Mirror Empowers Writers with Subscriber NFTs & Web3 Tools to Build Engaged Audiences ✍️

One of the internet’s paradigm shifts is that anyone can share their work with the rest of the world digitally. But as the sea of information online grows, how do new content creators get discovered?

Enter Mirror: a robust web3 writing platform that allows creators to publish their content on-chain as permanent, digital collectibles & empowering them with web3-native tools to grow their audiences. One of those tools is Subscriber NFTs: enabling writers to embed NFT drops into their blog posts, and allowing subscribers to claim those exclusive NFTs.

By using Mirror, creators on the platform have already grown their audiences by hundreds of thousands — with communities like Optimism driving 550k+ subscriber-only NFT mints from their 2022 Year in Review blog and Base x Optimism Collaboration announcement.

Learn more about how writers are using web3 to grow their audiences, and how Mirror empowers creators with tools like Subscriber NFTs:
