Summer Builders NFT collection: post-mortem

June 8, 2024

log entry 8: Summer Builders NFT post-mortem

distribution challenges:

  • our launch date coincided with peak Onchain Summer activity
  • neither me nor Simon have high Social Capital on Farcaster, yet...

supply strategy:

  • high NFT supply (1000 mints, we had less than 100...) was overambitious

community engagement:

  • some OGs loved the collection enough to actively share, some others just thought it was funny
  • if we did more research work and better storytelling, they'd probably feel more engaged

aesthetics:

  • could have played better with aesthetics and used colors more aligned with Base

influencers:

  • involving some Farcaster celebrities would have helped "farm" more attention

next steps:

  • focus on building personal social capital on Farcaster
  • apply these learnings to future projects
