Tune in…

**As a fan, you should be able to stake capital into a music artist that gives them a new way to raise it by sharing success with you.**

This is a foregone conclusion.

So, I patented the process to make it happen faster.

Builders are now able to immediately use this process in web3 music applications.

Let’s see a simplified brief on the patent before we go into the story of its development and more detail on what it is, what it is not and what it is for.

### BRIEF

NFTs are used to crowdfund for a group of artists. The capital is used to generate a net-new revenue stream apportioned to artists based on their success relative to the group. Artists share this revenue with their fans.

Now, onto the story…

### IMPETUS

The arts have always been a formative part of my identity. I took art classes after my twin started piano lessons when we were about seven, but I didn’t pick up music until one of my best childhood friends convinced me to take guitar lessons with him a few years later. He’s been playing professionally in [bands](https://youtu.be/8XokXccue84) ever since, and asked me for financial support in 2017.

![4-17-2017](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2F9O7cIK0gdAZAQxJI6ThYU.jpg\&w=3840\&q=75)

4-17-2017

I was terribly conflicted. A donation was one thing, but I wanted to invest a sizable amount akin to an equity angel investment in a startup. I explained my hesitations knowing he didn’t yet have the proper legal framework setup to accept it. He understood, and was appreciative of a cash donation I sent to support his creative journey.

![5-18-2017](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FD62JFQNoVjtapUJywWJ7o.jpeg\&w=3840\&q=75)

5-18-2017

Even so, I felt we were both robbed of a positive sum opportunity. This was a big problem, so I began drafting a business method to fix it. Solving it was never far from my mind. I was constantly updating my draft and sending scratch notes to myself.

![6-28-2017](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FLvkGQwoTDrJJwfreYJyp3.jpg\&w=3840\&q=75)

6-28-2017

### CRYPTO

Later that year I added hundreds of cryptocurrencies to my investment portfolio. I took particular note of capital raised via Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). At the same time, I was keen to track the Supreme Court’s landmark case on overturning the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) to legalize sports betting. I sensed PASPA would be overturned, and knew a flurry of creative skill-based fantasy sports models would flourish if it was. So I continued tweaking the draft of my model to incorporate unconventional, skill-based approaches. The itch was incessant, often waking me up at night to jot more notes.

![8-23-2017](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FmBmK9tXb9CKLX9SY3IpEb.jpg\&w=3840\&q=75)

8-23-2017

### VEZT

PASPA was overturned almost a year later, in May of 2018. My obsession was unrelenting, so I decided to dedicate material time into deeper education to transition my career into the music industry. My research led me to Vezt who were exploring intriguing models in the music industry. I reached out to join their team.

![6-19-2018](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2F_crsej9-ll1tMV7StArE6.jpg\&w=3840\&q=75)

6-19-2018

I was ultimately offered the role.

![7-19-2018](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FxmFuk7F0mEnDBo83dQV9f.jpg\&w=3840\&q=75)

7-19-2018

We had a mutually beneficial evaluation and I was deeply appreciative, but never took the Vezt offer. I became resolute in my journey to finalize my model.

### NBA TOP SHOT

I knew there was a key piece to my puzzle missing, but my gut told me the answer was hidden somewhere at the cutting edge of blockchain technology. So I honed my research deeper into the blockchain over the two years that followed until an email from The Hustle landed in my inbox.

![9-4-2020](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2Fcjfwkt4WvApQ2hAgpwvXU.jpg\&w=3840\&q=75)

9-4-2020

One of my fondest childhood memories was my Dad signing me up for an Air Jordan Flight Club membership and I’ve always collected sports cards, so the [NBA Top Shot](https://nbatopshot.com/api/referrals/auth0%7C5f6464c6ded2eb00797e7874) model made sense to me immediately. I had actually just purchased a Jordan 86’ Fleer a few months prior.

![3-18-2020](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2F9JMJ-CB7yX92oJBnTdZ0z.jpg\&w=3840\&q=75)

3-18-2020

So the moment NBA Top Shot accepted me as one of the first few thousand users into their closed beta, I purchased a $49 LeBron moment.

![9-23-2020](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FFpeALXGRIND62xFxVQrrj.jpg\&w=3840\&q=75)

9-23-2020

Watching that $49 moment appreciate to [$110,623](https://nbatopshot.com/listings/p2p/7b797690-5b53-45a7-b972-bd2d5152654a+768166e3-f4bb-4395-9b48-4c545aebc95c/history/top-sales) was exhilarating, but the aha moment I had immediately after purchasing it got me even more excited. NFTs were the final piece to my model’s puzzle. Days later I finally had a more cohesive thesis for my draft:

> “NFTs will be the catalyst that drives the most disruptive, revolutionary changes to upend the music industry since music streaming began.”

