Issue 98 

First week of March 2023 and nothing short of drama upon drama. MonkeDAO in the spotlight for all the 

wrong reasons- most times when I read the threads about what is going on it sounds like a precocious brat 

not getting its own way. Rarely do I see positive threads about them. On top of this drama, 2 of our dear 

community artists were wallet drained this past week, tat2fingers and TinyDrawings. Having your wallet 

drained innocently is a horrible affair. The shock alone is mind bending. For those who don't know, Tat2Fingers 

is the father of Tinydrawings, Suga_Skies is the mother. Suga and Tat have been highly supportive of their son's 

venture into NFT and he has carved out a name on his own. TinyDrawings has been featured a few times in 

#SHILLzine. He is on ExchangeART and Formfunction. In this issue, I have given pps122-129 to TinyDrawings. 

Help support him rebuild what he lost. 

#SHILLzine picked up 2 pieces this week from CrowdedPiko and Seckintenici. 

Seckintenici's piece was featured as the cover of issue 97. 

Kudos to Artcons9 for cover honours this issue. The mix of Van Gogh, Frankenstein and Artcons9's signature 

style make for an eye-catching cover. 

Your support via retweets helps #SHILLzine reach a broader audience. Every retweet is greatly appreciated. It 

has helped this magazine achieve 638,053 views across 97 issues (previous week = 634,744). 

#SHILLzine still has pieces listed for auction. Every little purchase helps make this magazine worthwhile.

and so, we are partnering with The 100 leading artists on 

Solana, both established and emerging. The 100 is a unique 

collaboration with two simple goals: Elevate the state of digital 

art and amplify SolCity Radio's ongoing efforts to strengthen

@90Payan 

Degen DAO Ape Club … soon JuicyApes! 

What’s a project worth? What defines a project? Some say utility, some say art. I’m convinced that it’s firstly community. 

That’s what Degen DAO Ape Club is about. 

Started as a degen mint on last year with a mint price of .169 Sol. People fudded, they said that we would never sell out 

with so few DC members. 

We sold out the original collection with a size of 4200 apes which are now living on the Solana blockchain. But now we 

want YOU to move to Juicy Heights - the place where all Juicy Apes are living! 

The Founder 

Some weird fudder said he was a Canadian guy from Brisbane and he was going to rug. This has been a running gag for a 

year now. 

Community says he doesn’t manage to rug. 

All in all, TreeBurgers is a passionate degen from Denmark, a multi-talented individual. He is an artist who created art 

for several projects, a streamer (own YT channel), blockchain explorer who demasked a bunch of rugs, self-made web3 

pioneer and last but not least the Founder of DDAC and he’s really loving the community he built up. 

The Team 

Our team consists of 16 degens right now. 

Core members were formed before the Gen 1 mint, more members which accompanied the project since mint were 

onboarded just recently to support the Gen 2 milestone. From IT experts, project managers and developers to artists 

and social workers. We don’t claim us as experts. 

We are still learning. But we’ll learn together, support each other so we’ll grow skills, gain experience and do care about 

the community. 

The Community 

I onboarded on 4th of February, so did many other degens who are still with the project. We’ve experienced lots of ups 

and downs.

The overall bloody crypto winter on one hand, a win against the former hyped Degen Dojo in a doppel.sol twitter 

poll on the other hand (FR, was hyped like birthday & birthday together). 

You may wonder what this “0.1 ” means… at some time the community degens demanded a floorprice which 

goes down to 0.1, so buying more DDAC is cheaper, “sadly” that never happened - DEGEN DAO Ape Club, the 

name says it all. 

SHILL Issue #98

Our path so far - DDAC & sub-collections 

After the Gen 1 mint out, community was formed, and the team experimented with several web 3 utilities. 

Shortly after the poll-win against Degen Dojo, TreeBurgers released the DDDC - Degen DAO Dog club collection. The dogs 

had matching traits to the original apes. It was a free mint for all holders and a lively swapping begun, it was fun to find 

the matching dogs to your apes. 

Sometime after DDDC, $BREAD was introduced. The native token of the DDAC Gen 1 universe, earned by staking. This 

token was also used to mint the 3rd collection of the DDAC universe, the floppy Taika Penguinz. 

