Come join us in the Web3 Hub of New York City, located in the heart of the Financial District at Station3, for the OnChain Summer series. This intimate community gathering is organized by OMBRUJA, the creator of Crypto Brujas and the ONE HUB, in partnership with NFT NYC. Founded by Carolina Coto, the host of the meet-up, the event highlights Base Builders, welcomes new participants, and connects opportunities to continue building, onboard and grow.
Base is a secure, low-cost, developer-friendly Ethereum L2 built on Optimism’s open-source OP Stack, designed to bring the next billion users on-chain.
This event is located in the Web3 HUB of NYC, Station3, home to companies such as Azuki, artists like Justin Aversano, and the host company OMBRUJA.
Featuring "The Future of Media is OnChain," with Matt Medved, co-founder of Now Media, which will power Sovereignty®, proprietary web3 CMS, on Base.
“To remain credible, digital publishers need a strategy to introduce authenticated media and verify that their content is genuine." MATT MEDVED
Misinformation and fake news currently cost the global economy $78 billion per year. The development of powerful generative AI tools has contributed to a troubling rise in misinformation that threatens democratic and journalistic institutions, especially entering a U.S. election year. The World Economic Forum’s 2024 global risk report recently revealed that AI-derived misinformation and disinformation are the largest risks ahead of the election year.
Sovereignty® was made to meet this pivotal moment for digital media leaders, who want to incorporate new technology into their newsrooms, to safeguard their content from bad actors, looking to manipulate their content.
Now Media chose Base due to its safe, low-cost, and developer-friendly ecosystem built on the Optimism (OP) Stack in collaboration with the Optimism Foundation. By integrating with the Coinbase ecosystem’s millions of verified users, Now Media will be positioned to onboard the world’s leading digital publishers to authenticated media through its trusted platform.
Now Media is the first media company to tokenize their content in this way and through this deployment with Base, they will expand to authenticate media for industry-leading publications to combat misinformation. Currently being used to authenticate media on nft now, Sovereignty® will launch in 2024.
We will have an open-participatory format for community inclusion, Q&A's and community sharing.
Sign up to this event is required, space is limited so please RSVP ASAP. This event will be photographed.