I hadn’t been so sure of anything since a similar epiphany I had in 2007.

### ZAGSTER

My college roommate and I saw the world’s first large-scale, automated bike share system launch in Paris in 2007. We knew it would take the world by storm. We quit everything to bet the farm on it and Co-Founded a bike sharing company - [Zagster](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/zagster) - later that year. The rest of the world needed micromobility systems, but cities were in dire need of revenue streams from them, to make them sustainable. So one of our earliest business models was predicated on turning bike rides into cash through a carbon offset credit methodology I was authoring. The resemblance of our carbon credit symbol to bitcoin in [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkEXkKJL_M4) explainer video is an uncanny coincidence (I wish we knew about tokens back then).

![1-8-2010](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2Fso9N7u9PO1C1P--KvmZoV.jpeg\&w=3840\&q=75)

1-8-2010

After over three years of extremely stringent review and fine-tuning (mirroring that of a patent approval process), the United Nations approved our [methodology](https://verra.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Methodology-for-Determining-GHG-Emission-Reductions-through-Bicycle-Sharing-Projects-2011v04.4.pdf) in 2011. Zagster officially held the world’s first carbon credit financing methodology for micromobility.

![8-20-2007](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FdtNoGayhzGFTZLdZsiMLA.jpg\&w=3840\&q=75)

8-20-2007

The approval [catapulted](https://youtu.be/RDVmM4HuIKw) us from seed to venture funding, leading to acceptance into Techstars which ultimately led us to hundreds of employees, 250+ micromobility programs (bikes and scooters) across 35 states, $40M+ raised and our acquisition event about ten years later. Our methodology made bike sharing happen faster. All this to say, it’s been yet another decade since I’ve been so sure of a solution (web3 music capital distribution) to such an impactful worldwide problem...

**I haven’t had more conviction of a concept being a foregone conclusion since co-founding my bike sharing company back in 2007.**

### PATENT

Words can’t describe the joy of an aha moment like the one I had in 2007 after seeing bike sharing and the one I had for web3 music capital distribution after seeing NBA Top Shot over a decade later. NFTs really were the missing link. I sensed artificial intelligence would have a profound impact on many industries in general in the long-term, but knew NFTs were more specifically the keys to unlocking new ways of financing to disrupt the music industry in the nearer-term.

So with my thesis finally at hand, I restlessly finalized my draft and filed it as a provisional patent on April 5, 2021. I then sourced a top-notch attorney (Paul Novak) through my beloved [Water and Music](https://www.waterandmusic.com/) community and the two of us went through about two more years of exhaustive USPTO examination, debate and review.

I’m ecstatic to announce that as of the day of this post being released, my patent ([U.S. Patent No. 11,620,649](https://jasonmeinzer.com/patent)) has been officially approved and issued.

![4-5-2021](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FUXxTaSQuJVp1fckU8rHAJ.jpg\&w=3840\&q=75)

4-5-2021

That’s the story on how we got here!

So now let’s detail what the patent is, what it is not and close by looking to the future on what it is for.

## WHAT IT IS

Inventions that qualify for a utility patent are generally grouped into five categories: a process, a machine, a manufacture, a composition of matter or an improvement of an existing idea. My patent embodies systems and methods of using the blockchain to allow music artists to raise and distribute capital i.e. a process. Of course the patent lives for 20 years from April 5, 2021 as the source of truth, so expanding on it in this post won’t limit the claims of it. However, given the limited scope of this post we’ll sum up the key steps of the process briefly for illustration purposes:

1.  CREATE a collection of NFTs.
2.  ASSIGN each NFT to any unique artist and song combination, and an owner.
3.  MONITOR the performance of each unique artist, and song.
4.  CALCULATE an artist score and a song score.
5.  DISTRIBUTE capital to artists and owners.
6.  REPEAT.

If this sounds simple, good. The strongest patents are those that are most simple and broad. Let’s expand on the intended application of the process a bit for further illustrative purposes:

1.  CREATE a collection of NFTs within the system.
2.  ASSIGN each NFT to any unique artist and song combination (with their permission) and owner (in exchange for capital).
3.  MONITOR the performance of each unique artist, and song for a discrete period of time (e.g. one month).
4.  CALCULATE an artist score for each artist and a song score for each song based on their performance during the discrete period of time.
5.  DISTRIBUTE (a net-new channel of) capital to artists and owners based on the ranked artist scores and the song scores for the discrete period of time.
6.  REPEAT the necessary steps for subsequent, discrete periods of time.

