What happened to Thirdweb, a Web3 developer that Mirror is also using, which raised nearly $30 million?

Thirdweb announced free casting of the Thirdweb genesis NFT on the Mirror on March 17, with casting available until 24pm tonight. Mirror's new Subscribe to Mint feature is based on Thirdweb tools.

Thirdweb is designed to provide developers with a full-stack Web3 development kit that allows developers to build, launch, and manage their own Web3 projects without having to write any code, reducing significant development time and costs.

Thirdweb previously raised a $5 million seed round from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Gary Vaynerchuk, as well as a $160 million valuation from Haun Ventures, Shrug VC raised $24 million from Coinbase Ventures, Shopify, Protocol Labs, Polygon, Shrug VC, Kleiner Perkins Partners and others.

Thirdweb, which provides pre-built smart contracts and SDKS for developers to create a variety of products, has been getting a lot of attention thanks to Shopify's investment and access. In the past six months, Thirdweb has made significant progress. Before we discuss the progress of Thirdweb, let's talk about how Mirror's new features Subscribe to Mint leverage Thirdweb's technology.

Which teams have adopted Thirdweb?

Mirror

Mirror's new Subscribe to Mint feature aims to help creators create an engaged Web3 community by helping them convert their identity as subscribers into holders in a new way. Mirror wants to take a bottom-up approach to building communities around creators' ideas. "Mint to Subscribe" is the next iteration of this goal, and by subscribing and will focus on the web3 wallet, publishers can make meaningful social and economic connections between their communities and projects.

Whether Mirror's move can change the economic dilemma of creators, BlockBeats in"Mirror Genesis NFT casting ends tonight, Subscribe to Mint can change the economic dilemma of Web3 creators?This trip is discussed in detail in the article. So how did Mirror develop Subscribe to Mint with Thirdweb's signature casting? Let's look at the process:

1、钱包 A 为 token 生成一个签名（指定名称、图像、描述、属性和铸师地址）。

2、钱包 B 可以使用由钱包 A 提供的签名来铸造 NFT。

3. The publisher then grants the signature of a particular wallet to mint tokens with the attributes specified in its contract. Signature-based casting ultimately allows an administrator wallet to generate signatures that allow other users to coin tokens on the smart contract.

Shopify

Let's take a look at how integrated Thirdweb is now with Shopify after six months of development. By leveraging Shopify's webhooks, Thirdweb sets up a Node.js server, so users can use Shopify and Thirdweb to sell digital assets as NFT, Other purchasers are able to enter their wallet address into custom fields for Shopify products and purchase NFT using legal tender. Merchants using Thirdweb to distribute NFT through Shopify need approval from Shopify to sell NFT.

Thirdweb has also built an application that allows users who hold NFTS in a particular collection of NFTS to generate discount codes for Shopify stores. Users can connect their wallets there and log into their wallets using Auth. The server side of the application checks to see if they own the NFT, and if they do, generates a discount code for the Shopify store that can add utility to the NFT and reward the holder.

In addition, Thirdweb is now able to offer tokenized commerce experiences on Shopify storefronts, interacting with customers and the NFT community in an engaging and novel way, and brands can discover new opportunities to partner with other retail brands and blockchain projects.

Build a universal web3 framework

As the provider of the full stack Web3 development kit, Officials say they have licensed more than 70,000 developers to deploy about 200,000 contracts on Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Solana, Optimism, Arbitrum, Fantom and other chains using Thirdweb, The total number of projects created is about 500. Thirdweb does not charge any fees or commissions, but takes a 5 per cent royalty on secondary sales of digital assets such as NFT built on the platform.

In addition to enabling users to sell their NFT on Shopify, provide discount codes to holders, and provide tokenized services, Thirdweb can now be used with any smart contract on any EVM-compatible blockchain, making it the first chain-independent web3 framework. All Ethereum developer ecosystems have access to Thirdweb's tools.

Compatibility with more contracts

Specifically, Thirdweb's dashboard can be used with a smart contract no matter when or how it is deployed. Even without a Thirdweb deployment, any web3 developer can now plug their smart contract directly into the dashboard and interact with smart contracts and web3 applications using Thirdweb's best-in-class SDK for the most popular languages.

Thirdweb's full stack web3 development kit, which includes: SDK for React, JavaScript, Unity, Python, and Go, a decentralized storage service that allows developers to upload and pin files to IPFS, plug-and-play UI components for front-end applications, an intuitive dashboard, By managing all of a developer's contracts in one place, Thirdweb can now be used out of the box with any EVM compatible chain -- from just seven blockchains to more than 700 chains today.

Compatible with more public chains

Thirdweb currently supports more than 700 chains, up from 7, to unlock tools for developers across all EVM-compatible blockchains. All supported chains are shown in Thirdweb's Chainlist:

In the Thirdweb Chainlist, users can find any EVM-compatible blockchain, including mainnet and Testnet, as well as RPC, block browser, Faucet and other resources. In the Thirdweb dashboard, users can also easily search any network and add it to their wallet network. This includes the ability to customize EVM chains with only the chain ID and an RPC URL.

We've noticed that since Mirror's new Subscribe to Mint feature went live, a number of notable parties have released free casts of NFT subscriptions on it, including Zerion, Safe, optimism, and more. By subscrito Mint, the community will be notified of future project updates in the first place, follow the progress of the project, and promote a closer relationship between the community and the project. A lot of people think that Mirror subscribes to Mint and repositions itself as a platform for B-side users. Maybe Mirror wants to change not the economic dilemma of creators, but the relationship between big projects and the community.

At the same time, the market for projects like Thirdweb, which provides developers with a full-stack Web3 development kit, will continue to grow. In the three months from June to September last year, Thirdweb generated $7.5 million in revenue without any fees or commissions. Only 5% royalties are taken from secondary sales of digital assets such as NFT built on the platform. As the number of web3 developers continues to grow, Thirdweb provides a steady stream of tools to expand the NFT brand through Shopify and attract more attention from web2. Perhaps Thirdweb can also contribute to the broken circle of NFT culture.
