📜 Folklore

In America a Potluck is when everyone is a Chef and brings something to the table so everybody eats of a diverse set of cuisines in a communal setting. A pot is also and lump some of money. Lock denotes securing the pot, One of the motifs of the Potlock ecosystem building open source public goods infrastructure on NEAR is that we should encourage a culture where everyone a Chef, and each brings something to the table so everyone can eat.

On NEAR Protocol, during Co-Founders, Illia's time in China got to be known as the Black Dragon. Also 2024 (also why we are minting 2024 NFTs) is the YEAR OF THE DRAGON, the natural chef, breathing fire with every breath. Also in Chinese culture 2024 adds up to 8, which is a lucky number. Ate is also something you do at a Potluck.
