I would like to nominate @coin_artist to council who has been a guest on many Tari Shows over the years and provided countless hours of advice to Tari Labs and Yat Labs.
Marguerite deCourcelle, known online as coin_artist, is an artist, puzzle-maker, game creator, and long-time crypto community member whose work has helped define the cultural side of decentralized technology.
From early Bitcoin art and crypto puzzles to experiments in NFTs, gaming, and community-driven storytelling, she has consistently explored how protocols can become more than infrastructure; they can become worlds people care about.
She brings a rare mix of creative vision, historical context, independence, and deep respect for open communities.
On the Tari Council, Marguerite would offer thoughtful judgment, a strong instinct for protecting community values, and a commitment to funding work that is imaginative, useful, and aligned with the spirit of the protocol.
The Tari protocol needs to become a cultural platform as much as a financial and dapp one, and coin artists can help steer us towards that vision.
