🎆 Mint spotlight: Metaversal on Mirror
I’m bringing Metaversal onchain! Going forward, I’ll be crossposting issues of this newsletter to web3 publishing platform Mirror. The idea? Anyone who wants to can collect this content as NFTs. I think the future of media is onchain, and I want to start living that with my writings.
Note that all the crossposts will be free mints on the Base L2, so it’ll be low stakes and just for fun. Want to get your Base XP up then? An onchain “clipping” of a guide you enjoyed? An NFT passport stamp of sorts to curate on Gallery showing you were here during the bear? Consider minting!
🙇 New insightful reads to level up your web3 knowledge!

✨ My NFT tool of the week: Warpcast
Crypto social protocol Farcaster is decentralized, so anyone can build a client interface on it. The project has been invite-only so far, but it’s starting permissionless sign-ups next week. If you’re looking to dive in and want a user-friendlyFarcaster client to try amid this opening wave, be sure to check out Warpcast. It’s like if Twitter was built from the ground up with web3 users in mind, surfaces NFT mints directly in-app, and is designed to help you take control of your onchain social graph!
