For Episode 223, we continue our celebration of Octant Epoch 9 with part 2 of our Storytelling on Ethereum series where we explore how creators, educators, and storytellers are helping to define Ethereum’s narrative and build the foundation for a new, decentralized creator economy.

In part 1 we explored how storytelling brings Ethereum’s human side to life. Today, in Part 2, we’ll go a step further, diving into how creators are using Ethereum to reimagine ownership, funding, and creative freedom in the digital age.

Joining me for this episode are three incredible creators who are each contributing to Ethereum’s story in their own unique way:

• 🎙️ Natalie Crue, creator of Fork’d, an interactive global docuseries that brings Ethereum’s culture and communities to life, showing the human stories behind the “world computer.”
• 🎙️ Ivie Satijn, co-lead of a landmark report on real-world asset tokenization that’s bringing institutions closer to Ethereum through collaboration with the actual creators of the ERC standards shaping the future of RWAs.‍
• 🎙️ Riley, founder of Kimiya Mag, a long-form storytelling and research project exploring how Ethereum helps us rediscover meaning, purpose, and connection, both onchain and in our everyday lives.

Each of these projects shines a light on Ethereum as more than just a protocol, it’s a living, breathing ecosystem of ideas, values, and creators working together to shape a more equitable digital future.

You’ll learn:

• ✨ Why creativity and coordination are the true superpowers driving Ethereum’s next chapter.
• 🌍 How creators are redefining the Web3 creator economy with blockchain powered community building and incentive mechanisms
• 🤝 How Octant is helping creators and educators build sustainable, community-backed careers in Ethereum.
• 💫 And what the next wave of onchain creators are building to make Ethereum more human, accessible, and inspiring.

Key Takeaways

🧰 New Tools, New Possibilities: Web3 gives creators a powerful new toolkit including mechanisms like tokenized engagement, memefied fundraising, and quadratic funding, unlocking new ways to build, monetize, and connect directly with their communities.

🌍 Ethereum Localism: The future of Ethereum is global and local. By empowering creators to onboard and organize their own communities, we can build replicable, scalable models for impact that grow from the ground up.

🌱 Sustainability Through Innovation: Being a creator is never easy; but new mechanisms like Octant’s public goods funding model are helping creators thrive long-term, providing transparent, community-driven paths to sustainability.
