The new episode of The Engine is up!

We are talking about Building in Consumer Crypto and Crypto Art.

Our guests are:
Jordan Lyall @JordanLyall, the founder of @venture_punk, @ProhibitionArt and @skylab_xyz,

and Devon Figures @devonfigures, the founder of @whitewallsapp.

TL;DR: The NFT craze of 2021 was insane and will probably never be repeated but digital art will only continue to take more and more space in our lives.

Here are a few quotes from this episode 👇

[The Engine @TheEngineMedia]

About points:

“We've got a really fun point system, communal farming.

Every time you stream an art piece into your space, we call this person an “appreciator,” they're accumulating a lion's share of this point distribution.

If it's a shared piece, the token owner, by default, is also getting an allocation of points.

The original artist of the work is also getting an allocation of points.

Even if they're not users within WhiteWalls, that's going to be backlogging into their account. So the first time they come in, they'll be able to see the points that they've got.

Eventually, as we roll out curations, people who are actively curating will receive portions as well. And so we want to give respects to every person in this ecosystem.”
