gm, and welcome to issue #36 of ✨Spark✨ This week we’re looking for creators to help us test livestreams. Some awesome use cases that come to mind for this feature are streaming live concerts, games, casual hangouts, and workshops. But maybe you have something completely different in mind? Let’s make it happen! Respond to this email if you'd like to help us pilot the feature.

Bonfire Product Updates

Tokens Tab

Fresh off the back of rolling out our Creator CRM MVP, we’ve added a new Tokens tab to the dashboard to make it easier to import and manage your tokens in Bonfire. We’ve also migrated Token Gates into this new tab, so your tokens and token gates have a shared home for easy access. Much more coming to the Tokens tab soon 👀

Page Templates

Last but not least, we’re beyond excited to introduce Page Templates to Bonfire Studio! We’re unbelievably excited about templates as a way to unlock greater innovation in fewer clicks, and today we’re introducing the feature with our first 2 templates:

 1) Token-Gated Audio

 2) Store

Check them out, and let us know what you think (and what templates you’d like us to add)!

Creator Spotlight

We interviewed Mason Geyser on his learnings while working with the $ALLIE coin community, created by content creator and gamer, Allie Straza. Mason is the founder of Social Token Management, an agency focused on helping creators build and manage their social token strategies, and has been in the crypto space since early 2017.

He makes a strong case for the use of social tokens in digital communities, emphasizing the importance of understanding the multi-faceted value of these tokens, and how to properly integrate them within a community.

While speaking with us about the journey behind $ALLIE coin, he shares various learnings, three of which we have highlighted in this article.

Tip of the week

Since we’re diving into the $ALLIE community this week, might as well go a bit deeper. Allie’s a great example of how to use the Bonfire store. She’s selling subscriptions to her twitch channel, sponsorships, and even amazon gift cards. While anyone can buy an amazon gift card in fiat, this just gives her coin more utility, which only strengthens the microeconomy around her coin.
