🗳️ Krause House Proposals - It’s Time to Vote!
The following proposals are up for Snapshot voting.
🗳️ Purchase a share of Elan Bearnais (non-binding vibe check)
Goal: Buy a share in Elan Bearnais - Pau professional basketball team (5% to 8%)
🗳️ Gitcoin DEI Grant Program Sponsorship and Participation Proposal
Intention: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is important to Krause House, the NBA (example), sponsors (e.g. Nike), and the future of sport.
The upcoming Gitcoin DEI grant round (see last round as example) presents a great opportunity for Krause House to both demonstrate our commitment and take action. Due to the short timeline for the launch of the grant program, this proposal combines both the sponsorship donation (signalling Krause House commitment to DEI) and the development of grant submission ideas (representing Krause House leadership and action) into a single project.
Vote with your KRAUSE & share your thoughts in the Krause House Discord #member-chat. Make sure to keep your notifications on in the #announcements channel of the Krause House Discord to never miss an update.
Voting closes 3 days after the proposal has been posted.

Krause House Experiences Team Interview ft. Dbag & Jonah
In just 60 days a group of Jerrys that have never met before were able to curate the physical manifestation of how web3 technology and the real world can intersect in an amazing sporting event.
From idea to execution, this was a flawless week of basketball and demonstrated how a group of people who are empowered to act autonomously within a decentralized organization can make cool sh*t happen.
Shoutout to the Krause House Experiences team for putting this all together and making it possible for Jerrys to meet IRL. 🤝
In this weeks pod, we hosted Dbag and Jonah to learn more about the Mamba Mentality that went into building the Krause House Jam 2022 in NYC.

For those of you that missed the event highlights… 👇
Day 1 - Krause House JAM ⛹️
🎥 Click here for the JAM Recap Video 🎥
8 of the best 3v3 teams in the country took part in our tournament on the World´s First Physical NFT Basketball Court 🔥
The event was hosted at the Manhattan Classic Car Club, on the banks of the Hudson River. The crowd was electric. DJs were playing banger after banger with an open bar for KH Members and friends in attendance (shoutout to Ebbs Brewing).
On top of that, we had some special guests. The D.O.C. joined us to introduce NFT´s With Attitude, a collection of rare footage from the N.W.A. era and Terance Mann of the LA Clippers dropped by to be a judge for the dunk contest!
The dunk contest featured Christopher Spell, Jordan Southerland, Maxwell Pearce and Zayy Soblessed. The crowd came on court, surrounded the dunkers and waved paddles with “Hot” and “Not” after each dunk. In the end, there could be only one and Jordan Southerland took home the inaugural JAM trophy.
Check out this masterpiece of a dunk.
The 3v3 tournament featured Ball Is Life, In The Lab, Princeton 3x3, Chibi Dinos, India Rising, Ultimate Hoops and Mac n Waldo.
The crowd was treated to elite basketball competition and Princeton 3x3 ended up winning the tournament in a heated overtime finale against In The Lab.
Congrats to Princeton 3x3 who took home the first Krause House JAM trophy and $5,000 winnings!
Day 2 - Esports tournament 🕹️
On day 2, Krause House held an NBA 2K tournament that hosted 32 players to compete for $1,000 in cash, a Krause Court NFT and a 1% benefit of all NFT sales.
This years most frequently used teams included the Bucks, Nets and Warriors. Shoutout to all the OP players and teams.
Day 3 - Krause House Community Pick-Up Run 🏀
The guys at Swish House led a private basketball workout and pick-up games for the Krause House community members at The Post BK.
Thank you to the trainers for kicking our asses! 😂
Thank you all!
Once again, we would like to make it clear that without the help of our sponsors and partners, none of this would be possible.
+ the whole KH Experiences Team
At Krause House, we’re constantly demonstrating the power of Web3. Web3 brought us together through a belief that fan ownership and governance is inevitable. And in the case of sporting events and experiences, Web3 provided the infrastructure to create one of the HOTTEST 3v3 tournaments + dunk contests in NYC. Thanks to events like the Krause House JAM, more people will be able to touch, feel and see what Web3 can do.
With our next play mentality, we’re beginning to plan our 2023 events and how we can positively impact basketball communities globally.
