Synth has moved to 0% miner burn, creating two immediate benefits:
• Rewards paid to miners will increase, which will improve data on the subnet
• Under Bittensor’s new emissions model, miner costs are covered while an increase in chain buys create sustained demand
Combined with Synth’s ongoing buyback program, this creates continuous positive flows into $SN50
These updates will accelerate our mission to build the leading benchmark for machine learning models in finance
Thank you to @generaltensor and the Synth discord community for analysis on this update
We love all of you, but we have very limited seating on our exclusive candlelight concert with @octantapp.
Two VIP seats left. Beautiful music, ambient lighting. Impress your market maker, date, or listing agent.
Tag who you’d like to bring and you might just get an invite.
we’ve got one final slot open at L’Atelier Crypto – our ETHCC event with @flipsidecrypto and @blockaid_
and we’re opening it up to the room
what would you want to hear about over pastis?
here are some topics we’ve got in mind, but feel free to drop your take below
We have over 30 creatives in our team. Everyone has different skills sets and all are phenomenal. Not all of them are rapid though and I'd say 80% of our clients need rapid.
There's 2 reasons for this.
1. Crypto does move quickly.
2. Most projects are builder-first and they don't think about brand and marketing until last minute.
Number 2 is honestly the bigger problem I think, but regardless you have to find a way to deliver and sacrifice a lot of the creative process. So work and opportunities suffer.
Time is the biggest piece missing for most good work that could have been great in this space.
HOT TAKE: our industry severely lacks taste.
In web2 agencies, with big brand clients, you never want to put shit in front of a client in case they like it. So you take the extra time and process to produce higher quality work before pitching it.
It's 5x worse in crypto and unfortunately because of time constraints we often have to run with quickly thrown together ideas.
AI art is also used as standard with many web3 brands which if done badly just looks cheap.
"Taste" is getting better in crypto and brand marketing is improving. The bar is being raised as more talented creatives and marketers come in to the space... let's see how many can cope.
Ultimately there is no replacement for time.
My hope is projects hire marketing and creative in-house earlier in their life cycle so it gets valued at an earlier stage - giving us more time.
What’s needed:
- more edu projects like @shefiorg
- more passionate and vibing people like @sahadevgh & @dee_centralized
- more devs onboarding projects like @_HerDAO
- more mindful marketing like @hypepartners
- more grants, ambassador programs & meetups (make meetups great again!!)
- more apps helping my mum to come onboard (eg @family / @zerion)
What’s not needed:
- snobby & elite attitude at conferences (where I’m probably part of too)
- thinking in silos
- KOLs whose Opinion is not Key
- incomprehensible UX showing a lot of complexity on purpose
Let’s work toward this together
