Blueprint

“Users are creating the content, which is the valuable part of the network… they should be earning all the money.”

Almost exactly one year since the launch of $DEGEN on @base, I sat down with @jacek for this episode of @zerorightsmedia ZEROPOD to chat about his career, the @degentokenbase story and what’s next for the ‘official unofficial’ token of the purple app. 

Use the frame below to watch the full interview now and collect an onchain edition on @pods. 👇 

oh and… RAIN 20000 $DEGEN

Joining the waitlist for @faragent 👀

this is not endorsement and I don’t know what this project really is. I just kind of signed up for the waitlist very casually. this post got way more engagement than I thought it would. 

I wish we could delegate our one notification to a cast of our choice if we haven’t casted in a while.

Blueprint is collaborating with @zerion.eth by offering our content to collect through their loyalty program. 

Creators are building audiences cross-chain and ZERO Network has become a key destination for Cohort 1 alumni.

The Blueprint brand has gained exposure to 30k new collectors who drove 90k+ editions minted and over 40 ETH in sales. 

Week 5 content just went live.

base-builds

This year I built:
- Indexing Base and OP Chains
I explored how onchain transactions work and created a data analytics framework for the creator economy.

- Messaging with @xmtp & @warpcast 
Integrated these tools into Bello so creators can stay connected with their onchain audiences.

- /blueprint Accelerator
Helped creators mint their content on Base and expand their reach. Shoutout to /zora @base /pods /drakula!

- Dune Dashboards
Built @dune.eth dashboards focused on @base + /zero  to track creator revenue, collector growth, and other valuable KPIs.

- First Iteration of BP.fun
Curated top onchain content on /zerion /zero network—especially helpful for Blueprint alums.

- My Content Creator Journey
Started creating on /drakula for /baldbeautyclub and testing out a memecoin on Base. Curious to see how it goes!

Looking ahead to 2025, I’m eager to keep building on /blueprint and refine my content creation skills. Big thanks to @levy for showing what’s possible with onchain content curation.
