Connie Digital’s metaverse gallery in Cryptovoxels was one of the first ones I saw by an artist that made me feel awe. I could tell he was a pioneer of NFTs, music, and web3 creative expression and I even got some of his social tokens, Hue back then. Connie Digital was featured in my Top5NFT show on Twitter in 2020: https://twitter.com/stellabelle/status/1319317851942027265 In Connie Digital’s own words about HUE, his social token: “Created in August 2019, HUE is one of oldest social tokens and is responsible for helping launch the social token category. It's also the first social token used to trade NFTs. HUE was originally created to show appreciation as a 'thank you' for community support. Similar to a loyalty point, supporters can earn HUE for being a loyal newsletter subscriber.” Connie Digital: “My journey in crypto started back in 2013 when I first learned about Bitcoin and the potential of blockchain technology. Since then, I've dedicated time contributing to the growth of Web3 as a writer, as a marketer, and currently as an artist pushing the boundaries of tech and creative expression.” Learn more about Connie Digital on his website: https://danky.art/ “$HUE is one of oldest social tokens and is responsible for helping launch the social token category. The first use of HUE was a drop inside of Cryptovoxels. I invited folks to come jump in-world and claim HUE. The first utility was to redeem for a shoutout on a dedicated billboard inside Connie's virtual studio. For the first year, Connie focused on new ways of distributing HUE. Drops inside Cryptovoxels, his newsletter and even a chatbot that people could engage with and claim HUE at the end. Eventually Connie landed on using HUE as a curation incentive and to allow individuals to purchase his NFTs. "I had created 5 or 6 different pieces of art and used my platform to let people vote on their favourite ones, so I could gauge interest. People who voted got some tokens for contributing." He had struggled to price his NFT’s, uncertain of what was right or how collectors might react, so he decided to allow people to purchase his NFTs with HUE. "I listed one NFT for 10k HUE on Opensea. It was the first NFT purchased using social tokens. Skeenee was the buyer”.
