I’ve always liked the idea of creators being able to get rewarded directly instead of relying on ads or sponsorships. I’m not much of a writer myself, but I dabble in video editing, and I’ve often wondered what it would be like to actually get paid by the people who enjoy the content, without a platform taking the bulk of it.
That’s why Alt.town ($TOWN) stood out to me when I came across it. Instead of just another token floating around, it’s designed to tie fans and creators together through digital assets and even a marketplace where fan support can be tracked and ranked. To me, that’s an interesting shift because it gives creators a way to turn their influence into something tangible, while fans get to feel like they’re part of the journey rather than just spectators.
Bitget listing $TOWN was a small but meaningful signal, because it shows that these kinds of projects are starting to move beyond just “niche experiments.” Still, I’m curious if this model can actually scale or if it’ll just stay as an interesting side note in the wider crypto story.
Have you seen any Web3 projects in the creator economy that you think really stand a chance of becoming sustainable? Or do you think this will remain more hype than reality?
