.mollyhfischer explores the N.F.T. enterprise World of Women, created by YKarkai to make a space for women in web3. “This was a collection that I wanted any woman and diverse person to feel represented by,” Karkai said.
On September 24, 2021, Yam Karkai opened Twitter to see a direct message from Reese Witherspoon. Karkai is a digital illustrator in her late twenties with a warm smile and pale-blue eyes. During the pandemic, she and her partner, Raphaël Malavieille, had decided to pack up their home in Paris and live as nomads; they were staying with Malavieille’s mother in the South of France when Karkai received Witherspoon’s message.
During this time, the most popular N.F.T. category was the profile pic, or P.F.P.: a digital portrait used as a social-media avatar. These were usually generated in batches of thousands by automatically reshuffling a limited number of features; certain features were “rarer” than others, and therefore theoretically more valuable. Monkeys with goofy accessories from a collection called Bored Ape Yacht Club brought in around seven million dollars during their first week of sales.
World of Women launched on July 27, 2021, the same day that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis released their N.F.T. collection, Stoner Cats. The “minting” process—publishing a record of each newly available image to the blockchain—went smoothly, and for the first two hours sales were brisk. Buyers paid a fixed price of 0.
Guy Oseary, who manages Madonna and had recently begun working with the creators of Bored Ape Yacht Club, took on World of Women as a client. In January, around the time the lowest-priced WoWs were selling for 9 Ethereum , Witherspoon showed off a second WoW, this one with red lips and purple skin. Hello Sunshine soon announced a deal to, Witherspoon told“partner with WoW to expand their universe of characters and to develop innovative scripted and unscripted content.
The team gathered in the basement conference room of a Lisbon co-working space, lush with fake plants, to discuss the future of the company. World of Women’s new chief operating officer, Shannon Snow, had flown in from Miami. Karkai, who had once made mood boards of her visual influences , now needed to do some world-building.
Online, Karkai speaks the lingua franca of gracious executive enthusiasm. “I want to thank everyone that has been part of our journey in any way,” she tweeted in a thread celebrating World of Women’s first anniversary. In person, Karkai’s reliance on the language of “empowerment” and “creativity” comes across as either carefully inoffensive or guileless.“She doesn’t quite know how to bullshit people,” Malavieille told me.
According to ownership records, there are some fifty-six hundred unique WoW holders and some eleven thousand seven hundred WoWG holders, with significant overlap. The World of Women Discord, meanwhile, has about sixty thousand members. The company’s internal figures suggest that most members of the community are based in the U.S., the U.K., or Canada, and are in their thirties; slightly more than half of them are female.
