Mirror.xyz Acquired by Paragraph.com: What’s Next?

Have you heard the news that’s buzzing in the Web3 community? Mirror.xyz, a well-known platform for Web3 creators, has been acquired by Paragraph.com, another major player in the same space.

Will Mirror Disappear?

Some users might worry: “Does this mean Mirror will be gone?” Don’t worry. Mirror itself isn’t vanishing. The service will continue, but now it will be operated by Paragraph. That means the features you’re used to-like publishing NFT articles and using crowdfunding tools-will remain available, just under new management. Your articles and projects on Mirror should still be accessible and usable as before.

What Happens to the Mirror Team?

So, what about the Mirror development team? They’re shifting their focus to a new project called “Kiosk.” Kiosk is a new kind of social network built on Farcaster, a decentralized Web3-native social protocol. It’s being described as a Twitter-like platform for the Web3 era, blending social media with blockchain and e-commerce features. For now, details about how Kiosk might integrate with existing Farcaster-based apps like Warpcast remain limited, but it’s clear the team is aiming to create a new kind of social experience using NFTs and tokens.

What’s Next for Paragraph and Mirror?

Currently, Mirror and Paragraph will continue to operate as separate services. However, there are plans to eventually merge their features and user bases into a single, more powerful Web3 publishing platform. This could mean even better tools and opportunities for creators on both platforms in the future.

What Should Users Do?

If you’re a Mirror user, you can keep publishing NFT articles and running crowdfunding campaigns as usual. The main change is that Paragraph will now be managing the platform, so future updates and new features will come from them. I’ve created a Paragraph account too, in case of future integrations or changes. Whether the platforms merge or remain independent, users will be able to continue their creative work without disruption.

Summary

• Mirror.xyz has been acquired by Paragraph.com, but the service will continue.
• The Mirror team is now focusing on developing the new “Kiosk” social platform.
• Mirror and Paragraph are expected to eventually merge into a unified Web3 publishing suite.
• Users can keep using Mirror as before-there’s no need to panic.

The Web3 world moves fast, and this acquisition could lead to exciting changes in publishing and social platforms. Stay tuned to see how things evolve!

That’s all for today.
