Twitter (aka X) is one of the main platforms to discover and engage with web3 content. Other social networks are joining the field such as Lens and Warpcast, a Farcaster client.

Throughout history, the need to store information has been crucial, both for individuals and organizations. Traditionally, paper documents and photographs were kept in physical folders and secured at home. The invention of computers revolutionized storage, transitioning from floppy disks to CDs, USBs, hard drives, and finally, solid-state drives.

Web3 publishing platforms such as Mirror and Paragraph, solve some of the issues presented in the web2 counterparts. Platforms like Medium or Substack, can’t guarantee permanency for the articles, and they don’t solve the ownership issue.

Each article is a JSON file registered forever with the author’s wallet name, which serves as a digital proof of ownership. Once submitted, articles can also be sold as writing NFTs, and people can buy them for several purposes.
