听说你对Writing NFT很感兴趣？

Writing NFTs are a new method for writers to experiment with form, publish and earn money directly and instantly without any publishers. Writers can use them to sell books or poetry.

Writing NFT是一种新的NFT形式，作家可以在没有任何出版商的情况下直接和即时地试验、出版和盈利。作家们可以用它们来销售书籍或诗歌。

In the short time I have been in the crypto space, one of the things that stood out to me is the importance of communities. These communities can be a set of users of a protocol, a group of contributors to a DAO, or just a collective of people vibing around, ready to be tapped for certain causes. Given the open-source nature of crypto native products and services, communities are one of the highly valued moats and differentiators of any protocol or organization. Similar protocols can have different trajectories depending on its community of users (Uniswap and Sushiwap). By the very nature of their varying missions, each DAO is different based on the type of contributors it attracts (RaidGuild vs MetricsDAO). A community of NFT (non-fungible token) collectors can be different depending on the ethos and status projected by the NFT (Cryptopunks vs Nouns).

在我进入加密货币领域的短暂时间里，让我印象深刻的一件事就是社区的重要性。这些社区可以是一套协议的用户，一组DAO的贡献者，或者只是一群四处游荡的人，他们预备着因某些原因而被挖掘。鉴于加密货币原生产品和服务的开源性质，社区是任何协议或组织高度重视的护城河和差异化因素之一。类似的协议可能具有不同的轨迹，具体取决于它的用户社区（Uniswap和Sushiwap）。根据其不同使命的本质，每个DAO根据其吸引的贡献者的类型有所不同（RaidGuild vs MetricsDAO）。一个NFT（non-fungible token）收集者的社区可以根据NFT所投射的精神和地位而有所不同（Cryptopunks vs Nouns）。

How do NFTs fit into the aspect of community? Outside of their financial nature, NFTs are an on-chain signal regarding a certain quality of a user. Some of these signals can be of status (Bored Apes), belief (Poolys), and wealth (Uniswap LP Positions). NFTs holders can be tapped by particular protocols and organizations depending on what these NFTs signal. With this, NFTs offer a way to bootstrap communities. These communities can then be incentivized towards being users of a protocol, be driven towards supporting different causes, or be readily tapped to become contributors to a DAO.

NFT如何融入社区？在其金融性质之外，NFT是一个关于用户的特定品质的链上信号。其中一些信号可以是地位（Bored Apes）、信仰（Poolys）和财富（Uniswap LP Positions）。根据这些NFT的信号，NFT持有者可以被特定的协议和组织所发掘。基于此，NFT提供了一种引导社区的方式。这可以激励这些社区成为协议的用户，并被驱动去支持不同的事业，或者很容易成为 DAO 的贡献者。

Formally introduced by Mirror last May 25, 2022, Writing NFTs are interesting in particular because they are explicit in what they are signaling, which is about the central idea of the written piece. These NFTs are digital collectible versions of the writings published on Mirror. Hosted on Optimism, a Layer 2 Ethereum scaling solution, these can be minted virtually without any transaction costs. For writers, this presents a way for them to truly own and showcase their ideas. For collectors, this provides a unique way for them to show their support around an idea or cause. Currently in the primary market, over 70% of these collectors own just one distinct Writing NFT. The rest have at least two.

Mirror 于 2022 年 5 月 25 日正式介绍，编写 NFT 尤其有趣，因为它们在发出信号时很明确，这与书面文章的中心思想有关。这些 NFT 是 Mirror 上发表的著作的数字收藏版本。这些托管在第 2 层以太坊扩展解决方案 Optimism 上的NFT，几乎可以在没有任何交易成本的情况下进行铸造。对于作家来说，这为他们提供了一种真正拥有和展示自己想法的方式。对于收藏家来说，这为他们提供了一种独特的方式，来表达他们对某个想法或事业的支持。目前在一级市场上，超过70%的收藏家只拥有一个独特的Writing NFT，其余的至少有两个。

Writing NFT收集者的人数（按收集到的不同作品计算）

To dive in deeper, I made a Dune dashboard around these Writing NFTs. I’ll run through some of the insights I uncovered.

1. Only 32% of those who minted Writing NFTs have previously owned an NFT on Optimism. For the majority of Writing NFT owners, this is/was their first NFT on Optimism (including myself).

