Reading vs. Collecting
Explore the difference between reading Chronicles and minting them as NFTs.
DaiChronicles.io welcomes both casual readers and active collectors. You don’t need a wallet or DAC to read the Chronicles — but if you want to shape the narrative, minting is your gateway.
📚 Reading as a Visitor
You can freely explore all recent Chronicles on the Chronicles page. Reading includes:
- Access to daily stories
- Filtering by political perspective or category
- Seeing current owner and perspective settings
No wallet? No problem. Read anonymously, anytime.
Chronicles are sorted in reverse chronological order for your convenience.
💠 Collecting as a Member
When you connect your wallet, you can:
- Mint Chronicles (via ChroniMarket or Draw)
- Change their political bias
- Influence DaiChronicler's worldview
- Build your NFT collection of digital journalism
Collectors also gain social and cultural clout within the ecosystem.
Why Collect?
Minting turns a passive reader into an active editor, community shaper, and decentralized co-publisher of history.
