Broadside is the cultural connective tissue the metaverse needs: a conduit between music, storytelling, gaming, culture and web3. A world driven by social and game mechanics where fans own the building blocks, and get to take them in any direction they wish.

A metaverse community and brand that exists everywhere.

Ways to engage with our community:

Grab a Broadsider from the collection on Open Sea.
Join our Discord community.
Follow the project on Twitter. 

Nobody cares about the metaverse because nobody understands what it’s for. 

With hundreds of billions invested, leading platforms are struggling to attract large numbers of users.

It occurred to us that if you want people to turn up somewhere, throwing a party is never a bad idea.

THE STORYWORLD:

Broadside is set in a solar punk storyworld where AR gaming rules the planet, anti-surveillance clothing is always on-trend, and 3D bass music is used as a weapon to fight oppressive
robot armies.

The immersive story and world of Broadside, encompassing gaming, fashion, music and culture, has been developed over a more than a decade.

The story framework gives fans the building blocks and parameters they need to build in meaningful ways with us. The depth of the story is a schematic that fans can build on in whichever direction they like, primed for the explosion of AI powered creativity we are on the cusp of.