Finally, let’s just call out five key themes throughout the 85 sections of the patent specification to expand on intended applications of the system:

*   The artist and owner as potentially being the same entity; see \[4.58], \[10.6], \[15.52], etc.
*   Artist participation as being in partnership, post opt-in consent; see \[2.31], \[9.7-9.39], \[10.6-10.40], \[14.41], etc.
*   Performance as being attributed to an artist's holistic success (not just that from an individual song), factoring in both web2 and web3 activity; see \[6.3], \[15.11], etc.
*   Capital obtained i.e. raised in exchange for ownership of each NFT as (also) being made exclusively available to artists; see \[2.31], \[8.47], \[12.15], \[13.9], etc.
*   The system as being agnostic, autonomous and self-sustaining with net-new capital mechanisms as being non-dilutive to and non-affiliated with artist intellectual property by default (e.g. existing copyright royalties), yet interoperable in harmony with other systems across the web3 ecosystem, ensuring artist self-sovereignty; see \[6.49], \[11.51], \[13.62-14.40], etc.

Put simply, NFTs are used to crowdfund for a group of artists to generate a net-new revenue stream that artists and fans share.

I encourage all to read the [patent](https://jasonmeinzer.com/patent) in its entirety for a more comprehensive understanding on what it is.

## WHAT IT IS NOT

After several years of deep research through the patent and web3 music ecosystems, I’ve remained mindful of related controversies and stigmas that challenge the good intentions of the web3 ethos my patent was built on. Due to the limited scope of this post, let’s just get ahead of five items to candidly express what this patent is not. This patent is:

*   NOT for trolling.
*   NOT for stymying progression or innovation.
*   NOT a HitPiece.
*   NOT for monopolizing or for exploitation to get money.
*   NOT a definitive business plan or model.

To add on to this last item, although SEC and legal considerations are discussed through the specification of the patent, a purpose of the patent is NOT to present a perfected business model that specifically addresses fluid SEC, etc. considerations; but to rather serve as a more general framework to reference while remaining mindful of such considerations.

While out of scope for this post, a topic of a future post may be a detailed walk-through of a business model application that puts the framework of this patent into practice.

## WHAT IT IS FOR

The overarching purpose of this patent is to expedite the realization of systems and methods of using the blockchain to allow music artists to raise and distribute capital with fans.

That is the single most important objective.

**So, this patent serves as a framework for builders to immediately use in new and existing web3 music applications.**

It’s not a matter of if this will happen or who will leverage this patent to do it, but rather just a question of when. Patents shorten the timeline. They stimulate innovation and were incorporated into the U.S. Constitution by 1790 for good reason. I’m a staunch supporter.

My secondary, personal intentions behind what the patent is for are more nuanced, and should never undermine this primary objective. So while the impetus of my story described here has remained a through-line over the 5+ years of development, let me remain just as candid by expressing five other personal motives that have fueled me. For me personally, this patent is for:

*   Nurturing my enjoyment in being completely consumed in the engineering of a meticulous business process that solves a worldwide problem with social impact.
*   Improving the odds of me being in the conversation with web3 music initiatives that incorporate innovative capital distribution models; whether through a job or my own entrepreneurial endeavors.
*   Being the sole inventor of an actual, officially issued patent (not a provisional patent).
*   Validating my research and development over the past 5+ years.
*   Transitioning my career into web3 music with this patent as leverage…

… because I yearn to return to my roots in being more involved in the arts using my business and product acumen, to empower artists to create more raw and true forms of it.

The improvements web3 will bring to industries like banking, government, agriculture, healthcare, etc. will result in profoundly *deep* societal impact. This is important and will take time. In the meantime, the opportunities web3 presents to the arts are immediately upon us and actionable. Realizing these opportunities should serve as a catalyst for other industries to follow.

Of all the arts, I believe the impact web3 will have on music will result in the most *wide* social reach. Most everybody can relate to music - it’s universal.

No matter where you are in the world and no matter your environment, if you’re fortunate enough to hear that one special song, the power it has to viscerally teleport you somewhere to a place of danceable joy is a very unique gift. Gifts from artists. Artists that need more capital. The arts make the world a better place. Especially music. I’m a big fan. I’m not the only one.

**Soon, you’ll be able to get proof you staked capital into a music artist that gives them a new way to raise it by sharing success with you.**

Stay tuned!

*P.S. This post is my genesis NFT as 25 editions, collectable for free.*


Tune in… As a fan, you should be able to stake capital into a music artist that gives them a new way to raise it by sharing success with you. This is a foregone conclusion. So, I patented the process to make it happen faster. Builders are now able to immediately use this process in web3 music

World’s First Web3 Music Patent for Capital Distribution

[Ukko](https://link3.to/galaxy) is a web3 enthusiast, influencer, educator, and builder. Over the past year, he has devoted himself to growing [SMART](https://link3.to/smrt), a community of crypto/web3-curious people from the [CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Independent_States) region. Beginning his journey as a cryptocurrency market researcher, Ukko quickly connected with other passionate individuals who cared deeply about sharing information and comparing notes about major projects. It was only a matter of time until SMART was born, championing a unique culture founded on self-reliance, radical transparency, and a collective desire to learn and grow.

“The most valuable aspect of SMART is its people,” Ukko writes to the CyberConnect team in a Telegram message from Moscow. In May, Ukko found out that some of his friends, who along with him have been staunch believers and supporters of CyberConnect, were gathering together in the Russian cosmopolitan capital to celebrate the project’s [CoinList public sale](https://twitter.com/CyberConnectHQ/status/1651633556123262979). Having moved to Mexico just last year to build a new future for his family, he did not expect to return to Russia that soon. But nonetheless, Ukko had to find a way.

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/6f64b32370a64b2e)   *Ukko's Link3 post to raise money for his trip to attend CyberConnect Moscow Event*

“My story with CyberConnect is special. Ignoring the rules of crypto investing, I have dedicated more than 80% of all my time to this one project, and have supported the team through all its milestones in the past year. When I received information about the community meetup in Moscow, I knew I had to be there,” Ukko wrote in a [Link3 post](https://link3.to/smrt/post/1d3e445eb4f466b43772825c737a02fa91c0a1718bf9b77efbc8f5201ca5fc56) from SMART. Creatively using Link3’s latest [post feature](https://link3.to/post) and its paid collectible settings, Ukko called on his community members for support to make his Moscow trip possible. By pricing his post at 50 USDT, he hoped that 40 supporters will mint his post-NFT and help fund his travels. To his own surprise, within 48 hours, he raised enough money to purchase the plane ticket. ”Link3 provides new possibilities that are already changing people’s lives. Thank you, SMART, for making this trip possible.”

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/25196c231bb11a5e)                   *Ukko addressing a CyberConnect community members in Moscow*

A web3 project is incomplete without a dedicated, engaged community. They are the cornerstone of our projects; they provide feedback, support in scaling, and represent our brands as ambassadors. This is remarkably different from how brand, product, or company building occurs in web2, where a single or a group of individuals control all the decision-making powers. Usually, communities around products or services emerge after they are publicly available, but in web3, this model flips on its head. From [Friends with Benefits](https://twitter.com/FWBtweets) to [Filecoin](https://twitter.com/Filecoin) or [Bored Ape Yacht Club](https://twitter.com/BoredApeYC) to [Ethereum](https://twitter.com/ethereum) itself, several community-driven projects have demonstrated what's possible when users have a say in the project's overall goals.

CyberConnect has been a community-driven project from its inception. We are on a mission to create long-lasting on-chain connections through the power of our network. With our open, permissionless, and composable protocol, we are building a new future of social networking on the internet, where developers can build innovative social applications, and users own their identities and data, while creators can grow their audiences in a fairer, more direct, and decentralized environment. Link3, a web3-native social network to build and discover new communities and creators, is our attempt at filtering out signal from noise. It is an example of the quality of products and services that can be powered by utilizing web3 technologies.

”Link3 is an excellent demonstration of Cyberconnect's capabilities. It caught my eye with its fresh ideas and new approach to social networks. In Russia, there is a significant problem of trust with the content creators, as many only project a beautiful and expensive external image with the reality being completely different behind the scenes. They rent houses, and expensive cars, and to generate hype, later selling their audience to advertisers. Link3 solves this problem by verifying identity and assets. This is the future.” said Ukko.

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/9724deff17686073)                               *CyberConnect Community Meetup in Moscow, Russia*

To Ukko, his community SMART is a mix of engagement, knowledge, high-quality content, community organization, and good vibes. "Smart is one of the most active crypto communities in the CIS region; it has attracted people with a high level of technical knowledge for exchanging experiences and up-to-date information in the crypto field.”

