This episode is different than the rest.Mint Season 4 was epic.We now reach over 20,000 web3 creators, founders, and investors per month across audio, video, blog, and newsletter, to name a few.

Yet, as publishing time increased and trends evolved, so did my guest list.I ended up publishing 34 episodes with leading figures in the web3 creator economy and music movement featuring everyone from the founders of Catalog, Mint Songs, and Royal, to the top collectors and music creators defining this decentralized revolution.To close out season 4, I wanted to take a moment to compile some thoughts, favorite takeaways, and summaries from a few key episodes.Check out the written version: https://mirror.xyz/levy.eth/JUO3isycKrrU57lP_bdr5un3dIhgzb9LhNWdXY1u4jk---------------------------------------------------------------------------Sign up for Adam Levy's newsletterhttps://levychain.substack.com---------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow Adam Levy on social media:Twitter:https://twitter.com/levychainInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/levychainLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/levy-adamWebsite:https://adamlevy.io

Unlocking The Power of Dynamic NFTs with Ben Lakoff
Mint Season 4 episode 27 welcomes Ben Lakoff, co-founder of Charged Particles, which is new protocol that lets you put digital assets inside your NFTs. Now, ordinary NFTs (think neutral molecules) can contain a digital "charge" inside — ERC20, ERC721 or ERC1155 — giving you the unprecedented power to create nested NFTs.In this episode, we discuss how creators can tap into the variety of use cases presented by dynamic NFTs and their upcoming NFT drop, Particlon.I hope you enjoy our conversation.Ben Lakoff: https://twitter.com/benlakoffMore on Particlon: https://www.particlon.xyz/Charged Particles: https://www.charged.fi/Learn more by visiting: https://adamlevy.io/mint---------------------------------------------------------------------------Claim your FREE Listener Badge NFT proving you listened to this episodehttps://adamlevy.io/poap-season-4---------------------------------------------------------------------------Support Season 4's NFT sponsors1.