This mint had most of all the use of gaining experience in setting up a native token mint. Nevertheless, I think the artwork 

is amazing. Later as the Bonk hype came up, staking for $BONK was introduced for the Taikas.

Soon TreeBurgers faced several problems coming 

along with the work in web3 NFT space. He solved 

them and provided the solutions to the public by creating 

the JuicyLabs.app utility suite. 

We don’t want to withdraw money from our loyal 

holders, so for each DDAC “Gen1” NFT, our holders get 

2 Juicy Apes NFT as a free mint. Supply of Juicy Apes 

will be 10k. 

So, if you do the math, there’s not much left for the 

WL/public mint. But as we see the struggle of many 

projects to mint out, we believe that’s a good approach 

to honour our holders and to onboard some 

new faces to the universe of Juicy Heights. 

Mint will be in two stages - first the Juicy Bottles will 

be minted. After some time, the JBs can be swapped 

for the Juicy Apes. 

JuicyLabs contains a token airdropper, a holder snapshot 

tool, a token collection burner, an SPL burner and 

a wallet tracker. Furthermore, a raffle site was implemented 

to win several NFTs by using your $BREAD 

tokens. 

The path in the future - Juicy Apes mint! 

DDAC was a degen mint. We concluded that the 

blockchain has matured us (and everyone who walked 

through this bloody bear market) and the DDAC apes 

as well. 

To meet our demands, the gen 2 art will be a complete 

upgrade. Furthermore, the collection will be named 

Juicy Apes to match with the toolsuite of JuicyLabs. 

We have planned a lot of new utility for this new 

collection (and for the sub collections) - just a hint: the 

art is not the only thing that will be Ominous! And you 

may be able to change almost any of your favourite 

NFTs with new traits. For more information stay up to 

date by following our twitter @DDApeClub. :) 

And of course, feel free to visit us in our discord server 

and say hello! Visiting the DC would be also worthwhile 

if you’re a 1/1 artist looking for a chance - we 

may want to highlight your art as a special 1/1! 

Finally, I would like to thank you for your precious time 

spent reading this far, see you in Juicy Heights!

Value of 

Caleb @asknoot 

What a week it has been! We’ve seen crypto prices 

PUMP, NFT floors DUMP, and we even have an update 

on my liquidation story from last week’s article 

Before any of that, take a moment to close your 

eyes & think to yourself on this question: 

”What do NFTs bring to the table?” 

Art? Sure. 

Utility? Definitely sometimes! 

Team of supporting roles? Not always. 

I hope you thought on that question! If you didn’t 

take enough time, no worries, keep an open mind 

& let me know what you think at the end of today’s 

newsletter. 

I’ll cover the loan liquidation update at the end 

(I won’t even be mad if you skipped ahead) but 

don’t miss out on the alpha for what NFT projects 

benefit from the MOST out of all value-add 

propositions: Community. 

Community’s Value 

As humans, we are called to community. It is 

natural because we are made for working, and 

playing, and creating, and literally just BEING 

together. Through community, you can find a 

sense of belonging & common values, personal 

growth & support, and overall enrichment to 

your life with new & SHARED experiences. 

NFTs are an amazing case study of these benefits. 

With enough exposure & time, an NFT community 

naturally forms around the art, the utility & 

the team by attracting people to these aspects 

on some level. In a collective effort, what is 

forged from this becomes more than the sum of 

each piece. 

Many Solana projects do this very well but as 

always, one bad apple can spoil the bunch… 

Bad Actors 

In the Web3 space, the right of anonymity is 

abused constantly, allowing grifters, trolls & 

frauds to disembody these principles of community 

such as: 

• TrizyTrades convincing a group from the 

DeGods Community to fundraise and buy 

him a DeGod before instantly flooring it 

for liquidity & deleting his Twitter account 

• “DELISTTTT” people in general chat 

simultaneously flooring their NFTs 

• FTX’s founder boy SBF & his massive 

fraud/betrayal of the Crypto & NFT community 

Community can sometimes boil down to the 

weakest link, thankfully enough of these situations 

were expected stumbling blocks on a 

focused mission. Honestly, after the last point, 

do I really need to say more? 

Differentiating Leaders 

Some parts of NFT project founders’ success 

comes legitimately from luck. Being in the right 

place at the right time with the right skills is 

always a sweet deal, but sometimes you don’t 

even need those skills if you have a community 

who fills in the weaknesses. 

