In this special pilot episode of the Art Chains podcast, host Amir is joined by Tezos community leader Ion and a roundtable of creators to dive deep into authentic branding, community building, and what it really means to be an artist in Web3. A heartfelt space on staying true to yourself—on and off the blockchain.
In this pilot episode of the Art Chains podcast, Amir returns to Twitter Spaces with a powerful community discussion centered around personal branding, artist survival, and building connections in the Web3 world. Featuring special guest Ion, a key community figure in the Tezos ecosystem, the episode explores how artists can better market themselves without losing their identity or authenticity.
The conversation ranges from practical advice—like navigating Twitter algorithms and community immersion—to deeper questions about whether artists are becoming “products” and how to resist dehumanization while trying to make a living. Guest speakers including Para, Poyo, Reto, and others share personal experiences, advice for newcomers, and reflections on how to thrive long-term without burning out.
Whether you're a Web3 native or just stepping into the scene, this episode offers an honest look at the human side of digital art, the power of community, and why authenticity might just be the most powerful marketing tool of all.
