I will be adding a new category of posts, as I intend to start doing long format posts about music often. I may venture into other topics, as I intend to continue experimentation. Zerion's ZERO Chain. This month we launched the meme token, $BALLS on the Zero blockchain. This token is something that Jean and I have been discussing/planning for many months now. We’ve received quite a surprising amount of interest. We haven’t exactly dug ourselves out of poverty, but it is still incredibly e...

The Short StoryLeave a Comment / Essays / By Jack I minted my first NFT in 2021. On the WAX chain. A simple pic that I was using for profiles at the time. I spent the next 2 years doing mostly test mints. Learning how things worked on different chains and in different markets. Minted stuff that no one else ever saw. Or I sent directly to friends. I took this across many blockchains, learning the nuances of their NFT processes. I used the following blockchains: WAX, Polygon, BSC, Pixie, Base, ...

The most pressing feature of dapps that no group is doing is NFT curation. Like a lot of people, I have tons of NFTs. Music, video, lens posts, art, literature, etc. and it’s nearly impossible to find any single NFT without trouble. We need searchable galleries. We need to be able to organize them in a variety of ways. Some apps allow the user the ability to ‘spotlight’ or grouping into niches, but they don’t go very deep. This is also a really important step to widespread adoption of crypto