• WendysDAO is a perfect example of how 

a toxic leader can make selfish choices. 

Jawnxwick helped build the beginnings 

of the community alongside many SOL 

natives. He began to abuse the popularity, 

shilling multiple “degen” mints and 

pushing prospective members to mint 

for DAO membership… 

Later he attempted to push the DAO towards 

a merger before being scolded by 

the community & eventually banned. As 

a founding member myself, I’ve enjoyed 

watching the developments by the community 

to grow past this to support its 

community such as an active & safe chat 

to have conversations, project whitelists 

& presales, and expanding further into 

spaces & content! Ayda, Adams, Glockness, 

KOONTZZ, Jdee & Pan are some of 

16 SHILL Issue #98

the DAO’s leaders bringing value daily. 

• Weeping Angels founder sold out of the 

project shortly after building a suite of utilities 

& building a community to rival many 

degen mints during that period. 

Although I’m all for being acquired, the community 

was blindsided by the takeover & 

support waned quickly thereafter. Efforts by 

the community have recently placed these 

guys back on the map. I’m curious how 

they’ll do as I currently own zero and have 

loved the pixel art. 

• SolanaMonkeyBusiness founders v. 

MonkeDAO has been a tale old as time. Uninterested 

team members can weigh down 

a project like a rock, but this DAO has succeeded 

in creating endless value for EVERY- 

ONE in Crypto, not just Solana. 

Now considering the recent acquisition of 

the OG collection by HGE & Hades team 

along with the new Monkes Collection, this 

conflict now under a time limit. 

Good Community & the Update 

Creating a community and fostering those core 

members is a difficult but rewarding experience. 

For me, GhostKidDAO has become one of the most 

natural blends of community since its $3-4 mint 

back in Spring 2022. 

Investing in the community early, I found myself 

in the pleasure of hosting many GhostKidFamily 

Fridays & the Chop Up under the GKD umbrella, 

meeting holders throughout the community who 

are focused on the wellbeing of all. This made my 

liquidation last week evermore heartbreaking. 

But, with community comes with intangibles & 

good-natured people like Dogelana: 

They’ve scooped up my OGKD to ensure its safe return 

in the near-term as a surprise to me. 

What a GOAT, going thru the difficulty to track down 

the current owner & agree to a trade. We’re working 

on a swap this upcoming week but Dogelana has 

been more than kind on this front - stay tuned. 

Communities devoted to uplift one another are the best 

to be apart of, requiring a solid core of team & supporters. 

If you find a group with shared interests & blossoming 

friendships, HOLD ONTO THAT. 

WAGBOO forever baby! 

“The greatness of a 

community is most 

accurately measured by the 

compassionate actions of its 

members.”

@CryptoMagellan 

The day has arrived! My 13 piece Firing Order series of original photography is live now for instant sale & offers on @ 

formfunction 

Formfunction and Underground Royalty Society 

First and foremost, a link to purchase the series: https://formfunction.xyz/@magellan/series/firing-order… 

Next, and more important, a story... 


formfunction.xyz 

I begin with a letter from our AI overlords, from a dimension and possible reality not so far adjacent to our own. Let’s try 

that again, a little more human now... 

Firing order affects the vibration, sound and evenness of power output from the engine…firing order is an experiment, 

my logical electroorganic parts intermingling with my creative heartstrings to generate something entirely distinct and 

lean into photography...

for the beautiful medium that it is, embracing it fully for the first time rather than shying away. Imagine; the coldest frost 

of winterbitten fingers touch a fresh berry picked off the bushes in the heat of summer, all at the same time, in the same 

place. That has been my year.

Nobody today REALLY wants to read a million tweet thread, so here, I’ve taken a simple snapshot of the story of 

me, you, and this work; the uninterested and impatient can fast forward 

8 SOL is the price for each piece in this series because it’s my favorite number and always has been. Because 

photography deserves to be valued. 8 is the month of my birth, and the day of my daughter’s birth. If it does not 

sell, I will leave it for as long as needed. 


21

I’ve hidden some clues to my own light and shadows in the 

titles of pieces in this series. The breadcrumbs I left might 

lead you into a dark forest and I can’t promise we’ll find a 

way out, but I’ll be sure to join you on the journey. 

