S2 E14 | Enabling True Creative Ownership Through NFTs w/Richerd

On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Richerd, Co-Founder of Manifold. Manifold enables web3 creators to have true creative ownership, preserve on-chain provenance, and interoperate with all major NFT marketplaces. We kick off the episode getting to know Richerd and having him take us through his web3 journey. He explains how Manifold came to be and we discuss what exactly makes an NFT valuable. Richard gives us his best tips for combatting crypto scams and emphasizes the importance of knowing what you sign before you sign it on-chain. Richard gives us a deep dive into smart contracts and explains how Manifold helps creators deploy their own. We discuss the future of content ownership, content monetization, platforms, and platform monetization. We talk about Manifold, Manifold’s business model, and the lack of  limitations while using manifold. To close out our conversation, we  chat about anon culture, its pros and cons, and how you can build trust anonymously. Lastly, we look to the future of NFTs and the  use cases we hope to see in the next 5 - 10 years. To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.
