Visualize your on-chain identity
Gm from sunny Spain. I'm on a two-part quest here.
Main quest: work harderSide quest: get sun
Real quick - a reminder that I'm running my first Twitter spaces.Set a reminder here
Anyhow, let's talk web3 businesssssss. Today's plan:
Use this framework to look into a business:(1) The company (/product)(2) The founding team(3) Funding and Hiring(4) Why the business excites me
Current events + business talk(5) Meme + NFT Market(6) Hustler's ambition
Disclaimer: None of this is sponsored, I choose what to write about. This is not financial advice either!
Today is dedicated to Philand.xyz
The company (/product)
Phi-Land is this cool social world platform that I've been following for 4 months at least.
You can claim a plot of land (for free) and personalize it. The items you are given are based on your on-chain activity which is pretty cool.
I wanted to write about their product since it aligns with my vision for web3adv.
Phi encourages users to interact with various web3 protocols, which provides a positive feedback loop to the entire Crypto ecosystem.
The whole ecosystem has two main components:👇Phi-Land and Phi-Quest
Phi-Land🏝️
Phi-Land is your land, your blank canvas (literally). Here's mine for now
Pretty boring huh?? I've not claimed my items cause I wanted to show you
So I log in with my acc and here are the items I can claim (based on my activity)
I got about 16 to claim but will only show you one.
Because I've swapped over 10 times on Uniswap, I can claim that for free.Well, mostly free - it's $0.03 (gas on Polygon).
And then you build out your land.
Maybe we get a collab going with them who knows? Free objects for the first 1000 subs on here? Would be cool
So how do you get all these items?? That brings me to point numero 2
Phi-Quest⚔️
^ The quests is how you earn objects (it works retrospectively too)
There are two types of quests:
1) Adventures - available forever
2) Campaigns - available for a limited time
So yeah, that's the basis of the product. Pretty fun imo
You can try this out on Polygon mainnet but you'd need matic. This website is a demo https://land.philand.xyz/playground.^ Won't need to even connect a wallet.
If you want to interact w/ the blockchain - you can test out Phi on Mumbai (Polygon testnet, that's where I tried it first).
^ If you do that, you'll also learn how to use a faucet and get free testnet money.
TLDR of Phi in a pic:
How can you make use of Phi? You could:
➙ Create a home base for your community➙ Collab with the Phi team to launch an on-chain campaign➙ Visualize your on-chain activity
The founding team
The team is pseudo-anon and I couldn't reach them in time or find much info.
Here are their twitters:
➙ Shugo: co-founder and CEO➙ Consome: co-founder and COO➙ ZaK3939.eth: co-founder and CTO

B) HiringCurrently, not. This is their hiring page if you want to keep tabz
Why this business excites me
Have you guys ever played Farmville?? This kind of reminds me of that.The flex, the community involvement, getting people more involved in web3 - I love it all. The art and overall branding are also pretty sick!
Cross-collabs with other communities can be a huge factor growth factor. And the product is pretty fun to use + free.
Favourite meme of the week
The man, the myth, the legend. Briaaaaaaan!

Hustler's Ambition

If you believe that too, specializing in SEO will be a great idea. I found a resource to get you started
