This issue it seems that summer has arrived onchain. Not only are several Web3 organisations promoting an onchain summer, but we also see fewer poems being minted onchain. I think the onchain poets are filling up on inspiration, which is wonderful. Taking a break, some distance, is necessary and healthy. Still, there's a lovely selection of poems below. Enjoy, and don't forget to like what you love, share what you recommend and collect what you can.
Cryptopoet of the Month
The Cryptopoetry community celebrates a new poet every month, a week long in Twitter threads. This month, the Cryptopoet of the Month is Futuradora, a poet who mints her work predominately on the CHIA blockchain, and will be on stage at MET AMS this autumn. She has started minting her poetry onchain, because she deemed it inevitable. Well, we agree!
Check out the full interview in threads on the Cryptopoetry Twitter account.
Become a Maeceneatic Legend
You can now become a big supporter of onchain poetry, by subscribing to the new paid membership program. By doing so, you will enable me to spend even more time making onchain poetry easier to discover. As we are in full development, so is the membership scheme. We have a first tier now, with one benefit other than being an amazing poetry supporter. You can pay by fiat, for now, but Paragraph is rolling out onchain features in the near future. This will also mean that I will probably add tiers later, but certainly, the list of benefits will grow. Become a paid member, a Maeceneatic Legend, here:

The Onchain Poetry Digest aims to make the discovery of onchain poetry easier. Please share it far and wide, so as many potential collectors as possible find the beautiful pieces of art we create.
This is a labour of love. I try to keep up as much as I can, but I can't see everything. Don't be angry if your NFT is not here, just ping me for the next one, and I'll include it. You can do that via BlueSky, Farcaster, Lens, Twitter or the Cryptopoetry Discord.
