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 (try saying that three times) in a Brazil’s largest favela, from the artist studios of London to We’re Loud, a the 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 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 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
