Why this experiment exists
New Orleans social aid and pleasure clubs have deep roots in collective care and benevolent societies. The prototype explores how small groups might organize mutual assistance and prepare for annual cultural events. It is inspired by that legacy, but not affiliated with or endorsed by any real club or krewe.
Possible next phase: optional testnet wallets and smart-contract records for shared group contributions, with member privacy, access controls, and governance designed before any live pilot. Transparency should apply to fund movement, not to sensitive member hardship details.
