How can we help writers earn meaningful, reliable income?

Open edition NFTs haven’t quite gotten us there, so we have to find a better solution.

We wrote a couple posts on why we think coins may be a better model (part 1 below) — we'd love to hear what you think.

I think token-gated newsletters or like Wattpad where readers can pay tokens before accessing the rest of a writer's work

We may bring some flavor of it back at some point.

We definitely wanted token-gating to work, but writers very rarely used it, and very few readers purchased tokens.

I've wondered if token-gated writing and NFT memberships didn’t gain much traction bc they don't provide much extra benefit over paid subscriptions.

Thanks for the note!

I think about Wattpad a lot & surprised we haven't seen a blockchain version of something like it take off. Feels like there's opportunity to better reward & incentivize participation in fan fiction b/w writer and fans / contributors. 

We used to have token-gating & it wasn't used too much (more below), but think coins could provide an avenue to bring back utility-based value (e.g., buy certain # of coins to read a post, leave a comment, participate in an event, etc.).

Helping creators get paid onchain. Writer & artist.

Yes! This is it! 😅
I'm happy you get me
