Dear Kosmos community,
Welcome to the second edition of Kosmos Recap — your best way to get quickly caught up to speed on Kosmos’ progress!
We’ll give you a few glimpses behind the scenes along with a recap and previews of what’s to come — while keeping it refreshingly concise and to the point :)
What’s in this edition:
- Highlights of the past month
- Development updates
- Community recap
- What’s next
- How to get involved
Highlights of the past month
September was heavy on the building and brainstorming side — finalizing the product plan, creating new backend systems, discussing collaboration ideas with new partners, etc.
Nathan (Kosmos COO) and I were in Singapore for the Token 2049 event and connected with advisors, partners, investors, and more. You can see the quick recap here.
We had some incredible banter in spaces with partners to discuss the evolution of storytelling — recordings are linked below:
- With The Kingdom
- With BeAI
Development
The big news on this front is that we now have interactive prototypes, giving everyone the first real glimpse of what Kosmos will look and feel like (be sure to track the “previews and product” channel in our Discord for some sneak peaks and discussion on the interface as it develops). We also have a separate internal whiteboard extensively detailing every feature and field that will be in the MVP, and those that we want to include long-term but won’t be in the first iteration. This is huge as it gives us massive clarity on how exactly the product will work, visuals for discussions with partners and investors, and more accurate timelines and budgets.
Community
Weekly Outlaw Gatherings have continued to drive creative conversation and fun every Thursday at 5:30 EST. Shout outs to Jfuji, Hazel, and Greg for sharing your stories and skills! Each week we’ve awarded Kosmos Credits — which will be able to be used to unlock paid content on the Kosmos platform once it launches, as our in-app payment system.
Stay tuned in our discord for an imminent announcement on a whole new system for tracking and rewarding community engagement — will be a lot more opportunities in the near future!
What’s next
Behind the scenes we are focused on continuing development and funding.
But the biggest shift this next month will be focusing more on: you!
Yes you, we want your feedback on the product, your stories, your ideas, your energy. And we want you to be able to easily see in one place how to participate and contribute in the ways that are best for you, while being recognized and rewarded. More will be shared on this shortly!
How to get involved
There are a few simple things you can do to support Kosmos during this stage:
1. Attend Outlaw Gatherings and twitter/X spaces — they’re fun, help everyone stay informed, and form tighter community bonds!
2. Make introductions to partners that may be a good fit for collaboration or investment.
3. Keep developing you own stories, and share progress/get community feedback in the Kosmos server so we can help you get them in ship shape in time to publish when we launch! Ultimately, your stories are the most important part of this whole ecosystem — what it’s all about. 💜
Conclusion
We’re incredibly grateful for each an every one of you. Thank you for being part of this mission to reimagine storytelling — as we make the user experience more rich, engaging, and memorable than ever before, while giving creators full control over their work and fan relationships.
If you have questions or thoughts don’t ever hesitate to reach out — just respond to this email, or find me on any other platform. 🤝
All the best,
Stephen
