IRL Underground was a private members club, crypto speakeasy, and community event space that I co-founded right after Everland. Located in the Rhino Arts District in downtown Denver, it was a really fun space that combined cutting-edge Web3 technology with community building. I built all the tools and tech, using a version of DAO Portal to create the private member club system with NFT logins, while Magic Ticket powered the ticketing. We hosted up-and-coming crypto projects, produced events for smaller upcoming artists, ran monthly crypto meetups, and threw countless events including the SporkDAO launch and MCON closing party.
