan pies.
