Paragraph is a web3 powered newsletter aiming to turn subscribers into members.
Why Paragraph?
Ownership for creators: Decrypt and Messari are both publications that had 100k followers and were deplatformed. Creators are recognizing the importance of truly owning the relationships with their community.
New models for engagement: Giving NFTs or ERC20s to your audience through content can not only grant access (i.e. token gated model) but also align incentives. For example, x% of proceeds can be distributed out to members who mint a specific NFT.
Permisionless extensibility & composability: All Substack newsletters, Medium publications, etc. look identical. No APIs, no way to export comments, minimal customization, etc. Contrast this to content stored on Arweave & subscriptions represented as NFTs: full composability & extensibility by default.
