AkiyaDAO is "a Japanese ecovillage project funded by an international community of climate-conscious builders, artists and solarpunks." That raises a lot of questions: Isn't crypto bad for the environment? And what does an ecovillage even have to do with NFTs?

We sat down with Michelle Huang, founder of AkiyaDAO, to hear about the DAO's plan to create an IRL community (or a crypto commune?) using the power of NFTs. Tune in to hear more about how Japan's housing surplus crisis makes this possible, what Michelle sees as the biggest issue facing DAOs today, and the things she'll bring with her to the AkiyaDAO house one day.
