The best conversations happen when someone puts a thoughtful idea into the world, and others engage with it: adding context, offering critique, expanding the scope, or taking it in a completely new direction.
Too much of the internet today rewards the opposite: short-form dunks, quick takedowns, and fleeting hot takes. We believe there’s a better way for ideas to spread — one that rewards thoughtful responses, makes the best discussions easier to find, and sparks even more conversation.
That’s the spirit behind Remixing, our newest feature on Paragraph.
We're rewarding the top 3 remixes of this post with up to $500 - read to the end for details!
Now, when you come across a post that resonates with you, inspires you, or where you have something of value to contribute, you can remix it and respond with your own post, building on the idea, pushing the conversation further, or taking it in a totally new direction.
When a post is remixed, the original author benefits from their writing being shared with more readers and to see their ideas spark new waves of creativity. The writers that remix the post benefit by tapping into a pre-existing audience and discussion, instantly having their work exposed to more readers.
Also, for those that have a hard time getting into a habit of writing, or feel stuck staring at a blinking cursor, responding to a post by remixing it is a great way to get into a consistent rhythm of writing.
Remixing creates space for ideas to strengthen and spread, while rewarding the people that bring value to the discussion.
Remixing is the first extension to our recently released Coins feature, our effort to help writers feel appreciated and rewarded for their hard work.
Here's how to remix a post:
On any post with a coin, click the "Remix" button at the top.
In the modal, after you choose "Start remixing", you'll be taken to the Editor to write your remix.
Once you're done, publish and share your remix.
After you've published your remix, your new post gets its own coin, and that coin is automatically linked to the original post's coin. As either post gains traction, both coins benefit.
If a popular writer gets people excited about an idea, and you remix it with a great follow-up, your coin is lifted by that momentum.
If your remix resonates and takes off, the original coin benefits too.
Rather than a system that encourages dunking and take-downs in as little words as possible, we hope this creates a rising-tide-lifts-all-boats dynamic around thoughtful discourse, and powerful incentives for everyone to support each other's work.
We’ve seen firsthand that coins are a powerful way to support writers and signal what’s worth reading. With Remixing, that power becomes collaborative. Writers can now invite others into their creative process and share in the value they create together.
Remixing is available today for everyone on Paragraph. Just click the Remix button at the top of any post and start writing.
Remixing is one of the first meaningful extensions of coins and we're planning to ship publication-level coins in the next month. But this is just the start — we'll keep exploring new ways to help writers earn from their work and give readers better ways to show appreciation and support.
Remix this post and share your ideas! We’ll reward the top 3 remixes (based on market cap) at noon EST on Friday, August 29th: $500 USDC for 1st, $200 for 2nd, and $100 for 3rd.
We’re excited to see how you use Remixing to build on ideas, grow your audience, and collaborate in new ways. Share any feedback or remixes you publish with us on Twitter, Farcaster, or by sending us a note at hello@paragraph.com.

I think it’s a brilliant idea. It could also incentivise historical, archival, or overlooked writings to gain new life and activity. This could mean that rather than just focusing on whats new, or what shows up in feeds — value is created by users who take the time to surf and to dig into the hidden depths of the platform, and then surface and remix what they find. The main barrier seems to be hype and adoption. For this to be sustainable, enough people need to adopt the model and use it long term, beyond any hype phase.
Wouldn’t it be better to reward writers based on merit rather than support? Some truly talented writers may end up buried with little recognition. After all, the whole purpose of this feature is to help writers earn more through remixes. Choosing winners based on supporters instead of clear, simple, and polished human writing seems counterintuitive though I do understand why you’d factor in market cap and support.
We're totally open to it for future contests! Out of curiosity, how would you go about measuring "merit", or deciding winners based on "merit"?
I've made my own version of this new mechanic that is great: https://paragraph.com/@lenonmc21/the-era-of-chain-writers-is-coming-the-new-remix-feature-has-arrival
I see synergy! I see collaboration! I see talents being given platform to showcase their expertise!

Rewarding "remixing" is a way of combating dead Internet theory and promoting growth through thoughtful conversations and longer attention spans. Fully support this approach!
I agree with this. It opens up lots of possibilities.
Cool feature. I tried remixing it from my own angle using the 5 Stages of Grief, testing it out here: https://paragraph.com/@landdiore/5-stages-of-grief-remix-on-paragraph
