What's in web3 for creators?? - #2: Surreal
A few days ago, Surreal launched their new Create feature, allowing anyone to upload media on Zora through a simplified user experience. This was the first time I came across the app, even though the Surreal Beta had been open for more than a year. Within minutes, I had created my first piece, which was minted 12 times and generated some 11$ through Zora rewards. So far, I’ve made ~$40 across three photos and one video I uploaded. Surreal differentiates itself from other NFT discovery apps wi...

The Blueprint cohort n°1 by Bello kicked off last week, with only 10 creators selected from over 200 applications. The process has been highly selective, and given how well the creators in the cohort have been performing so far, I already expect cohorts n°2 and n°3 to be in high demand as well. Just a few days ago, 4 creators in the cohort made their first drop out of the two planned over the course of the program. For some, it was their first on-chain creation or their first time posting on ...

My Farcon Takeaways
Farcon 2 happened last week in LA. Because of Farcaster’s recent growth, the conference ended up being much bigger than planned a few months earlier. Vibes were really high. You could definitely feel the euphoria of an early community that is growing and winning together. Although as some highlighted, its also competing against each other. I think both are true depending on who you are. Here are a few takeaways from last week that I think are relevant to share.1. Farcaster adopts a “growing w...