"Thanks to its friendly and productive atmosphere, strong individuals with something to say and share have joined the community. This leads to a constant and active exchange of experiences, knowledge, and important information from many crypto projects. We invite ambitious crypto enthusiasts to join our movement."

As SMART has grown from a single crypto aficionado to a 70K-member strong community of experts, Ukko finds himself grateful for what CyberConnect and SMART have done for him and so many others. "I thank the CyberConnect team for trusting me to create the SMART organization for a small community,” he said.

Well, Ukko - we thank you for believing in our mission and sticking with us.

Community superheroes like Ukko give us the strength to continue working towards decentralizing social networking on the internet. In the coming weeks, we will feature more champions like Ukko, who have taken the CyberConnect message to many corners of the world and helped us become a rising star in the web3 social space.

On-chain friends last forever.

## From the Start…

In order to know who Frankie Styles is, we have to start from before when I had made the alias that many know me by today. Let’s go back to high school days. By this time, I have been through some childhood trauma and abuse, moved around a few times, developed just total hate for my biological father (whom I am named after), and much more. I was a pretty good track athlete – at one point ranking number 2 in the nation for 110HH, going on to run track in college, and later, in the military. During my warm ups for track, I would listen to Frank Sinatra when I got really nervous, and that was the thing that would calm me down. One day in high school, I was singing a song out loud during a warm up, and my coach who overheard, said “Alright little Frankie, you’re too loud now.” That was the moment Frankie / Frank was born. I went on to make several iterations of this name: Hollywood Frank (which many in the hip hop world might remember me by), Frank Sanchez, Frxnke (when I made a name as a Twitter influencer), and then finally settled on Frankie Styles. The inspiration behind the “Styles” portion comes from my love for the Frankenstein story of creating something out of a lot of parts. I am a genre-less Dominican, Puerto Rican, and Italian music producer from Indianapolis, Indiana, who has served in the U.S. Army, and has been an All-American Track Athlete. To me, it does not get more Frankenstein than that.

## Why Music After All of That…

Although not a lot of people in my family are musicians, music has always been a part of my family. My great grandmother had a piano in her house, Mariah Carey would be blasting on house cleaning days, I carried a CD player / MP3 player with me everywhere, car rides were filled with chopped and screwed mixtapes, and so on. I even have a cousin who has reached successful heights in music. So at 14, I began producing music after playing percussive instruments and piano growing up. I went to college for music prior to the army while still running track. I joined the army after getting hurt too many times running and needed to secure a career that I knew would be stable no matter what. So while in the army, I kind of stopped making music all together for about 5 out of the 7 years I was in. August 2nd of 2019, I had a lung collapse which resulted in lung surgery and part of the reason I was medically retired from the military in December of 2021. The time I had off after the surgery began with me starting a podcast called “Diary of a Nobody” and led me back to making and releasing music. Since then, music has been my full time job.

## Why Web3…

In short, it just makes sense. I had Bitcoin back when it was used for game currency and the Silk Road – IYKYK – then sold it later around 2k and invested in some crypto that did not go well. As I was in the military, I was buying ETH with every paycheck and then kept going as I went on. At one point, I had 125 ETH in a few wallets then blew through it in savings needs and NFTs during covid. I later learned about Music NFTs which then changed the entire game for me and showed me the ways I could go about pushing new ways of building a career without a middle man. All that to say, I am in Web3 because I grew up from Dial Up to now, and it only makes sense to move into an Internet that is the next one. Owning everything you do instead of hoping you will have what you buy later is such a great thing to be in possession of.

## Now Why Do I Create…

In order to know why I create – especially here in Web3 – you need to know my background. I was a very outgoing kid until the domestic violence and such that had happened to my mom and family. After that I had become shy and reserved and did not trust many people, and because of that, I focused on writing lyrics and poems along with listening to music in my own space. All of that led me to making music of my own and because of the up bringing I had, I was exposed to many different genres of music which made it hard for me to pick just one to dive into. That is why I am a genre-less producer / artist. I take inspiration from beyond my past since I believe I have experienced about 4 different lives in one so far.