Because art has & always will transcend time, price, 

& trends. Art is infinite and forever, like the number 8 

sideways. Art lives in the shadows and comes to life when 

other beings resonate & vibrate in its light. Art transmutes 

energy & boundaries between viewer, artist, & time. 

I promise that it will be genuine even if a bit scary. But what’s 

life without a little spice? You can keep sitting there or you 

can be enveloped by it, and see my heart open under greencrusted, 

floating trees and the chirp of birds just beyond your 

perception that make your heart sing. We might see creatures 

in the night, a messenger may come and haunt us, or 

deliver us from those shadows, if we are willing to listen. Can 

you uncover my light and shadows? Do you want to? What 

are your own? Will you come with me? Come with me.

@unity_rob 

@atadia_io is minting Neo Atadians tomorrow as part of their hybrid IDO What does this mean? Should you take part? 

OVERVIEW 

Atadia is a web3 analytics company, providing user profile data OG Atadians are the original collection, which minted 

almost a year ago in March 2022 Since then, they have been operating with a ~$500k budget Tomorrow they’re having a 

hybrid IDO to raise more funds. 


63

HYBRID IDO 

-Supply: 10k -Price: $100 So what is a hybrid IDO, you 

ask? It’s technically an NFT mint with IDO-like functions 

Instead of staking, it’s going to have a very fast token 

release Each Neo Atadian comes with a random unlock 

date and a fixed amount of $ATA, their token. 

They have 2 tokens: - $ATA (utility token) - $PTT (governance 

token) $ATA total supply is 1B, 10% of which 

is allocated towards hybrid IDO, so 100M Here’s $ATA’s 

planned distribution & release schedule. 

95% unlock before May 2023; Once that date arrives, 

you can either: 

Release all the stored tokens 

“Defy fate” - keep the NFT, which can be used as credit 

card limit increase on Lending Lab -commit them -get 

them back after the loan is repaid -default = burn 

$ATA can be used for: 

Staking for $ATA & $PTT (1 - 48 month lock) Note: staking 

$ATA stored within NATDs will make them survive 

Credit system - extend credit line & higher value loans 

when putting the token on the line 

TOKENOMICS 


Lead generation - digital advertising service by doing targeted 

airdrops based on wallet-based personas: 

-Stake $ATA 

-Atadia launches airdrop based advertising campaign 

-Reconcile rewards based on the performance. 

For every successful lead, a fixed amount of $ATA will be 

deducted from the staked $ATA Airdrop recipients who 

respond, will be able to claim: 

Project-provided benefits e.g. a discount, a whitelist spot, 

etc. 

Atadia-provided $ATA for the label data 

The Lending Lab Uncollateralised lending tool: Based on 

your footprint data both on-chain and off-chain, which they 

get from the wallets and socials you provide Amount ranges 

from 1-4 Sol for 14 days Interest rate is 0.7%, 0.6% for VIPs 

& 0.3% for OGA holders 

WHAT THEY’RE BUILDING 

Atadia’s team operated a data science company IRL before 

their web3 venture Their team consists of data scientists, 

developers, fund managers, analysts etc. They’ve built: -The 

Lending Lab -Proof-of-Loyalty (PoLo) Tool -The Atadian Pass 

-gmDATA Let’s explore each 

Proof-of-Loyalty (PoLo) Tool Currently still in beta Designed 

to help projects direct their WL spots to long term holders 

Users - effortless, grind free whitelists, benefitting from 

their reputation Projects - quality long-term holders right off 

the bat.

The Atadian Pass It’s an NFT with all your information Atadia 

aggregated: -PFP, -Credit, -diamond hand & -reputation 

score Allows you to BENEFIT from the Lending Lab, PoLo and 

passive income from third party checks I was lucky enough 

to already get one early 

dApp level 

gmDATA 

Suite of APIs about user profile data: -Background check 

-Scores -Wealth -Demographics -Holder behaviors -Transaction 

frequency & volume -Secondary market activity -PnL 

All data in either: -Wallet level, -User level or -Community /

SUMMARY 

Overall the Atadia team means business and aren’t 

messing around If you think there’s no money in the 

data business, think again Reminder that Facebook 

became one of the largest companies in the world by 

leveraging the vast amount of data that it collects from 

its users. 

