Owen Wilson! The chance of a lifetime! Salon metaXmoda!
Ha, ok, that’s a serious exaggeration/outright lie.
But I am launching something new, and I’d love to grow metaXmoda’s most interested subscribers into another tier of conversation around where consumer marketing and/or Web3 fashion is going.
As such! I have just launched the metaXmoda Salon token. This membership token is valid for one year and is currently free as I test what this membership looks like in the wild.
Does this make you nervous or think, hell no I am not a crypto person? Never fear, this is a totally painless way to test out Web3. I promise!
Thanks to my friends at Unlock, who have created a smart contract that allows for subscription models, I’ll be testing out a new layer of access to the metaXmoda ideas.
Having recently watched Midnight in Paris and, much like Owen Wilson, been very jealous of the salons hosted and attended by cultural luminaries of the day, I thought, why can’t I have that for Web3 marketers and those curious about it?
If you mint this token, you’ll be part of this journey with me. What does a professional group look like in Web3? What’s the most useful way to facilitate ideas and connection? The token will function as an entry key, as I token-gate different experiences. Possibly there will be a Telegram channel, ideally to some IRL dinners in London/New York/Paris/SF, who knows what.
So if you’re interested in testing this journey with me, (and FYI, you don’t need a crypto wallet! But if you want help setting one up, holler at me!)

What’s a subscription NFT?
I’ll let Unlock explain this much better than I ever could.

What is a token?
Crypto tokens are digital assets that are built on another cryptocurrency's blockchain.
What is Unlock?
Unlock is an open-source, Ethereum-based protocol designed to streamline membership benefits for online communities.
How long will it take?
3 minutes, tops!
What’s a custodial wallet?
Custodial wallets are wallet services offered by a centralized business such as a cryptocurrency exchange. Custodial wallets have certain benefits, such as less user responsibility regarding private key management. When a user outsources wallet custody to a business, they are essentially outsourcing their private keys to that institution. The individual user is not responsible for protecting the private key to the wallet and therefore places trust in the business keeping the private key safe.
When a user wishes to send coins out of a custodial wallet, they simply log in to the platform with a username and password, input the public key of the location to where they wish to send coins, and the business is responsible for inputting the private key to complete the transaction.
Why is it free?
Web3 marketing is really in an experimentation phase, and I want to make this as painless as possible for you. I know there are hurdles to using cryptocurrency, so starting with a free option removes at least one barrier to entry.
Will you charge in the future?
If this becomes an awesome experience, maybe. Maybe not.
What do I get for being a member of this salon?
I will definitely host one or two dinners in LA/SF/NYC/Paris/London where there can be meaningful discussion, idea sharing, and fun interactions. Possibly I’ll add an audio component to my substack for members, so you can get all the joy of my thoughts while running on the treadmill or walking your dog. Beyond that, the sky’s the limit.
Is Owen Wilson a member of your Salon? I don’t get it?
Because signing up could be pseudonymous, I can’t be sure he’s not. But you will submit your email, and I’ll admit, owenwilson@gmail.com is not currently in the Salon. But I’m sure the other members will be equally as scintillating, if not more so, depending on how you feel about Mr. Wilson.