我相信这些NFT开启了一种在加密空间中建立和组织社区的新方式，一种以想法为中心的方式。

为了深入研究，我围绕这些Writing NFT做了一个Dune仪表板。我将介绍我的一些见解。

1. 只有32%的Writing NFT铸造者之前拥有过Optimism NFT。对于大多数Writing NFT的所有者来说，这是他们的第一个Optimism NFT。

新NFT所有者vs老NFT所有者

This shows the potential of these Writing NFTs in terms of onboarding users onto platforms and having them discover other aspects of the crypto industry such as owning NFTs.

2. The first mint of nearly 70% of all Writing NFTs were done by the writer.

这体现了这些Writing NFT的潜力，即让用户进入平台并让他们发现加密货币行业的其他方面，如拥有NFT。

2. 在所有Writing NFT中，近 70% 的Writing NFT都是由作者首次铸币的。You could say that writers themselves are bootstrapping communities around their ideas. Given that they are the source, this is a great way to signal their belief and draw attention to their piece.

3. Amongst the paid Writing NFTs (not free to mint), the most collected piece is “Come for the creator, stay for the economy” by Patrick Rivera. （we will write about this in the next article)

你可以说作家自己正在围绕他们的想法引导社区。因为这来自于他们，这是一种表达他们的信念并引起人们对他们作品关注的好方法。

3. 在付费Writing NFT（非免费铸造）中，收藏最多的作品是Patrick Rivera的 “Come for the creator, stay for the economy” （为创造者而来，为经济而留下）。

收藏量最高的作品

Coincidentally, the piece talks about how to bootstrap creator-focused platforms and protocols in the crypto space and build them to last. It provides a framework on how to approach the different phases of protocol building. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a peek into how it’s like to build these creator-focused protocols, participate in one, or even build your own.

4. The average mint price of writing NFTs is at 0.01 ETH, which is a little over USD 9 with current prices, depending also when you’re reading this. They are relatively cheap and there are over 2,000 unique addresses that own a Writing NFT by way of minting (counting only non-free mints).

巧合的是，这篇文章谈到了如何在加密空间中启动以创造者为中心的平台和协议，并建立它们来持续发展。它提供了一个关于如何处理协议构建不同阶段的框架。我强烈推荐给每个想要了解如何构建这些以创建者为中心的协议、参与其中甚至构建自己的协议的人。

4. Writing NFT的平均铸币价格在0.01ETH，以目前的价格计算略高于9美元，这也取决于你何时读到这篇文章。它们相对便宜，并且有2000多个拥有Writing NFT的独特区块链地址。（仅计算非免费铸币）。

价格越低收藏者越多？

While the financial barrier to collecting is low, the number of collectors do not stand out. However, the writers and collectors are still increasing every day so it will be interesting to see how things pick up from here. Remember, these NFTs were only formally launched a couple of weeks ago.

虽然收藏的经济门槛很低，但收藏者的数量并不突出。然而，作家和收藏家仍在与日俱增，因此，看事情如何从这里开始回升将很有趣。请记住，这些NFT在几周前才正式推出。

作者数量

There are also some areas for future research that are worth exploring:

What are the NFT ownership trends on Ethereum-mainnet of the Writing NFT collectors?

Do mint prices play a factor when it comes to the collection of Writing NFTs (e.g. are they barriers)?

Do collectors have a stronger affinity towards a writer or is it purely towards the Writing NFT’s idea/signal itself?

还有一些值得探索的未来研究领域：

Writing NFT收藏家在Ethereum-mainnet的NFT所有权趋势是什么样的？

当说到收集Writing NFT时，铸币价格是否是一个影响因素（例如，它们是否是障碍）？

对收藏家更有吸引力的是作家，还是Writing NFT本身？

Writing NFTs open up a new way to build and organize crypto-native communities, centered around ideas. NFTs in themselves are on-chain signal about a certain quality of a user and these NFTs can be a way for protocols and organizations to bootstrap communities. These communities serve as moats and valuable differentiators in crypto given the open-source nature of the space.

Given these, I believe the space around Writing NFTs would definitely be one to watch as it develops and becomes a key to building more communities.

Writing NFT开辟了一种新的构建和组织以想法为中心的加密原生社区的方式。NFT本身就是关于用户的特定品质的链上信号，这些NFT可以成为协议和组织引导社区的一种方式。鉴于加密货币空间的开源性质，这这些社区充当了加密货币的护城河和宝贵的差异化因素。

鉴于这些，我相信围绕Writing NFT的空间肯定会是一个值得关注的空间，因为它将发展和成为建立更多社区的关键。
