Exploring onchain always moves in waves. Some weeks are quiet — others feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day.

Right now, we’re in the thick of it. New projects and tools are shipping fast, especially in crypto’s culture scenes.

Here are a few that stood out this week.👇

~~ from @wmpeaster~~

⬆️ @UpsideFun

Monetization via content coins is all the rage. The newest oncomer here is Upside, which just kicked off its Season 1 campaign.

The platform, which aims to make it easier to daytrade viral content online, lets you share new links to create instant markets that can be upvoted starting at $0.01 per vote.

As more folks buy, the upvote price increases along a bonding curve, which you can sell your votes into whenever you want. For now, the app's invite-only, so keep your eyes peeled for invite codes!

🎴 @ripdotfun

Collect, rip, redeem, repeat — that's the motto of RIP (dot) FUN. It's a new platform centered around the experience of opening digital card packs that can be redeemed for real physical cards, starting with Pokémon cards.

The project just launched its closed beta, so you'll need an invite code to dive into ripping packs and buying/selling.

That said, Pokémon cards are hotter than ever right now, so it's worth trying to nab early access here in my opinion. Keep it on your radar, at the very least.

💸 @theclipdotfun

Made by @0xchomu and @serverConnectd, Clip is an onchain Reddit alternative where you earn from posts and comments.

With crypto Reddit in decline, it’s good to see a challenger. The c/crypto channel runs on tokenized posts and Uniswap pools, not mods. Comment and trade to earn fees.

It uses Farcaster-based rep to stop bots. Just launched in beta. Worth a look.

📸 @revealcamfun

Many of you will recall Friend Tech, the onchain social network; but less will remember the FT team created Stealcam, a "steal to reveal" app for unveiling hidden NFTs through trades.

I loved the project. So it's awesome that a new crew of builders has revamped this model, albeit now on @base instead of Arbitrum and with coins instead of NFTs, via RevealCam.

Basically, you upload media, which gets pixelated, hidden, and tokenized. Buyers can reveal the underlying image by buying 10 million tokens from the market. It's light and fun, worth a try I say.

✨ @cultsdotfun

From the @dotfunlabs team behind Completor and @panicdotfun, Cults defies simple explanation, but it's essentially a launchpad that turns memecoins into viral cultcoins with unique mascots.

You can tweet out about a new coin to become a "Cult Leader," or reply to these posts with an initiation phrase to become a "Cult Member," after which an AI bot automatically remixes your PFP with that coin's visual mascot.

At a time when many token launchpads are basically offering the same UX, Cults is doing something different and baking distribution, identity, and liquidity into a single meme-factory. It's definitely one to watch.

[The Firewall Project @Tfirewall_]

Can open source replace a billion dollar company? We tried.

Cyberattacks and data breaches are a common occurrence these days. Many businesses struggle to prioritize cybersecurity due to limited resources and budgets.

Update: The threat actor targeting Oracle Cloud has released an additional 10,000 samples. We, along with many others in the community, have verified the authenticity of this data and also confirmed it with the affected customers. We can now confidently state that the breach is 100% real. We have updated our blog accordingly. If you are an Oracle Cloud user, it is essential to rotate your keys and passwords immediately. https://t.co/5n4KCNLNfv

[Jake Williams @MalwareJake]

Happy Friday. Even if you're not in Oracle Cloud, you probably have vendors who are. So I guess enjoy untangling this mess? No surprise BTW that it's yet another issue in WebLogic that's likely to blame.

@fs0c131y @elonmusk A lot of hacktivist groups claimed responsibility for the attack, why do you think it’s this one ?
Pretty dope finding

When you download a piece of pirated software, you might also be getting a piece of infostealer malware, and entering a highly complex hacking ecosystem that’s fueling some of the biggest breaches on the planet. https://t.co/yHxSLEnVSc
