The Power of Community in Web3
How Collaborative Efforts Are Shaping the Future of Digital Ownership
Today was a remarkable day for me in the world of Web3. The minting of ROONS on RUNE was an incredible experience, but what truly made it special were the connections and innovations happening within our community. This post reflects on the significance of collaboration, the exciting projects unfolding, and the value we’re building together.
Celebrating Zero Authority & ROO 🎉
A big shoutout to Zero Authority and the $ROO kangaroos! Jackbinswitch authored the first blog post for Zero Authority, while Ian helped create these unique tokens. The collaboration and creativity shown by our community are inspiring.
The new logo for $ROONS on RUNE was designed by talented community members through a bounty offering 1,000 $ROO on Stacks via Zero Authority DAO. It was a special moment when Stacksy participated for the first time by connecting wallet on Zero Authority. This initiative showcases the power of community engagement and collective creativity.
Empowering Local Web3 Communities 🌍
Stacksy and many other creators have supported their local Web3 communities countless times. However, until now, there hasn’t been a straightforward way to lock up rewards and share them with the members we value most. With rewards embedded in smart contracts, we can guarantee asset availability and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from working trustlessly. This innovation is a game-changer!
The Journey of OrdinalsBot 🚀
I still remember when bruffstar, the founder of satoshibles and co-founder of ordinalsbot, first bridged an NFT collection from ETH to STX. His dedication to creating solutions for this new technology has been instrumental in advancing our ecosystem. The innovations brought forth by projects like Ordinals are paving the way for future possibilities in digital ownership.
Connecting the Lego Blocks of Web3 🧩
Since 2017, I've shared the vision that the Lego blocks of Web3 would eventually connect. Today, I witnessed this vision come to life! The ROONS logo was created through a bounty on Zero Authority, and I purchased ROONS on a platform developed by Bruff, which makes inscriptions accessible to all. I now proudly own these assets in my XverseApp and LeatherBTC wallets.
Creating Real Value 💰
The fact that these innovations have actual value and are being traded on platforms like Bitflow and Heremetica is next-level. I fondly remember interviewing Heremetica and learning about their groundbreaking projects on Bitcoin. Meeting Diego in 2021 was another highlight; his commitment to using NFT revenue to buy school supplies for children in Miami-Dade is a testament to the kindness and generosity within our community.
A Message to the Future 🚀
To wrap up this incredible day, I sent @hodlstx a special message on Stacks block 171834, anchored to Bitcoin block 867867. This transaction will live forever, allowing me to look back and share this moment with my children. It’s a reminder of the journey we’re on and the impact we’re making.
Embracing Freedom and Opportunities 🌈
The overarching themes of today are freedom, liberty, and opportunities for all. As we continue to innovate and collaborate within our community, the future looks bright. Together, we’re shaping a new era of digital ownership and creating lasting value for everyone involved. Here’s to the amazing journey ahead!