## My Creation Process…

I now have created a daily system for myself, realizing that in order to make something a job, you have to build it out like a job. 8am-12pm everyday is when I do the most deep work possible – with some slots for food, free time, meditation, gym, and more creation time. So even if i cant think of something creative, it gives me time to rearrange things, make templates for new songs, and so much more. Since decision fatigue is a real thing, if you set yourself up with the least amount of decisions you have to make, you will allow yourself to be able to create and use your brain more. So although I employ a structured time when I create, it’s not structured once I am in the zone. I have methods of doing drums first and then work on a melody with an under laying of a bass line. After all of that, I will go through and do arrangement – followed by just critiques of it until I hit my finish or shelf time (which just means when I send out for collabs) which is usually 6 hours. Once that is over, I usually put bounce in them and will listen to all songs made in a week on a Sunday in my car and pick which ones from there to either work on further to finish or change. If I scrap any, I use the time that would be spent finishing / changing to create new work. Rinse and repeat.

Who is Frankie Styles...

What's up, fellow web3 enthusiasts? If you're reading this, chances are you're either a fan of Dinesh from Silicon Valley or you're curious about the decentralized world. Either way, you're in the right place.

Let's start with a brief Introduction, I'm Vedant, a web3 content creator with a passion for all things decentralized. And, like most developers out there, I have a bit of a coffee addiction. But hey, who can blame us? We need to stay fueled up to keep up with the fast-paced world of web3. Like many of you, I've also been overwhelmed by the complexity and jargon of the web3 space. That's why I've made it my mission to write articles that make web3 accessible to everyone, even my mom (who still thinks crypto is a fad).

In this post, I'll take you on a journey through my web3 adventure and, of course, I'll sprinkle in some Dinesh-style humor and wit along the way. So, buckle up and get ready for a wild ride.

***

## The Spark 💥

It all started at an early age, just a boy fascinated by the inner workings of tech and computers (I even broke one trying to understand how it works, 😅). But the real spark that ignited my interest in web3 came when I stumbled upon a little TV series called Silicon Valley. Now, if you haven't seen it, you're missing out on some serious techy geek humor. But what really caught my attention was the storyline of a group of misfits trying to create a decentralized internet. All that technical jargon thrown out and the innovation and hype for this new technology got me wondering, "Is this even going to work in the real world?" And that was the moment I started to look into the internet and see how far we've come.

![My Persona Dinesh from Silicon Valley TV Series](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1683294241625/8b30042d-c370-4820-b05f-f721a677c053.jpeg?auto=compress,format\&format=webp)

I mean, let's be real here. We've all been there, right? Watching a TV show or a movie and suddenly getting inspired to pursue a new passion or career path. But for me, it was more than just a passing interest. The more I learned, the more I realized that web3 was not just a buzzword, but a real movement that could change the world. And so, I dove headfirst into the web3 space, eager to learn and contribute to this exciting new world.

***

## The Creative Process: Building My Role in Web3 ✏️

Ah, the creative process. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it? But let me tell you, it's not always rainbows and unicorns. When I first started in the web3 space, the main hype was around tokens like BTC and monkey jpegs selling for millions of dollars. The DeFi space was booming, and the path to a decentralized internet was not yet paved. But I saw an opportunity to contribute to the space by writing technical articles that help developers overcome the FOMO effect. I love to write, and I wanted to make web3 accessible to everyone, not just the tech-savvy. So, I dove headfirst into the web3 space, eager to learn and create content that would make a difference.

But let me tell you, it was not easy. Late-night coding sessions, coffee-fueled ideas, and endless research just to get a basic understanding of the space. I remember one moment when I was fixing a bug, and I didn't have anyone to talk to about it because the space was so new, and everyone was still trying to understand it. It was like being lost in a maze with no map.

And then, there were the dark moments. The moments where I questioned myself, "Is it worth it to provide so much time to this?" But I kept on keeping hope in the community and creating content. Just like Dinesh, I can be competitive, and that trait kept me going in the space. And now, here I am, a web3 content creator, writing articles that make web3 accessible to everyone.

## The Front Seat Perspective 🎢

Being in the front seat of this space has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. We all have experiences that we remember, and for me, it's the support and vibe of keep going that this space has given me. The most important thing in any domain is community support, and let me tell you, web3 has the best support out there. It's like being part of a big, crazy family, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Over the past year, I've had a lot of great experiences in the web3 space. From winning IRL hackathons to getting awarded bounties, it's been a wild ride. And let's be real, who doesn't love swag? But the thing I'm most grateful for is the friends I've made along the way. I love meeting new people from different backgrounds and just talking to them. It's like being part of a global community of like-minded individuals who are all working towards a common goal. And let me tell you, the conversations can get pretty interesting. From debating the merits of different blockchain protocols to discussing the latest NFT craze, there's never a dull moment in the web3 space.

