When News Mints: Blockchain-first distribution remains a compelling underutilized use case

TERRA INCOGNITA – An unabated 24/7 news cycle is now a given. Fresh stories, data, and developments arrive by the minute.

Currently, the release of new information largely begins with traditional and centralized media sources. Despite existing blockchain technology to revolutionize how information is first shared, that power remains underutilized.

Minting news as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the blockchain introduces a new dimension to messaging. When combined with traditional communication methods, NFTs can enhance the perception and overall value of this emerging technology.

A blockchain-first distribution model offers numerous benefits, including greater transparency, enhanced trust, new revenue streams, improved efficiency, and increased audience engagement.

To unlock these advantages, mint news onchain first.

Introduction

This marks the first Mirror entry for SeeingBlue. Having collected the writing of others, the time has arrived for contribution. While the intention of this first piece is to clear the hurdle of clicking the “Publish” button, some relevant notes can be shared in the process.

Philosophy

“Seeing Blue” is a philosophy of curiosity, exploration, and discovery which values the pursuit of new knowledge and understanding. It encourages us to ask questions, try new things, and embrace new experiences. This approach can help us learn and grow, and make a difference in the world.

Focus

Blockchain technologies hold the potential to improve the lives of everyone on our planet, including our home, the blue dot we call Earth. However, embracing new ideas often brings a mix of excitement and fear. That's why SeeingBlue chose to focus on a single theme: Minting.

Pursuit

For over a year, SeeingBlue has clicked the "Mint" button, often with abandon. Gradually, the "Create" button became more comfortable. When Zora, a platform for creators, introduced their Canvas feature, a digital canvas for anyone to draw, type, and layer images, the decision of what to create was immediate.

Closing

With “Mint” and “Create” now second nature, it’s time to add a third: “Publish.”

Until our digital paths cross again.

Peacefully,