ADDITIONAL SAUCES 

Whitepaper: https://atadia.gitbook.io/wp/ Website: 

https://atadia.io Products: https://product.atadia.io Twitter: 

@atadia_io 

Here’s how they leveraged data over the years, and how 

Atadia can, too: 

Highly personalized ads, with a very high conversion rate 

- see (7/13) 

Behavior data analytics to develop and improve new 

features, such as the news feed - for Atadia the gmDATA 

section 

Acquisitions to collect even more data and expand the 

user base Will Atadia become the Facebook of web3? 

Who knows But if they do succeed, they’re gonna be 

big.

At the time of writing, the Solana market cap is $8.04 billion with a 24-hour volume of $479 million. The price of SOL is 

$21.23 and market dominance is 0.79%. The Total Crypto Market Cap is $1.03T, down 3.89%. The NFT transaction volume 

surpassed 500,177 SOL, closing in on $10.6M in the last 7 days. 

Solana can process thousands of transactions per second, significantly faster than many other popular blockchains. This 

allows for fast and efficient processing of transactions, making it attractive for developers and users who want to avoid 

high gas fees associated with other blockchains. 

Solana enables developers to build complex and sophisticated decentralised applications, which is why the network 

appears to be speed-running the rest of the industry both in the DeFi and the NFT sector, as we’ve seen with the NFT 

Marketplace wars around the zero royalty meta. 

How NFT DeFi can Offset Solana’s Inflationary Mechanics 

Solana, like many other cryptocurrencies, has an inflation rate. Solana’s annual inflation rate is currently ~6.5% and will 

decrease by 15% every year. It will eventually stop at a fixed rate of 1.5%. 

In 2022, the Solana token circulating supply increased by 20%. This is a result of token unlocks and staking rewards. Today 

we are going to show you six different ways in which you can put your Solana tokens to work. 

Disclaimer: None of the following practices are financial advice. The purpose of this newsletter is to educate. Always do your own 

research. 

Staking 

Staking involves holding tokens in a wallet to help secure the network and validate transactions. In return, stakers receive 

rewards in the form of additional tokens. 

As a user, you can stake your $SOL tokens in a validator node, to help secure the network, or in DeFi protocols. 

Staking on a Solana Validator 

Solana is a delegated proof-of-stake network, meaning you can stake your SOL tokens, or ‘delegate’ them to validators 

who are responsible for processing transactions, running the network and keeping it secure. For doing this, validators 

earn rewards in a similar fashion to how one might understand Bitcoin mining.

Stake SOL with STEP: https://www.step.finance/learn/validators-staking-with-step 

Liquid Staking 

Liquid Staking allows users to earn rewards for staking their tokens while still being able to use those assets for 

other purposes. This provides stakers with greater liquidity and flexibility, as they can participate in other DeFi 

activities using their staked assets as collateral. 

Marinade Finance 

Marinade Finance is a protocol that enables users to stake their SOL using automated strategies and receive 

staked SOL tokens (mSOL) in return. mSol can be used in other DeFi applications. 

Marinade currently holds the majority of TVL on Solana, according to DeFiLlama, with a ~55% Market Dominance. 

• 6.28% APY 

• 20,800 Monthly Rewards 

• $140M TVL 


Jito 

Jito is the only liquid staking service for Solana that offers holders the distribution of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) 

rewards. MEV is the max reward value that validators can receive while adding blocks to a network. By using the Jito 

Stake Pool, users can stake their Solana tokens and receive a liquid stake pool token (JitoSOL) in return. This token provides 

both liquidity and a combination of staking and MEV rewards. 

• 6.16% APY 

• 502,727 SOL of Total TVL 

NFT Lending 

Solana DeFi platforms allow users to lend their tokens to borrowers who require them for various purposes. 

Lenders earn interest on their loans, while borrowers gain access to cryptocurrency without having to buy it themselves. 

In 2022, Solana saw the birth of a new narrative merging NFT with DeFi. NFT DeFi added several new use cases to the 

ecosystem and created new ways of generating yield with $SOL, such as NFT-collateralised loans. 

Sharky 

Sharky is the biggest NFT DeFi platform on Solana, with over 3.5 million SOL in Total Loan Volume.

FRAKT 

Although FRAKT has a lower APY %, many people would argue it is theoretically safer due to its liquidation mechanism. 

