Not only is Simon De La Rouviere the founder of Untitled Frontier, which explores the intersection of storytelling and web3, but he is also an early Ethereum developer who worked on creating the ERC-20 token standard. He’s also a science fiction writer and author of “The Hoperunners of Gridlock” which you can check out in the links below.
We dive into the intersection of web3 and the creator economy, and Simon shares his thoughts on the ways in which web3 technology can empower creators to more directly interact with their fans. We touch on Li Jin’s theory of the 100 true fans, and Simon describes what he would like the future creator economy to look like.
We discuss CC0, and the ways in which web3 is changing IP models for the benefit of creators. We also talk about creator royalties and how they should be utilized correctly. Simon shares his first hand experience as a creator when he wrote “Hoperunners of Gridlock” and we compare web2 and web3 creator monetization models. Simon shares his thoughts on the current narrative of web3 and highlights what he thinks web3 marketers should focus on.
We get the inside scoop on Simon’s latest project, Untitled Frontier, which is a platform for fiction writers to sell NFTs related to their stories, and something SImon is so passionate about that even if he had all the money in the world and never had to work another day in his life, he would still be dedicating his time to it.
