Dear Fellow Creative,

I am excited to announce some positive changes to enhance your membership experience and protect our shared creative journey. Here's what you need to know:

I have moved all my premium content to a dedicated, blockchain-secured section on my temporary website (the beautiful new one is in the making). I used to publish directly on Paragraph.xyz, but they removed the token-gating feature, which was imperative to me. This shift to my own website allows me to offer you a more secure, independent, and innovative experience. I am counting on your support💖! So let me guide you through the details of how these changes work and what other reasons I had to implement them:

Accessing Your Content (no membership yet)

1. Visit https://www.bonfire.xyz/stellaachenbach

2. A notice asking you to connect your crypto wallet containing your membership NFT should pop up. Since you don't have one yet, follow the steps here.

3. Note that the moonstone membership is FREE! The pink-sapphire one comes at a low subscription fee of $5/ month. You can read about all the goodies you will be getting also here or further below.

Accessing Your Content (with active membership)

1. Visit https://www.bonfire.xyz/stellaachenbach.

2. Navigate to either the moonstone or pink sapphire sub-page.

3. A notice asking you to connect your crypto wallet containing your membership NFT should pop up.

4. Bookmark the website and enjoy the content whenever you want. Significant changes I will introduce through the same means as in this newsletter today.

Why These Changes Matter

This move empowers me as a creator and hopefully you in the future as well to:

• Protect my content from unauthorized use, including AI scraping

• Showcase the potential of decentralized creator-audience relationships

• Provide you with cutting-edge, blockchain-based experiences

The Value You'll Get

As an established creator with accolades including the Swarovski Elements Award and recognition from the European Comission for my creative work, I'm sharing my unique and cutting-edge insights with you:

• Founder of The ALANA Project

• Lead Steward of Unlock Protocol DAO

• Expert knowledge of creative, cutting-edge digital tools, blockchain tooling and decentralized governance

Next Steps

• I'll no longer send individual or full content via the traditional Paragraph.xyz newsletter function. This email is an exception to inform you.

• Instead, I will send out monthly summaries. If you want to potentially reach valuable content earlier, you can do it by checking my website or social channels!

• Your NFT membership tier determines your access level. Free-only content will be the moonstone tier. If you are looking for more, consider getting the pink sapphire tier, as it will come with access to my private Telegram group, more resources, and tutorials!

I am excited about this new chapter in our creative journey together. By embracing these tools, we're not just consuming content – we're pioneering a more independent future for creators and their communities. If you have any questions about connecting your wallet or accessing your content, please don't hesitate to reach out to me on socials or email me via contact[at]stellaachenbach.com.

Thank you for your continued support and for being part of this innovative community!

P.S. Remember, the moonstone tier is entirely free! It's my way of sharing valuable knowledge and empowering fellow creators to explore decentralized platforms.
