How to Break Through the Noise: Get More Views, Engagement & Reach

This is a recording from "The Secrets to Content Discoverability and Virality" panel that was hosted at Onchain Creator Summit, presented by CryptoSapiens with support from Unlock Protocol, Own The Doge, The Creators during ETHDenver 2025 This panel brings leaders from the web3 space to provide insight for creators looking provide visibility and engagement for their content using Web3 tools. Speakers include: - Russ: CVO, Proof of Vibes - Naomi Metzger: Professional Athlete - Smoke: CEO, Own the Doge - Chris Eberle: CEO, SparkHouse The discussion focused on virality onchain, content creation, and the power of decentralized platforms in building creator-driven communities. Key Takeaways: Creating Viral Content Onchain— - Make content that is worth collecting, treating collectors as early supporters of a creator’s journey. Memes, Virality, and Community Activation— - Memes must be viral to remain relevant and that community-driven storytelling fuels their longevity. Lessons from Traditional Social Media— - Virality principles haven't changed—authenticity, consistency, and audience engagement remain key. - The difference now is creator-owned audiences in Web3, reducing platform dependency and increasing content portability. Cross-Promotion & Audience Engagement— - Adapt content per platform: - Farcaster → personal & community-driven - Instagram → personality-focused - Engage by replying to comments; make the audience feel valued. Collaboration & Growth Strategies— - Engage in deep networking and partnerships to drive virality. - Community-driven amplification (e.g., Farcaster, Base, Clanker) helps creators scale organically. Advice for New Creators— - Don’t fear cringe. Virality often comes from persistence. - Web2 creators are in demand—brands need content, so reaching out can open opportunities. - Consistency isn’t just about posting daily—it's about maintaining a recognizable style and personality. Underrated Niches in Onchain Content— - Comedy is underrepresented but could be a strong onboarding tool. - Innovative storytelling formats (e.g., meme-driven narratives) have untapped potential. Final Thoughts— - Keep building. Even if engagement is low initially, one person can change everything. - Own your content, own your audience. Web3 enables true creative independence. The panel ended with a call to action: embrace Web3, experiment, and collaborate to push the boundaries of onchain creativity.

Not another hamster wheel, please

On this week's episode of the MARS, Matthew & Rizzle try to keep things positive. The adversarial PvP vibes on the timeline feel heavier than normal. Attacking folks who are legitimate builders and known to be good actors benefits no one, and only causes unneeded damage. Folks need to stop immediately assuming malice and instead be more open to nuance. Instead, we'd all be better served if we highlight winners who continue to build out and add value to the space in positive ways. Matthew & Rizzle use the recent slate of updates and releases made by Jeff Davis & Snowfro and the whole ArtBlocks team as two key examples: The Generative Art Fund and a buttery smooth new Grids viewer for AB Curated collections respectively (see link below). After that, Matthew & Rizzle take a devil's advocate view of the approach Opensea is taking on the long and winding road to the long-awaited Opensea 2.0 launch that culminates in Rizzle lamenting how OpenSea may have missed out on becoming the Ripple of NFT Land haha. Discussion around the interesting announcement posted on X yesterday about the Doodle change of leadership (see below for link) and a comparison of pfp projects that have won and are still going strong atop unforced narratives (e.g. Punks, Fly Frogs) vs other pfp projects where leadership or a portion of the community try to force a narrative wind out this week's episode. - Link to Grids on ArtBlocks: https://www.artblocks.io/marketplace/experiments/grids - Link to Doodles new CEO announcement: https://x.com/burnttoast/status/1884288787955531844 Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @toxsam @anloremi @SuperRare @decentraland @hyperfy_io @AshConnell @dankvr @conniedigital @artonblockchain @jeffgdavis @artblocks_io @Shazoo_xyz @squiggleDAO @voxvienne @iam_metamike @opensea @dfinzer @magiceden @shape_l2 @doodles @yugalabs @poopie @burnttoast @jholguin @montyreport @cryptopunksnfts @walmart @pudgypenguins @mcdonalds @flyfrogsnft @metabrookhawk @ronin_network @axieinfinity
