What I minted this week
Every Sunday, I share what I minted throughout the week.
It can be hard to keep up with everything that's happening onchain so hopefully the list below helps you discover a fun project or initiative you may have missed.
Note: some of the minting periods may have ended. None of this information is financial advice, DYOR.
5/9 10,000 km
Check out this insanely cool mint by @fiveoutofnine.
First off, I wanted to callout how hard this challenge is and applaud the effort. To put some perspective on those numbers: he ran 11.2 miles every day for 1.5 years 🤯
Secondly, the mint itself was so fun, please check out the video here, it's got a retro vibe.
And lastly, he was able to put everything onchain.
100% onchain audio of a 5-part arrangement
100% onchain color theming
100% onchain data + metadata
Mutatio by XOPY
XCOPY dropped a new mint Mutatio earlier this week, check it out and mint here.
One stat that's worth pointing out that blew my mind - the piece has been minted over 1 million times. So even at the price of 0.00069, he still made 690 eth!
Supercast screenshot #1
Woj started a new collection on Zora where he's planning to share product updates and let fans mint and join the journey. I think more founders/creators in crypto should be doing this - let your Zora page speak for yourself.
I mentioned it in Friday's letter, but that's exactly what I'm doing with Terminally Onchain as well. It's not even about needing to commit to anything for your minters, more so a great way to track who has been part of your journey, what folks are enjoying, etc.
GM Farcaster #78
This week, Warpcast shipped power badges so I made a meme about it and it was highlighted on GM Farcaster. Here's a screenshot from the video - you can mint the episode here.
Proxy Studios Hype Experiment
It's worth reading through this document on Zora by @proxystudio. He dives into the hype patterns of meme coins and how it can be so simple to trick people into thinking they're missing out on the next big thing and FOMO buy.
tl;dr is that he started making subtle casts making it seem like he was about to launch a coin and people started sending funds to his wallet without any context.
Just build it
Those of you following Onchain Letters for a while know that I'm a huge fan of Base marketing in general. I think they do a great job of not making it cringe and I love the fun twists on big brand marketing such as AOL, Nike, etc.
One thing worth calling out about this mint was that they gave 50% of the creator rewards to Based Management. Coinbase drives a ton of traffic so these rewards can add up quickly. It's cool to see them support projects building in the Base ecosystem.
Farcaster Iguana
The latest Farcaster protocol release NFT.
Higher?? by LGHT
A short post by @lght on how the higher experiment got started!
Terminally Onchain Highlights
Lastly, here were the two NFTs I airdropped to all the terminally onchain subscribers.
If you found the list above helpful, please share it with friends in crypto who you think should mint as well 🤝
That's all for today, I hope all of you have a great next week!
