Product Updates

We continue to roll out new and exciting blocks and features to empower creators further. This week’s most noteworthy updates include a new layout for the Mint Block, a drag-to-reorder option for the image gallery block, and the new Laylo Embed. So what are they?

  • Laylo Embed: We partnered with Laylo to bring all their features to Bonfire. Creators can now easily collect RSVPs and send out drop day notifications for any of their Bonfire drops (e.g. livestreams, merch drops, new pages/posts, etc.), and fans can now subscribe to receive these notifications on their phones via SMS messaging.

  • Mint Block’s New Layout: Introducing more customization and greater capabilities to our flagship Mint Block. From design choices like having the button on the left or the right, to making it a more robust standalone feature.

  • Image Gallery - Drag to Reorder: We’ve now introduced the ability to drag and reorder your images in a more friendly and intuitive way. Images got a boost by introducing gallery, drag-n-reordering seemed like a must. Looking forward to seeing your galleries, send us a message.

Coming up next

Rolling up in beta we have power updates and features you might have already seen 👀. A brand new dashboard menu, creator analytics, and a new page block; and we’re just getting started.

You can always check our roadmap for the most up-to-date information.

Creator Spotlight

This week Heybela released PA’ ESTO NACÍ, this song is not only her genesis drop on Sound.xyz but also her first Hip-Hop song to hit the web3 space. Great week of firsts indeed.

This is what she had to say:

“This is my first Hip Hop song in the space, I had to save it for Sound XYZ. I'm serious when I say I want to make a historic album for rap in Spanish. This song is just the appetizer of all the fire that I'm going to give you, and I wrote it in a small room in my house, inspired by the Californian vibe and my life experiences.”

It is now sold out on her site heybelamusic.com powered by Bonfire, but you can get on secondary here.

Tip of The Week

Do you experience brain fog, lack of clarity, or difficulty finding focus? If that’s the case, go out for a 15-minute walk. Studies demonstrate that walking for just 15 minutes stimulates blood flow and oxygenates your brain, resulting in improved focus, energy, mood, and creativity (Yes, that’s why you’re super creative and flowing with ideas when walking).

Your Turn

Do you have any web3 goals we can help make happen? No matter how big or small, shoot me an email or DM us on Twitter about it. And check our Roadmap to submit and vote on your favorite features.
