This entry is part of the series: Mirror Entries Analysis. Each week, Post3 utilizes data extraction and data analysis techniques to deliver insightful reports with information concerning authors, articles, revenue, chains, keywords, and more, derived from exploring Mirror data.

For Week 6, we tackle the following questions:

• Who are the authors from whom people have collected the most?

• Which entries were the most collected?

• Which authors generated the most revenue?

• Which entries generated the most revenue?

• What was the networks/chains usage?

• Who caught our attention this week?

⚠️ Note: The number of collections/mints of some entries might have changed at the time I’m writing.

Let's begin to analyse 3986 posts collected from Week 6.

1 - Who are the authors/publications from whom people have collected the most?

The number of times an article has been collected/minted serves as a valuable metric to understand an author's popularity on Mirror. The “Author“ is the publication/newsletter, some authors such as protocols and ecosystems have several contributors that write to their publications. Let’s take a look at the top 10 whose work has attracted more collectors.

GameSwift, a modular gaming blockchain, won first place, with more than 480 mints, while generating significant revenue. Base and Mode L2 solutions followed the lead, and Layer3 got 4th place. otto at 5th place, is new on Mirror and aims at funding public goods through lotteries.

Below is the list of the authors/publications with the most collections on Week 6:

1. GameSwift

2. Base

3. Mode

4. Layer3

5. otto

6. TapiocaDAO

7. ZKFair

8. Eclipse

9. Pike

10. Linea Ecosystem

⚠️ Note: Some of the links above, are from the contributors to the publication.

2 - Which entries were the most collected?

Some authors publish several times in a weekly period, which grants them more collections than others. But we need to take a look at entries individually, to see which ones perform better. These are the top 10 entries:

1. Goerli to Sepolia: Base Goerli Sunset

2. Mode Receives 250,000 PYTH Tokens From Pyth Network Retrospective Airdrop

3. New GS Product Is Ready! Soft Launch of the GS Store!

4. Unleash The Power Of GS-Force AI! Maximize Your GPU Potential with our Newest Launcher.

7. Introducing TAP

8. ZKFair Community: A Letter to Everyone

9. Solana & Ethereum Transaction Fee Mechanisms: Proposals to Improve Solana’s TFM

10. Pike receives PYTH allocation!

An entry concerning a testnet update on Base dominates the chart. In 2nd place, a piece about Mode receiving 250,000 PYTH tokens from an Airdrop. If you’re hunting rewards, Layer3 has an article for you about collecting CUBEs. Pike also presents a piece concerning PYTH tokens airdrop.

3 - Which authors/publications generated the most revenue?

Revenue serves as an indicator of one's ability to attract and retain people to mint their content. Here we’ll take a look at the top 10 authors that generated the most revenue from minted entries, and how it correlates with collections.

Just like in week 5, Bera Inscription 🐻⛓🐰 got the most revenue, generating more than 1000 USD. TapiocaDAO and GameSwift also generated significant revenue with their articles, both above the 600 USD threshold at the time I’m writing. Concerning solo writers we see Thumbs Up and Officer's Blog in the top list.

Below is the list of authors/publications with the most revenue:

1. Bera Inscription 🐻⛓🐰

2. TapiocaDAO

3. GameSwift

4. Base

5. Mode

6. Layer3

7. Thumbs Up

8. otto

9. Officer's Blog

10. ZKFair

⚠️ Note: Some of the links above, are from the contributors to the publication/newsletter.

4 - Which entries generated the most revenue?

Just like in collections, revenue must be studied individually. People might be loyal to their favourite authors, but in the end, they will mint what they really like or find useful. Studying entries individually is important for writers to understand what kind of content people are willing to mint, and at what price. Below, are the top 10 entries with the most revenue:

1. The Rabbit Cult, Blessing of web3, wen "Beradrop"

2. Introducing TAP

3. New GS Product Is Ready! Soft Launch of the GS Store!

4. Goerli to Sepolia: Base Goerli Sunset

5. Mode Receives 250,000 PYTH Tokens From Pyth Network Retrospective Airdrop

6. Unleash The Power Of GS-Force AI! Maximize Your GPU Potential with our Newest Launcher.

7. Thumbs' Uploads: Ascension

8. Collect CUBEs, Claim Rewards

9. LottoPGF: Incentivised Public Goods Funding for degens🤝regens.

10. Due Diligence & Web3

5 - What was the networks/chains usage?

Understanding the usage of L2 chains for minting NFT articles, is key for writers to decide which network should they use. The following pie chart only compares the usage, other metrics should be taken into account, such as the type of articles that are being published in each chain and so on.

Optimism dominates with 90.9 % of network usage, followed by Polygon (new on Mirror) with 4.7 % and Zora with 3.4 %. Finally Base with 0.9 % and Linea with 0.2 %.
