By allowing ideas to be developed through cooperation, The Constellation aims to produce balanced content where diverse voices can shine.

Letter from the Editor

As a content creator for more than three years, I have been writing about web3 topics across multiple social media platforms such as LinkedIn and Twitter.

When evaluating existing web2 and web3 publishing models, I realized most catered primarily to influencers with massive followings, making discovery challenging for niche voices. While beneficial for top talent, this leaves many writers like myself without meaningful opportunities.

Traditional media is dominated by a few large corporations, and web2 social media giants have become the gatekeepers of digital content. As a result, many content creators have limited monetization options, and their work is often overshadowed by influencers with large followings.

It became clear a new kind of media space was needed – one designed to empower emerging web3 contributors through a community-driven model: The Constellation, a contributor network where creators can publish content within a collaborative community.

This inspired my vision for True Stars – a place where creators connect authentically, shape culture collaboratively through governance, and fairly share in the values they help build. By leveraging web3 models, we aim to reward risk-taking creativity and fuel new waves of thought.
