Member Manifesto
We are first and foremost an UNTETHERED SOCIETY, a tribe of RARE HUMANS.
Like the mythological Chimera whose form takes shape by combining unique and disparate parts of the natural world, we enable our differences to manifest into something new. Something unexpected.
We are not defined by our accomplishments but by the intent behind them. We believe the journey is the mission, that if followed truthfully, fulfillment and rewards will always be our companions.
We believe Web3 is immutable and enduring – today, tomorrow and forever. A place where intellectual currency and creativity coexist, uninhibited. But we see this technology as a means, not an end.
Our beginning and end is innovation, where exploration feeds our curiosity and inspires us to passionately and constantly go further. We believe in a life lived culturally, globally and thoughtfully, whenever inspiration moves us, wherever our inner truth takes us.
We are constantly staring at the sun, blinded by an endless horizon of possibilities.
Some call us “uncommon creatures”. We call ourselves, quite simply, THE KRILLEST.
Member Values
Live Nomadically
KRILLERS embrace the offbeat path, the road less traveled; new people, places and adventures. And while there are those who may call us unconventional, it’s the tools, friendships, ideas and technologies that give us connection, place and purpose.
Manifest Responsibly
Influence must be nurtured and cared for, thoughtfully. Our bliss and our peace are found within a deep conscientiousness, an empathy for others and an awareness of our impact on the world around us.
Deliver the Dream
KRILLERS are daydreamers and doers. We understand that innovation is not easy – an idea is nothing but a passing glance unless it is passionately, actively and collaboratively willed into existence.
Come As You Are
We realize that our path to health and happiness is individual, but one that must be walked together. We believe the only way to create something new is to remain open, aligning disparate interests and diverse individuals, forming unexpected connections, moving us all forward, onward. And while we share similar passions and purpose, we embrace our differences and gather without any expectation of formality.
Build Together
KRILLERS are a collective of inventors, artists, leaders, risk-takers and idealists, who share an insatiable desire to learn, discover and grow. Our tribe is a fourth world of sorts, consisting of temporary spaces designed to connect us, recharge us and energize us for what’s ahead. We understand that greatness cannot be achieved alone, but that together, we can do extraordinary things.
