What is Mirror?

As a decentralized content creation platform, Mirror is one of the most important content centers in Web 3.0. By combining fan economy, NFT, and DAO, Mirror has applied blockchain technology to the creator economy in an unexpected but reasonable way. Created by Denis Nazarov, a former partner of a16z, Mirror is a decentralized content creation platform that allows users to freely write, publish, and disseminate any content on it. However, the platform does not have the authority to review and modify the content. Moreover, Mirror tokenizes user-created content which can be self-published on the platform, truly achieving decentralized writing. Mirror has gained remarkable attention in the crypto space since its launch in October 2021. It is also the best example of Web 3.0 in the creator economy. Though established late, Mirror is quickening its pace to catch up with established platforms such as Twitter and Telegram to become one of the most key content centers in Web 3.0. ## Basic functions of Mirror ###
