David Tso (dave.base.eth)

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

If you haven’t tried building a mini app yet, now is a good time

Mini apps on @farcaster_xyz will soon be distributed off the shelf to @CoinbaseWallet

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

The easiest and fastest way to get your product in the hands of active users?

A mini app

Mini apps remove the need for an app store launch and can help distribute your product immediately

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

In consumer, distribution is everything

Mini apps help supercharge your distribution by leveraging notifications, the @farcaster_xyz social graph, and @CoinbaseWallet users

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Builders and creators are about to realize how powerful @CoinbaseWallet distribution is

Millions of users will soon access mini apps on @farcaster_xyz, content from @zora, @rodeodotclub, @paragraph_xyz, @podsdotmedia, @cooprecsmusic, and whatever you are cooking on @base

Zora

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

If you’re on instagram, pivot to @zora

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Coining on @zora is just like making an instagram post

But instead you get paid every time someone likes your post

Onchain social is good

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

How much have you earned from posting on instagram for the past 15 years?

Or posting on tiktok for the past 8 years?

I guarantee you will earn more posting on @zora your first day :)

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Content coins are just instagram posts and tiktoks that show their value in real time

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

At a high level, if you’re working on an onchain social product you can either:

1. Build for CT degens
2. Build for the world outside of CT degens

If you want to reach + onboard more normies, creators, and artists, it’s not a bad idea to build for the world outside of CT degens

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Weekend challenge: onboard a normie friend to the @zora app

Then compare it with other ways you would have onboarded a normie friend to crypto

Please share your findings, positive and negative

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Remember how pivotal the 2021 NFT cycle was for bringing in mainstream culture and adoption?

I believe that content coins will be a similar catalyst

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

NFTs brought in a new wave of users, creators, artists, brands, and investors to crypto in 2021

Content coins will bring in a new wave of users, creators, artists, brands, and investors to crypto in 2025

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

An app that helps creators and artists make money from their content, without requiring them to know anything about crypto

That’s a beautiful feat

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Consumer frontend, crypto backend

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

The only way out is to accelerate through abundance

We need 1,000x more people onchain

This is why @base is onboarding new creators who can onboard the world

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Content coins on @base are going viral

More positive sum outcomes for creators, more people onchain

Dune

@Dune

1/ A big weekend for @zora Coins.

Following the announcement of the $ZORA token and a wave of activity sparked by a viral content coin on @base, Zora saw record-breaking onchain engagement.

Here’s a look at the data — and the context

dune.com/zorateam/coins

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Zora doesn’t feel like a crypto app, it feels like a cutting edge social app

But the crypto stuff happening under the hood gives creators unique benefits they can’t get in web2

This is the winning formula

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

It’s art and creative culture that drives the adoption of new technologies

It’s a win for all if @base’s cultural layer thrives

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Culture is the invisible thread that helps or hinders technology adoption

Zora vs Spotify

Nothing better than seeing creators make money onchain

@zora vs Spotify, a classic case of “difference” - My album anniversary story.
