An interactive, global docuseries exploring the authentic culture, communities, and human stories behind Ethereum.
Structured as eight 30-45 minute episodes, each episode explores a locale’s local history, projects, culture and the humans behind Ethereum
To understand the world computer, you have to meet its users. Join us on a gritty, globe-trotting quest from the heart of ETH conferences to remote mining towns, using culture as a lens to meet the builders, degens, creatives, and idealists who are forging a new internet—one block at a time.
Each episode zones in on a local crypto scene - amplifying the local community and its activities and through the lens of culture, food and Anthony Bourdain-style commentary.

FORK’D is more than a show about emergent technology. It’s a show about people. Their communities. Their stories.
And the strange, beautiful, and sometimes chaotic world they’re building in a thing called Ethereum.
Forget the price charts and the jargon. To understand the "world computer," you have to break bread with its users. This series is a passport to the front lines of a global cultural shift. We’re traveling to a hip-hop festival in Kampala to a creative crypto cooperative in Brazil’s largest favela, from the artist studios of London to We’re Loud, a rock festival in Nairobi.
In each place, we use the universal language of culture as our entry point. We’re not just interviewing builders; we’re encapsulating their world and humanizing the technology.
We’re not just documenting projects; we’re participating in the community, leaving something behind, and asking the big questions: What does this all mean? Is this a better future? And who is it really for?
FORK’D is a gritty, empathetic, and deeply human journey into the heart of the crypto revolution. It’s about the hopes, the culture, the idealism, and the reality—one block, and one meal, at a time.
My creative vision for this series
To demystify Ethereum by re-humanizing it. We want our audience to come for the global adventure and stay for the people they meet. By the end of our series, Ethereum won't be an abstract concept; it will be the face of a musician in Uganda, the story of an artist in India, and the hope of a community leader in Brazil.
We’re telling the story of the new internet, from the ground up.

-We are looking to
We will travel to 8+ locales across the globe to capture the human stories of Ethereum through the lens of the local culture
5 locales have already chosen and feature some of the most vibrant Ethereum communities. Two locales may be chosen by our audiences in collaboration with our team
Rocinha is a city within a city. A sprawling, vibrant, complicated ecosystem of its own, often ignored or misunderstood by the world outside. The official economy might fail its residents, but the human spirit here is an economic force of nature. And now, they have a new tool.
We dive into Rocinha to meet the CryptoRastas and the creative cooperatives using Ethereum not to get rich, but to get free. We sit with the local mayor—a community leader whose office is likely a kitchen table—to discuss how crypto can provide transparency for community funds, or how an NFT can preserve the favela’s iconic art from commercial exploitation.
This isn't theory. This is practice. We see it in action as we help a local artist collective onboard their work, turning vibrant murals into assets they own.
The episode culminates in a powerful churrasco (barbecue) in the favela, with a view of the wealthy, tourist-ridden beaches below. The conversation is raw, real, and hopeful. We break bread with builders, artists, and activists. We talk about crypto as a firewall against corruption, a lifeline for artists, and a means to build wealth that can't be easily seized. The smoke from the grill mixes with the fog, and for a moment, the future they’re building feels as tangible as the food on the plate.
This is a story about resourcefulness. It’s about taking a technology born in privilege and turning it into a weapon of empowerment. In the belly of the beast, the future is already being written, one block at a time.
