Abstract: Web3 Builders & IP - Recap @LegacyWeb3io Listened to the mega space with Abstract builders and creators: @bearish_af @FugzOfficial @astroversewtf @Cryptoys @DailaX @BlueTigerX_ @APCollectiveHub 👇 Who's building on Abstract? Bearish - one of the first projects on the network: • 2.4B GIF views on Giphy, 22M/day (3rd place after SpongeBob/Pudgy) • Teaching community to code, ran 3+ hackathons (10 ETH + $75k in prizes) • Launched Drip platform (Discord economy) for holder rewards • Partnerships with BNB/Binance on major hackathons Fugz - personality-driven IP: • 200M views on Giphy in 5 months • 60M+ on Instagram in 6-7 weeks (fastest-growing IP in Web3) • Commercial IP rights for holders, educational classes • Full "founder funnel" transparency of the building process Astroverse - IP + products: • $1M accelerator (first investments rolling out) • Astro Dash game (beta soon) • Astro GIF + Astroverse AI in development • Focus: "attention → conversion", not just hype Cryptoys - digital toys company: • Partnerships with Disney, Mattel, NASCAR • Idea from founder's 6-year-old daughter • Using Mickey Mouse/Star Wars to onboard Web2 • "NFT 2.0" narrative: fun/fandom/utility over speculation Key Themes: 1. Attention recession in Web3? • Abstract launched with massive hype, dominated CT, but activity dropped • Solution: build not just for Web3, but for mainstream via viral content • GIFs from Bearish/Fugz live in Web2 - people don't know it's crypto (and that's a win!) 2. How to win attention: • Passion + authenticity - people sense fake (Daila) • IP as a bridge: viral GIFs/memes open doors to Web2 • Community = prophets: Bearish teaches coding, Fugz gives IP rights, all reward activity 3. Incentives: the delicate balance • Web3 = financial space, incentives work ("show me incentive = show outcome") • BUT: hyper-financialization killed trust - "NFT = scam" in Web2 eyes • Solution: financial + non-financial (education, games, creativity, status) 4. NFT 2.0 (from CrypToys): • Not "buy NFT get rich", but "play with digital toys, own characters" • Disney/Star Wars = entry point for mass audience (first wallet without fear) • Change terminology: "digital toys/collectibles" instead of "NFT" 5. How to break through the noise: • Experiment, create trends (don't copy meta) • Attention ≠ Conversion: catching the feed isn't enough - need to retain with product • Sustainability > hype, small steps > giant promises Takeaways: ✳️Web3 isn't dying - focus is shifting (from PvP/exit liquidity to products and culture) ✳️IP + viral content = real bridge to Web2 ✳️Community is the main asset (empowerment > exploitation) ✳️Sustainability > hype, authenticity + transparency = loyalty Listen full Space 👇 xitter.cf/LegacyWeb3io/status/19…