![Hackathon at IIT Guwahati](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1683294793033/22169f6e-6e29-436b-96f6-5c3402cb7309.jpeg?auto=compress,format\&format=webp)

I've been part of some amazing communities like Developer DAO, and it's been a mind-blowing experience interacting with it. Making friends in web3 and collaborating on innovative projects or just having late-night movie sessions has been a highlight of my journey. It's like having a group of friends who are all passionate about the same things you are, and that's a pretty amazing feeling.

But let's not forget the funny parts, there have been plenty of moments in the web3 space where we've had to laugh at ourselves. From the early days of trying to explain what a blockchain is to our parents to the latest meme craze, the web3 space has never been short on humor. And that's what makes it so great.

***

## To Infinity and Beyond 🚀

The future is looking bright. The web3 space is constantly evolving, and we're seeing innovations every day. From putting an antenna above a volcano to get alerts via blockchain to creating decentralized social media platforms, the possibilities are endless. We've come a long way, but there's still a long path ahead of us.

As for my plans, they're not fixed to any constraints. But one thing's for sure, I want to contribute to this space and bring more people into it. Let's be real, there's nothing more satisfying than when someone asks me how to start in web3 or expresses interest in learning more about it.

Creating engaging and easy-to-follow articles to guide people will be a priority for me. Not everyone comes from a dev background, and some just want to see how blockchain can help bring their brand forward to a wider audience. And that's where we come in, my friends. We can help make web3 accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or experience.

But let me tell you, if you want to start in this space, you better be ready. It's not for the faint of heart. The first step is to just start, and the rest you'll learn from the community. From the helpful Discord channels to the supportive Twitter threads, there's always someone willing to lend a hand.

Looking back on my web3 journey, I can't help but laugh at some of the ridiculous things I've done. From staying up all night to participate in a token sale to obsessively checking my wallet balance, I've had my fair share of moments. But you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way. So, let's go to infinity and beyond. Let's continue to innovate, create, and support each other. I'm grateful for everything I've experienced along the way, the ups, the downs, the dark moments, and the joyful winnings.

And if you want to start or just have a chat, let's connect on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Envoy_1084).

The Dinesh Effect - My Web3 Journey

TypeError

We are excited to announce some changes to our weekly Fan Club raffle system that are designed to protect the interests of our long-time community members and Link3 users. Before delving into the details of the new system, we would like to take a moment to address our community.

Since the launch of the CyberConnect Fan Club, our goal has been to reward our dedicated community members and long-term supporters. Unfortunately, we have consistently encountered Sybil attacks that have led to an unfair distribution of the reward pool.

For instance, address 0x82…43a4 has funded gas fees to over 1,700 addresses in early April, allowing each address to easily purchase seven raffle tickets every week. Without intervention, this Sybil account could have amassed over 11,000 tickets and won 5,000 mini-shards from the raffle every week.

As a solution, we will now divide the reward pool into a Main Pool and a Side Pool, and introduce a Credit Point system to differentiate human users from bots. Users with 24+ Credit Points will have access to the Main Pool and will be able to share the majority of the rewards.

We acknowledge that this is not a perfect solution, and we appreciate your patience and support as we work to implement additional changes to ensure a fair distribution of rewards. Furthermore, we welcome our community members to share their valuable insights and suggestions with us. Please feel free to reach out to us on [Discord](http://discord.gg/invite/cyberconnect) with any comments or suggestions you may have.

# **Calculation of Credit Point**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/b90b5e49-9e7f-48ae-850a-ce2664bfec4a/postImageFolder/3de54b04497b1b56)Your Credit Point is the sum of the following four factors:

- Link3 profile completion (total 1.67) 
-Added avatar, display name, basic info +1.67
- Gitcoin passport passing score (total 100)
- Paid CyberProfile (total 3.34) 
-CyberProfile length is less than or equal to 12 characters +1.67
-CyberProfile length is less than or equal to 6 characters +1.67
- Link3 event W3ST holding (total 6.68) 
-Hold 10 W3ST +1.67
-Hold 50 W3ST +1.67
-Hold 100 W3ST +1.67
-Hold 500 W3ST +1.67

If your total Credit Point is equal to or larger than 24, your raffle tickets will automatically join the Main Pool. Otherwise, your raffle tickets will join the Side Pool.

