Trust in News and Journalism is at an All-time Low.

ImmutableType is building a community of journalists and audience members to fix that problem.

By collaborating on editorial priorities and funding works by established journalists, community members may directly access the information they need to create powerful local initiatives.

Onchain publishing is the incredible innovation which unlocks value for journalist and audience member. Never before has direct funding and published works been aligned to create value for all parties. ImmutableType is building this future today.

Alpha Season Membership

The road to realize this vision has begun.

We are excited to offer early fans the ability to support this mission with an annual membership of $1.49 USD.

Alpha Season pre-launched May 21, 2024. We are capping total memberships to the 5,000 earliest accounts, so don't delay on becoming a member now.

Your early account ID will secure status as membership grows, and this is your opportunity to secure the lowest possible member ID.

Onchain Publishing for Journalists

  • Tokenizing Articles

    By publishing articles and photography to the blockchain, the artifacts are tokenized as provable and uneditable. The work becomes an asset owned by the journalist, not the publisher.

    Never lose another byline when a publisher closes its doors. Your work will always be accessible onchain once published.

  • Community Funding

    Newsrooms are being defunded worldwide and journalists are losing their livelihoods at a moments notice. We are building the mechanisms for the audience to directly fund great journalism. Local newsrooms will emerge as a collaboration of community priorities between readers and writers.

  • Trusted Identities

    The critical media problem today is lack of trust by citizens and audiences. The key to solving this problem is verifiable identities, immutable artifacts, and freedom from platform interference.

    ImmutableType decentralizes technology and influence, so uncensored stories may reach the audiences that need them most.

Onchain Publishing for Audiences

  • Fund

    Local communities want news and journalism relevant to their interests. ImmutableType allows audience members to fund their own local journalists directly & onchain.

  • Collect & Own

    No more clipping newspapers and bookmarking important stories. Members will be able to 'own' the journalism that appeals to them most. Simply 'collect' the tokenized work and hold it forever.

  • Sell Digital Collections

    Just like our favorite collectables, digital collectables may be sold to another collector. Great photo journalism of a local game or historic photo may live forever on the blockchain. Selling a digital collectable is a new way to share a rare artifact with your community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is behind ImmutableType

Damon Peters founded ImmutableType in 2021 as a response to the emergence of generative AI and media misinformation.

He is a 30-year technology leader with focus on marketplaces and auction mechanisms. He is a 2x CMO and a former executive with Overstock.com. His most recent roles were as an executive of revenue and tokenimics for a web3 startup in Miami.

What is the roadmap?

The roadmap is aspirational but achievable for 2024:

  1. Complete Venture Miami incubator, June 20, 2024
  2. Enhance "minting app" to support textual artifacts ("articles")
  3. Mint out 5,000 Alpha Season Memberships
  4. Establish three journalist partners for Alpha Season articles.
  5. Launch compliant native token for community utility
  6. Launch co-op memberships
  7. Secure pre-seed funding

How do journalists participate?

All interested journalists should become an Alpha Season Member for $1.49 as a first step toward participation.

We are seeking three (3) journalists to establish our first newsroom and are actively seeking collaborators. Reach out via the contact form with your interest.

Venture capital interest

There will come a time for venture capital, though uur funding today is directly from the community. The most important way for us to stay connected with interested parties is as an early Alpha Season Member. We're honored by our friends who support us from the industry.

Alpha Season Membership Info

This membership is about early support, and there are no earlier supporters than those who become members when there's little to see but a vacant lot with lines drawn on the ground to outline where the walls will stand one day.

That's where we are today. The most important thing we can offer you for your membership today is the earliest possible membership ID and a promise to be part of our community as we add value over time. All we can say is to take a leap and become a member. It'll be worth the journey.

Why only $1.49 annual fee?

The membership fee for Alpha Season is intentionally as low as possible to allow anyone the opportunity to be early with us.

There will be plenty of time to provide more services and higher tier prices as we grow. Being early, however, will be the most important consideration when those decisions are made in the future.

$1.49 is low to most, but it's not zero; and, the members willing to pay even $1.49 provide a signal that what we're doing actually means enough for our members to pay a small fee. It, also, puts some skin in the game for members, even if just a small amount. It still means something, and we appreciate your trust and interest to pay a bit to help us establish a baseline from which to grow.

How can I help?

We love that you've asked this question. The most important thing we can do at these earliest stages of ImmutableType is to help us spread the word.

Here are a few ways to spread the word:

  1. Become an Alpha Season Member
  2. Share this website with your family and friends. They will thank you for their low membership ID.
  3. Follow @damon_peters on X.com. This will be the primary account for Spaces.
  4. Subscribe to our emails to stay updated
  5. Mint some demonstration NFTs on our live ImmutableType.com offerings. These are fun and will be a good way to become familiar with web3 wallets and collecting.
