Weekly HUG #0029: Crypto winter gets colder

Let's face it: the hardest work is often the work that goes on unseen. 

While blockchain technology allows for previously unprecedented transparency between a creator and a consumer, that data is still only a fraction of the effort necessary to turn a creator's daydream into a consumer's product.

It doesn't account for the years one spends studying and perfecting a craft, the long phone calls and endless meetings, the late nights and early mornings, and all the money and time and emotion invested along the way.

At HUG, we get it because we've lived it. Creators are far more than a documented transaction where a royalty fee can be waived away on a whim. As creators ourselves, we're here to build a future where you are valued in your entirety and not just as a point of sale. Crypto winter may be getting colder, but our future together is still as bright as ever.

📻Hello, Angels

Our developers have officially integrated Meta Angels into the HUG ecosystem! If you're a Meta Angels holder, you can officially verify to join our Discord and explore the HUG discovery platform in full. Alpha? You'll want to start earning HUG Points on-platform, as much and as many as possible.

Curious to learn more about HUG? We've created a comprehensive githubgitHUG to help you dive into the details. Be sure to join us on this coming Tuesday, November 22, for a HUG x Meta Angels Town Hall on Zoom with Randi, Debbie, and Alex 🏛️

Who needs Shark Tank when there's Demo Day?

The October cohort of hedgeHUG, our pre-mint advisory program, has spent the past month studying up. Yesterday, we put them to the test with Demo Day, as these creators pitched their Web3 businesses live to a board of advisors.

Bust out the confetti, because we're commemorating our latest graduates with HUG's very first soulbound token, a non-fungible and non-transferrable credential, to forever showcase their success on the blockchain.
