Hello there, and welcome to the 14th edition of Base Directory's newsletter.
Every weekday, I'll send you a concise email highlighting everything you need to know about an onchain product built on Base, including my thoughts on it and how you can get started using it.
Today's spotlight is on Time.fun, a product that allows you to tokenize your time.
How Time.Fun Works:
A simple way to describe Time.fun is as a product that allows you to put a price tag on how much your time is worth. For example, Nikita Bier is one of the most in-demand consumer growth thinkers in tech, having successfully scaled and sold two viral social media products, one to Meta and the other to Discord.
As a result, there is no shortage of people who want to schedule 1:1 calls to pick his brain on how to successfully embed virality into their products.
With Time.fun, Nikita puts a price tag on how much a minute of his time is worth, and people interested in having a call with him can buy a certain amount of his minutes. These minutes can then be redeemed for a meeting or for message responses from him.
You can think of Time.fun as an onchain-native way to schedule calls and get the attention of people you would like to have a conversation with or consult.
There's also a purely trading angle with Time.fun, where you buy minutes of someone's time as an asset if you think it'll increase in value and sell when it does.
Time.fun allows you to explore profiles via categories, so if you are looking for insights from founders, developers, or influencers, you can buy their time and redeem it for a meeting.
To create a profile, you need to verify at least one of your social media accounts. Upon doing so, you'll get a wallet address to use for trading, and you'll earn ETH when people trade your time or redeem it.
Time.fun certainly feels fun and is easy to navigate for crypto natives. Driving utility outside of trading is an interesting approach, and I think that improves its appeal and potential to be the default platform for people in the space open to consulting and sharing their insights.
You can keep up with updates from the Time.fun team via their X (fka Twitter) profile and check out the product here.
Will be our biggest announcement yet, being announced this Thursday, August 29.
