Welcome to Patrick Rivera’s newsletter

My name is Patrick Rivera and I’m a product engineer at Mirror, a web3 publishing tool.

Every few weeks I’ll be publishing an essay on web3 consumer products, crypto protocols, DAOs, or share lessons from building in crypto / web3 over the past few years.

Here are a few of my most popular essays:

• Come for the Creator, Stay for the Economy

• Community DAOs

• Designing Internet-Native Economies: A Guide to Crypto Tokens (A16Z Future)

• Tips for Creators Getting Into Crypto

• Crypto-native Newsletter Businesses

And here are a few presentations and podcasts I’ve done:

• A Presentation on Crypto Fundamentals and NFTs

• How Crypto Projects Like Loot are Rewriting the Playbook for Building Communities (Means of Creation podcast)

• The Next Crypto Cycle - Web3, DAOs, and NFTs (The Deep End podcast by On Deck)

• Lifecycle of Web3 Communities (On the Other Side podcast by Chase Chapman with accompanying slides here)

Over the next few months, I plan to write about:

• Blockchain fundamentals

• DAO tooling

• L2s

• Product development in web3

• Protocol deep dives

• Products vs. Protocols

• Tokenomics

• Governance