Liquidated NFTs which haven’t been repaid during their 12H Grace Period will automatically become eligible for the liquidation 

raffles in which Frakts stakers and Gnomies holders can participate. 

Atadia 

Atadia has developed the ability to offer instant, zero-collateral loans without the need for KYC. They use a machine 

learning credit scoring model trained on $300,000 worth of zero-collateral loans from Lending Lab to guide their underwriting 

criteria. Currently, their default rate on a volume basis is around 3-4%. 

Note: Currently, Atadia’s Lending Lab only allows borrowing.

Citrus (FFF) 

Famous Fox Federation recently launched its own peer-to-peer Lending platform. Citrus lending mechanics are 

similar to Sharky, however, loan duration time and APY % are generally smaller. 

Be Careful 

Recently, there was a liquidation cascade event which caused a major downtrend in several NFT collections. Be 

aware of the risks of NFT-Lending platforms. If the collateral suffers a major price drop and the borrower does 

not pay back, you will have lost money on your loans. 

Yield Farming 

Yield farming allows users to earn rewards or interest by providing liquidity to decentralised protocols through 

staking, lending or providing liquidity. 

Although yield farming can be an extra source of income, it also carries significant risks, such as price volatility, 

smart contract vulnerabilities and liquidity risks. 

Orca 

Being the largest DEX on Solana, Orca requires a large amount of liquidity. This is obtained through pools. 

While browsing the Liquidity tab, users can choose to provide liquidity to a diversified amount of trading pairs. 

AMMs 

Automated market makers (AMMs) are a type of algorithm that facilitates trading on decentralized exchanges 

(DEXs). They are designed to provide liquidity to the market by continuously buying and selling assets based on 

pre-determined rules. 

Hadeswap 

Hadeswap has several features, including 0% platform fees (subject to governance decisions using the $HADES 

token), 0% royalty fees by default (with an option to pay them), and progressive selling/buying of NFTs. Additionally, 

users can earn SOL while using the platform. 


119

Elixir 

Elixir is an ecosystem focused on NFT utility that includes an app powered by automated market maker (AMM) 

pools. The app offers various features, including instant selling, NFT exchanging, borrowing, earning passive income, 

and long/shorting. These features enable users to participate in NFT financialization and generate returns 

through various means. The Elixir ecosystem includes other core products in addition to the app. 

In conclusion, there are many ways to put your SOL to work beyond just buying and holding them. From trading 

and staking to lending and yield farming, the opportunities are plentiful.

WHY IS WEB 3 CHANGING THE WORLD 

By Jom 

1/3 

With recent technological developments, 

Web 3.0 is at the center of innovation for 

what is believed to be the new 

economic, creative and social revolution 

in the digital world. The next phase of the 

Internet represents a more open and 

decentralized network by giving control 

and ownership to all individuals. 

Web 3.0 is causing a huge change in the 

way we interact with each other, and its 

mighty rise will change the world for 

years to come. 

A new hope in technology for society. 

Transition from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 

The birth of the Internet came with Web 

1.0, when the world began reading on a 

screen for the first time in history. Let’s 

call this the era of informative internet. 

Through the emergence of Web 2.0 

social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, 

and YouTube in the early 2000s, the 

internet started its run towards mass 

adoption by introducing 

interconnectivity and bringing a huge 

shift in our society. With social media 

companies that acted as middlemen 

between users, we began to connect and 

exchange information about ourselves 

with people all over the world. As a 

result, the internet was transformed into 

a centralized technology where users 

had little influence over decisions and no 

sense of ownership. 

After 15 years of creating a globally 

connected world through social media, 

society stands at the most important 

transition in the history of the internet 

The ways we interact with technology 

are changing towards a more open, 

decentralized web thanks to blockchain 

technology. Web 3.0 marks an inflection 

point, allowing all of us to conduct 

transactions independently and with 

more control over our data. The sense of 

ownership offered by tokenization (NFT), 

made possible by Web 3.0 technology, 

enables everyone of us to design digital 

spaces for the first time by building 

communities where we may form new 

connections, try out new things, and 

shape the future into a better tomorrow. 

With this, Web 3.0 has opened a whole 

new era for the digital global economy, 

creating many new opportunities for 

creatives and entrepreneurs. Indeed, we 

live in the Digital Renaissance era. 

