We're excited to launch a handful of new features:

*   Create a web3-native newsletter referral program, to incentivize & reward your readers for helping you grow
    
*   Expanded support for token-gating: you can now use ERC20s or ERC721s from all the top chains
    
*   Editor improvements: image captions, embeddable subscribe buttons & a redesigned dashboard
    

Web3-native newsletter referrals
--------------------------------

Referral programs have been hugely successful in helping newsletters grow. Starting today, we've integrated with [Sharemint](https://sharemint.xyz) so you can incentivize & reward your Paragraph readers based on the number of subscribers they refer to your newsletter.

Morning Brew helped pioneer newsletter referrals, which played a key role in helping them grow to >1.5 million subscribers. They granted rewards ranging from additional access to physical goods to experiences based on the number of referrals:

Web3 makes rewarding & incentivizing readers even easier. For example, you can grant access to a gated newsletter or a gated Discord by simply airdropping NFTs after a user reaches a number of referrals.

Support for more chains
-----------------------

We've added support for even more chains for token-gating your newsletter. We've historically supported Ethereum and Polygon, but you can now use any ERC20 or ERC721 from the following chains:

*   Arbitrum
    
*   BNB Chain
    
*   Gnosis
    
*   Avalanche

Editor improvements
-------------------

You can now embed subscribe buttons into your newsletter, helping convert more readers into subscribers:

We also added support for captions, letting you add additional context to images:

Lastly, we've launched a small redesign of the Paragraph dashboard, putting the most-used navigation front & center:
