“Cast a wide net, then reel everything back in and reduce what you have. You could start out with a ton of ideas, but you need to practice the reduction of those ideas. Pinpoint three ideas that you want to focus on, whether it’s creative or business, and focus on these so that you can execute the project. Learn, and continue to learn, and you will grow from there. Most importantly, you need to find a balance between business and creativity. You have to marry the two. You are going to thank yourself in the long run.”
One creator pioneering in the space both technically & artistically is @xcelencia. Read our interview to learn about this latest album, "El Niño Estrella" and ways in which he's bringing his fans along for the ride.

Introducing ZORA on Bonfire!
We’ve joined forces with Zora, a prolific place for artists to transform artworks, songs, videos, and other forms of media into NFT collections, to provide a seamless, branded minting experience to all creators.
What Does Zora on Bonfire Mean for You?
-
Support for Zora Protocol Across Multiple Chains: Whether you are on Ethereum L1, Optimism, Base, or Zora Network, you can now import your Zora collections to create customized minting experiences on your Bonfire site.
-
Support for Zora Network: As a reminder, last month we enabled support for Zora’s layer 2 ‘Zora Network’. So you can now enjoy all our features like token gating, collector lists, and minting from Zora contracts, all on the Zora Network.
To commemorate the launch of this integration, we're excited to drop our 'Borb' aka Bonfire Zorb, a free week-long open edition.
Join the party and claim your Zorb at bonfire.page/zora-on-bonfire
Unlock insights from your collector base with our updated dashboard 🔥
Web3 allows for a dynamic relationship between creators & their communities. Our new feature aims to strengthen this relationship. Get a comprehensive view of your collector base and engage more effectively.
Importing a contract on Bonfire now provides more info about your collectors, spanning across all contracts. We've revamped our Community tab to include an all-encompassing table that combines views of all collectors, and an enhanced member profile tab. You’ll be able to view their:
- PFP
- Username (ENS/wallet address)
- Rank
- No. of tokens held
- ‘Since {date}’ (based on the earliest date collected)
- ‘Last Collected {date}’ based on the most recent date collected
- Email (if they are a subscriber—use the Subscribe block!)
Moreover, our Collectors Block is now turbocharged with an option to show all your collectors across contracts. And the cherry on top? The introduction of a leaderboard displaying your top collectors across ALL your collections.