The power of NFT communities 

By bringing people together into groups 

of shared interests, Web 3.0 is enabling 

things that have never been possible 

outside of a physical space. 

Today we can collaborate, build, buy or 

sell art, and make decisions with our 

community from our own devices. 

Through NFTs, people experience a sense 

of ownership in a digital environment for 

the first time, creating a healthier and 

more sustainable ecosystem. This allows 

us to invent new opportunities and work 

on incredible causes as we push our own 

limits and become more powerful 

together, without barriers. Many artrelated 

communities, innovative 

companies, and supportive 

environments on different blockchains 

have emerged since the beginning, 

allowing creatives and entrepreneurs to 

make their dreams come true.

Also, in the NFT space, the independence 

and ownership of communities and 

individuals allows people to come 

together for humanitarian movements. 

As an example, during March 2022, 

Solana's community of photographers 

came together to sell a collection and 

donate the funds to food organizations 

to help Ukraine. In fact, this not only 

happened in Solana, but all across the 

technology throughout different 

communities that were coming together 

to help in as many ways as possible. 

Designing spaces through SolCity Radio 

As part of Web 3.0, we are all involved in 

transforming offline areas into public, 

interactive digital environments. By 

incorporating what we already know into 

this new technological era, we are 

constructing a safe, transparent, and 

authentic environment. This is mainly 

due to the sense of ownership, freedom 

and accessibility that blockchain 

technology brings to everyone, allowing 

us to feel at home in Web 3.0. 

As a founder and host of SolCity Radio, I 

am a firm believer in the fact that Web3 

media has the ability to develop more 

equitable and structured models that 

are advantageous to everyone. We need 

better online public places, urban digital 

designers, and digital architects who 

create areas as if they were in an offline 

setting. Like real-world cities, we need a 

number of online spaces where we can 

all learn from one another. Online digital 

ecosystems are unquestionably taking 

over as our primary living spaces, 

therefore let's make them as cozy as 

possible for everyone. A setting where we 

experience ownership as well as 

inclusion. A space where we can talk and 

get to know one another much like we 

would in Central Park. 

All of this is needed now, and can be 

done now with Web3 technology. It's time 

for a change, and that's what we're 

doing at SolCity Radio, designing spaces 

where we educate, engage and 

entertain, where people feel they belong 

to participate and make decisions. “The 

future of media is tokenized”. 

The question is; How do we design these 

spaces and why is this change 

necessary? Web2 media and social 

platforms have become massively 

adopted by society, personal data is the 

currency of exchange for “better ads” 

and people from different cultures have 

come together with no structure. There is 

a need for responsible development 

towards a more healthy and welcoming 

design of spaces for everyone. 

I recommend this Ted Talk on how to 

build healthy digital spaces for people to 

interact with each other.

Ownership of digital media 

Web 3.0 and the tokenized system (NFT) 

are having a positive impact on the 

global creative economy and allow 

people to own digital assets. Artists, 

creatives, entrepreneurs, and collectors 

can now own, transfer, and monetize any 

type of content or license without 

barriers. With this, proof of ownership 

can now be traced on the blockchain 

and when a token is transferred to 

another user, the rights are sent at the 

same time. 

and help people earn a living through 

the new digital economy and tokenized 

assets that live on the blockchain. 

Although the Web 3.0 community is 

mainly based on a Web 2.0 social 

platform for now, it is where we are 

starting this change. We are all working 

together towards a better future, and 

showing the world that it is possible to 

design and work in safe digital 

environments, where we are all able to 

make a living in the most independent 

way, without limitations. 

In other words, what an artist could 

monetize through tangible objects, can 

now do so through licenses and always 

traceable digital files thanks to the 

transparency of the blockchain. This 

creates a much more accessible market 

for everyone and a faster process to buy 

or sell work, which will help many people 

around the world to make a living from 

their devices as this new digital 

economy emerges. 

Digital media ownership creates a 

decentralized and participatory 

economy where all holders of certain 

tokens can belong to communities where 

people can build and collaborate for a 

better future, as mentioned above. 

This is just the beginning 

In conclusion, the necessary transition 

from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 is enabling 

people from all around the world to 

come together in powerful communities, 

design welcoming spaces where 

everyone can feel at home,
