A mission driven tech company building ethical trade infrastructure in web3. MADE exists to protect Black Culture from commercial exploitation, appropriation and theft. Through a blockchain verification system, MADE mints the intellectual property (IP) of Black Culture to facilitate ethical trade. MADE tokens signal trust and financial inclusion for brands commercializing culture.
MADE WITH BLACK CULTURE establishes an ethical trade standard for commercializing culture. The creativity of Black Culture has a historical legacy of being extracted and commodified in-service of economic activity without circulating the economic rewards back to the Stewards, Creatives and Humans that make up Black Culture.
The colonizing values of commodifying people for profit undermines well-being, derails environmental safety and accelerates income disparity for Black Culture at large. When this goes unaddressed, Black Culture remains vulnerable to systemic racism that monopolizes rights to the economic rewards generated by Black Culture’s distinct value creation.
We are under Ancestral obligation to protect the assets and IP of Black Culture. Our vision is to empower the world to consume Black Culture ethically. Beginning with forging equitable relationships with companies, product makers and retailers that sell Black Culture.
The spirit of MADE is rooted in restoring economic equity and healing racial trauma.