# **Main Pool & Side Pool Rewards**

For Week 9’s raffle, the Main Pool will have 70% of the total rewards, while the Side Pool will have the rest 30%.

Specifically,

**Main Pool:**

35 mystery box

17,500 mini shards

**Side Pool**

15 mystery box

7,500 mini shards

# **Instructions**

1. Step 1: Go to Gitcoin Passport and get your passing score.
2. Step 2: Click the refresh button after signing on Gitcoin to reveal credit points
3. Step 3: Upgrade Gitcoin stamps to reach 24+ points and join the weekly raffle to get main pool tickets.

During the weekly raffle, we'll evaluate your credit points and allocate your tickets to either the main pool or the side pool based on whether you have more or less than 24 points.

You will see a “main pool” tag if your tickets are counted in the Main Pool.

After raffle participation, we will take a snapshot and reassess each participant's credit points to finalize the allocation of the main pool and side pool tickets. This process will help us identify and filter out users who may be exploiting multiple social identities for Sybil.

**Important Notes:**

- **Do NOT unlink your social media accounts on Gitcoin Passport.** We will take a snapshot of credit points during the raffle to re-evaluate them at that specific moment. You will be entered into the side pool if your credit point is lower than 24.

Sybil New Rules Announcement 

As long as I know myself, I write something. I used to write a book about the adventures of a dog and a detective girl when I was younger.

Years passed, yet my impulse to write remained. I have a lot of stories and scenarios saved on my laptop and notes that I keep in the corner of my house. I created these because I wanted to share my imagination with others in some way. There are so many thoughts running through my head that I can’t relax unless they come out.

For years, I couldn’t find the courage to send them to publishing houses. I was always frightened of getting turned down.

Unfortunately, I never dared to do so.

I felt I’d have the courage to publish my last short story in the past couple of weeks. Then I thought why not post this in #NFT format?

My intention here is to both motivate myself and show that stories may get popularity in the NFT world.

In my perspective, NFT and authorship make an excellent combination. I’m hoping that in the future, we’ll see more established marketplaces devoted solely to this topic. I published my story in Turkish. But I also have many English stories waiting to be published.

My story was for sale on OpenSea, and you can find the link here:

Life as a web3 content writer found me, and I am glad it did. My name is Iyanuoluwa Okunade and I am passionate about content creation. Content creation to me is to bring others to a new knowledge in a way they can relate to. I believe in the simple and effective approach, where readers get what they are looking for and what they did not know they should be looking for.

I graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University as a degree holder in Chemistry, but I love writing. I once wrote a piece about a fiction story in my 200 level and the first person I showed it to wondered why I was not in the faculty of Art. I loved science and technology, I like reading journals and excerpts, especially the well-written ones. It is no surprise that I now create content on web3.

The journey started in 2017 when I was introduced to Steemit, it was a social media on web3. Users can post anything they want as long as the right tags are used, and writers earn when posts are voted on by others based on their voting power. I started slowly, then I understood decentralization and the Immutability features firsthand.

I spent time researching about the blockchain as a whole, especially the opportunity there for me. I had just finished university and needed a job, creating content has been very helpful to me since then. The opportunity to create content for a blockchain project came in 2020 from a project named ChangeNow, I made tweets and was paid for it.

Contents from then have been going on and I have grown as a writer. The goal for me is to write in a simple way for others to understand, I try as much as possible to stay away from complex words and explain if I have to. I am proud of my growth so far and I know I can do much better.

My next challenge is to work as a content creator for a blockchain project, and I am working towards that. I am grateful for web3 because I might not have been writing a great deal, and my creativity might not have been this sharp.

Cheers to better days ahead!

We love to see web3 and technology veterans build new things that highlight and harness the power of decentralized social for the good of humanity and the internet. In two recent videos, CoinDesk [interviewed](https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/04/05/inventor-of-ethereums-erc-20-token-standard-plans-new-blockchain-lukso-for-creative-types/) the inventor and “Godfather of the ERC-20” token standard, Fabian Vogelsteller, who is launching LUKSO, a new layer 1 blockchain aimed at the creator economy that will prioritize verified user-owned identities (”Universal Profiles”) and dynamic token standards for social connections. In a separate [video](https://www.coindesk.com/video/mewe-ceo-on-the-future-of-privacy-focused-social-networks/), CoinDesk interviewed another tech veteran, MeWe CEO Jeffrey Edell, who talked about the future of privacy-focused social networks in web3 — and why they’re crucial. Essential viewing.
