we hope making queryable place data available to anyone as free cc0 data unlocks more creativity from artists and developers building at the intersection of web3 and the real world.
making it easier for everyone to mint Places is a step in the right direction! /end
an update from Places! starting today you can mint a Place directly at https://t.co/PZvBHfLEqu (no more need to mint straight from contract!🫡 thank you RainbowKit / @rainbowdotme)
each Place is a real world geographic location provided as cc0 data and stored on chain. 1/
🎙bzzt, is this on? hey Place holders! just a heads up that we’ve paused minting and will take a snapshot on Monday (June 20 at 12:00pm PST) for an upcoming @gowalla airdrop 👀
there's a fair amount of evidence that NYC and Oakland are emerging as the two biggest hubs of crypto in the US - here's another good data point
Miami feels like the other major leader; combined they are a pretty profound trifecta in terms of societal influence and diversity

gm from PlacesDAO 🌳 today we’re dropping Oakland, our second batch of 500 Places NFTs. these geographic locations will join Brooklyn in our collection of IRL places minted on the Ethereum blockchain 1/x
https://t.co/PZvBHfLEqu
if you’ve never minted from contract before, it’s not hard, but is somewhat technical. you’ll need to connect your Ethereum wallet on the contract page (look for the ‘write’ tab), enter the mint fee (our first drop is Ξ0.05), then confirm the transaction. 🎊 7/x
we hope you join us for the drop on Friday — once again, 25% of mint proceeds will be set aside for community projects in Oakland 🌳
more details to come!
🌎 Places Oakland is dropping later this week: 500 fresh Places that celebrate the East Bay.
