The Power of Web3 Collectives
The Most Important Product Update Uncut Has Ever Made.
As we end Thanksgiving season, we want to say thank you to our amazing community of users, investors, readers and supporters 🙏. Your product feedback and ideas energize us every day. To show our gratitude, we're delivering an important product update today.
Introducing web3 Collectives
There are plenty of platforms and tools to create audiences (YouTube, TikTok, etc.) and manage communities (Discord, Slack, etc.). But what if you want to create your own economy with your community? What if you want to allow your fans not only discover or chat about your work but also contribute to your creative process and get rewarded for it?
This is where web3 Collectives comes in!
The latest version of Uncut now supports that crucial step, which is when your community (a group of people with something in common) becomes a collective (a group of people with aligned interests).
Collectives are a new way to pool resources and money, and build a decentralized and transparent economy with your community. They can be used to launch or support anything from a new business venture to a social cause.
And we have you and other Uncut users to thank for this. Indeed, your feedback directly motivated us to create this much-needed version of Uncut. (Keep the feedback coming here in the comments or via our Discord!)
What’s new and how it works?
A revamped UI/UX with your brand and community at the center.
You can launch your collective with your own URL in just a few clicks directly from our website.
We have completely redesigned the UI/UX to give you more space and put your brand at the center. For example, you can add a background image to your page and the entire interface automatically adapts to your colors and identity.
Your Uncut page is not just a “store” to sell your latest NFTs. It’s your collective home base organized around four tabs:
Home
Collective
Feed
Transactions
Mint your NFTs for free
We need to move away from the traditional one-way process in which creators create content and the audience simply consumes it.
With Uncut, you can mint all your digital assets on the Polygon Blockchain under your own smart contract for free. You can offer special benefits to your token holders and share the revenue of each sales among different beneficiaries including members of your collective.
With NFTs, your community can directly contribute to and benefit from your work. They can buy, hold, or even trade your NFTs on Opensea.
This is the power of web3.
Time to celebrate contributors, not followers...
The problem with communities is that they are all just chatter. No real engagement, just a lot of talking. This is fine if all you want is to build a following, but if you want your community to thrive, you need more than attention, you need INTENTION.
Attention is when your audience takes notice of you.
Intention is when your audience is willing to take action for you —Adam Ryan
The new “Collective” tab highlights all of the ways your community is contributing to your creative projects, thus transforming your community into a collective.
This is unique because—to be blunt—nobody else is doing this!
It shows who is really taking action, what’s their level of financial contribution, participation (karma) and what NFTs do they own all in one place.
Take back control of your communication
You can also use Uncut to communicate directly with your collective members. No need to send your community to Discord or Slack anymore, you have a tokenized feed incorporated directly into your page.
And since you automatically get the emails of your collective members, you can send your posts directly to their inbox in one click (exactly like I am doing with this post).
Give full transparency over your collective economy
If you want to build a successful web3 collective, trust and transparency are essential.
That's why we built a simple and intuitive interface that allows anyone to understand all the transactions within your collective. No need to decipher PolygonScan anymore...
The information displayed here is quite revolutionary - it makes your economy completely transparent and it aims to provide collective-control over transactions and ownership.
We want you to build your economy not ours!
It’s time to build an economy that benefits everyone, not just the traditional platforms and a few lucky creators. With Uncut, you can co-create and better align interests with the people who know you, love you and support you.
On your terms. Forever.
With the new version of Uncut, you can have a much more profound impact and use NFTs to share ownership and create awesome stuff along with your community.
You and your collective keep 95% of all transactions. We keep only 5% to maintain the platform and continue developing amazing features with you.
What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts on our Discord. Or Tweet at us via @hellouncut (if Elon hasn’t burned Twitter to the ground by the time you read this).
