Q2 Challenges + Invitation
In this Q2, our founding team is working in two main directions: the technical improvement of our MVP, and activating our community.
Technical Challenges
After the feedback received, we are working in a few fixes for our MVP.
We are looking for the best way to integrate a messaging tool inside Smartists, as suggested by some of our first Smartists’ studios.
Smart contracts to mint and sell Genuine NFTs with a use-license are on their way to Testnet.
Activating Our Community
So far, our community has been growing organically and we are getting close to 100 members in our Discord server. Our channel on ‘nfts-and-copyrights’ has lately been a more active, and we are happy to see more members actually interested in this matter as well as in what we are building.
Our founding team is eager to hear from the community for the upcoming steps. Therefore, we have just realised that setting the foundations to organise our community like a DAO might be a good idea. At this moment we are just exploring, brainstorming, and drafting.
We know that the starting point needs to be our mission of developing the best solutions for self-managed artists on the web3, building a dApp on Stacks, where transactions are secured by Bitcoin.
OUR MISSION - Bringing together Artists and Art-Users with privacy, security and benefits for all on the Internet of Value. Smartists is building a decentralized application for the management of art digital files preserving fundamental rights like Privacy, Intellectual Property and Freedom of Speech. Smartists aims to be the tool on the web3 for professional artists of any field: writers, visual artists and musicians to make business with their Intellectual Property.
You can read more about our mission and vision, and joins us now, but you may have already signed up to this newsletter because that mission resonated with you. Anyways, the time is coming to ‘activate your membership’, and have a say in the future of Smartists.
How to activate your Smartists membership?
Here is a first step and it comes with a welcoming present!
At this moment our community is going to use mainly our Discord server.
There are some interesting conversations already taking place there, and we are already hearing about projects coming from the first testers of our MVP.
As well as that, the NFTs collection created to support Smartists by Mirlo Music invited us to their Spring Concert - you can still find it in the channel ‘nfts-for-smartists’.
So, if you have not yet joined our Discord, I really think this is a good time to get involved in Smartists, and here is your invitation!
On behalf of our founding team, I can tell you that we are really happy for your support and we are looking forward to hearing from you!
