Weekly News
The Roundtable Recap
Last Thursday, we held our first ever Gamma Roundtable event where we got together with the Stacks community (and more than 30 creators!) to discuss artist collaborations, answer questions about community building, and learn about how we can optimize our roadmap to meet the needs of artists.
In the call, we talked about what we're working on to better support artists and how we plan on moving forward the next few quarters. Our community manager Brett demoed creating an editions contract on the Gamma create portal, with 'proof of attendance' token NFTs that we airdropped to participants.
Additionally, we showcased the new 'manage' feature for creators and their projects, and ended with focused discussions in breakout rooms.
Many more exciting new features are currently in development! 👀 For those who didn't get to attend, let us know your feature requests and feedback by responding to this email.
Special shoutout to Dr. $uss for joining us and speaking to our wonderful community creators. You're an inspiration to us all! To learn more about Dr. $uss and check out his work, follow him on Gamma and Twitter.
Last chance to submit: Proof of Work Collection
The Proof of Work community airdrop collection will be closing soon — be sure to fill out the survey by tomorrow, August 31st, if you want to be included!
