This partnership represents a ground-breaking opportunity for the BizarreBeasts community to help shape the future of decentralized creative funding and onchain media, all while having FUN and GOING BIZARRE.
To understand DCP, you have to understand its roots. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit co-founded by Roman Coppola, Leo Matchett, and Michael Musante.
The foundation is built on the DNA of American Zoetrope, the legendary independent film studio founded by Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas in 1969. For over five decades, the Coppola family has been at the forefront of championing independent voices and disrupting the traditional Hollywood gatekeeper system.
DCP is the modern, blockchain-powered evolution of that mission, moving the power of the “Greenlight” to fund and launch new projects from a few executives in a boardroom to a global community of creators and fans. How BIZARRE is that?!
While DCP’s heritage is rooted in cinema, the foundation is rapidly expanding its mission by creating more funding opportunities for onchain creators. They are no longer just looking for the next great film; they are working to increase awareness and award opportunities for all kinds of onchain creators.
I first discovered DCP and its BIZARRE mission through the Base Creators Award, which is open to ALL creators!
In December 2025, BizarreBeasts won the $100,000 A3 Startup Award from DCP.
Crucially, BizarreBeasts was recognized as a Creative Onchain Project, not a film project. Our win is part of a major expansion of the DCP ecosystem: DCP is seeking innovative projects and creators building onchain, both inside and outside the film industry, as DCP continues to pioneer what is possible in Web3 entertainment.
The BizarreBeasts project will be a cornerstone of the DCP+ streaming and content platform when it launches in 2026, proving that onchain creative work is part of the next frontier of professional media.
DCP flips the traditional “Studio” model on its head:
TALNT is the utility token that powers the DCP ecosystem’s meritocratic curation. It runs on the Base blockchain (Coinbase’s Layer 2), ensuring transactions are fast and low-cost.
Maximize your participation by staking your $TALNT. This allows you to earn additional $TALNT rewards while directly supporting the long-term health and stability of the DCP ecosystem.
DCP is looking for the best onchain creators. If you know a project building something unique on the blockchain, encourage them to look into DCP’s funding awards.
Holding $TALNT doesn’t just give you a say in the DCP foundation; it gives you a BIZARRE advantage within the BizarreBeasts ($BB) ecosystem.
2x Booster
Any BEAST on the empire leaderboard holding 400 $TALNT or more receives a 2x booster in the $BB Empire. This is a significant advantage for those looking to climb the leaderboard and secure larger portions of future distributions, powered by $GLANKER.
The $TALNT token is now officially a part of the BizarreBeasts ($BB) Empire Treasury to reward the community that empowers this BIZARRE project.

I’m the artist and builder behind BizarreBeasts ($BB), creating a universe where art and web3 technology converge. This is where everything I am intersects: an artist captivated by darkly humorous outsider art, a builder who creates games and miniapps, a musician performing original soundtracks, and a true BIZARRE believer in decentralized creativity.
This project was born from a vision of what’s possible when an artist fully owns their creative universe: exploring the opportunities and economies that web3 enables to build a legacy of creativity and freedom for myself and the BizarreBeasts community. Learn more about me.
BizarreBeasts is an original, art-powered ecosystem featuring hand-illustrated characters, animations, NFTs, and web3 games. With 9 games played over 152,000 times, hitting #1 trending on both Remix and The Base App, I’ve built a notorious community of 6,800+ token holders going BIZARRE.
The $BB token fuels this creative universe: rewarding the community, unlocking exclusive perks, and providing access to the /bizarrebeasts Farcaster channel. As a holder, climb the Empire leaderboard, earn treasury rewards, and unlock premium features in our meme creator and contests.
From original music and comics to interactive games and physical paintings, dive into the BIZARRE.
Explore, add the Miniapp to your Farcaster account, and share the BIZARRE!
