Mirror Launches Web3 Subscriptions
Image: Mirror.xyz
Mirror.xyz the Medium of Web3 is launching the ability to subscribe to content creators on the platform using a crypto wallet. Users will also get an e-mail when new content is created.
The company is focusing on using crypto wallets to:
Build a wallet-based community usable on web3
Make wallets the ID of web3 instead of email
Allow ownership, collection, support and governance
Open up new ways to create content and engagement
Our take: A very novel concept since e-mails do not contain "money" and are only open to certain types of content being sent. For example you can't send an NFT using your email. Being wallet based you could.
In recent months we have also noticed a lot of Web3 publishers choosing to publish content on mirror.xyz vs other content publishing sites. They seem to have traction and we might have to look at pushing there soon as well.
A real life example of subscribing from a great newsletter we follow: This Week in Music NFTs

Quick Headlines
FTX US launches stock trading to all users in USA - It will be free and will not use payment for order flow. Interesting shift away from the Robinhood strategy.
Algorand CEO is leaving the company - Plans to advise until middle of next year. Not a bullish sign for Algorand. Jim Cramer would tell you to sell.
Funding News:
Unstoppable Domains goes Unicorn with $65M Series A - They sell NFT based domains which can be used with crypto wallets.
Center raises $11M seed round - The company is trying to organize and index "all" NFTs. Sounds like they are trying to be the Google of NFTs. We like it.
Cuts:
Immutable the NFT gaming company lets go of over 20 headcount - Creator of Gods Unchained cites it as a "small reorganization". They should just call it what it is. Layoffs.
No one believes Jim Cramer anymore. LOL.
