Mirror is rebuilding publishing for Web3. Mirror allows users to create a publication on the blockchain. As a publisher, you can launch a crowdfund, launch an NFT, turn your post into an NFT, collect tips, split proceeds across contributors, and participate in the crypto economy.
Unlike a traditional publishing platform, Mirror gives you the tools to get paid on your own terms. It’s also decentralized, so platform risk is reduced relative to platforms like Medium.
Many DAOs launch on Mirror via a Crowdfund. For example, DAO Masters launched via a Mirror campaign here. CabinDAO and PartyDAO did the same.
Mirror has also become the primary publishing platform for DAOs.
To access Mirror, connect your wallet and create a publication.
Users can do a lot with a Mirror publication. The main features include:
Mirror is the easiest way to crowdfund and raise money for a DAO. It also has the largest crypto-native audience of any publishing platform, so it’s a good place to find your initial community. It also makes launching and selling a token, NFT, or crowdfund easy.
Mirror automatically sends tokens to crowdfund contributors’ wallets. ERC-20 custom tokens don’t automatically show up in ETH wallets, so users have to share the token address with their community to enable members to “add the custom token” to their wallets.
Sometimes the Mirror site is slow. Just message in the Discord to see what’s up and the team will help.
A few words of advice specific to crowdfunding a DAO on Mirror:
