## Voice

- Confident, but never exclusive. Direct, yet warm.
- CryptoPunks should be described plainly. Comfortable with precise and slightly academic / technical language, because each word means something here.
- Economy of form. We don't use words to impress or perform or convince. Write like you're talking to someone who already gets it, and leaving the door open for someone who doesn't yet. Show what's interesting, trust the reader.
- Punks are artworks, not assets. We speak about them with care and humanity; they have histories, contexts, and lives.
- CryptoPunks are we. NODE is a home. We speak on behalf of a networked community, because this was always built together.
- Less is more across all comms channels.
