Look no further than Mirror, a blockchain application that runs on the Ethereum layer 2 platform Optimism.

With Mirror, your articles are stored on the Arweave blockchain, ensuring that they cannot be censored or removed by anyone, including Mirror itself. Only you have the ability to update the content of your articles. This is in contrast to platforms like Medium and YouTube, which can remove and even ban your work.

To get started with Mirror, you will need an Ethereum wallet. We recommend using MetaMask. Once you have installed your wallet, visit the Mirror dashboard at https://mirror.xyz/dashboard. From there, you can connect your wallet, enter your name and bio, and optionally link your Twitter and ENS name.

If you have already published articles on other platforms, you can import them to Mirror by pressing the “Import” button and entering the article’s link. Formatting your article’s content works similarly to Medium, and once you are satisfied with your writing, you can publish it to Mirror.

When publishing, you can set the price and total supply of your article. After you have confirmed your settings, sign and publish your article through MetaMask. Your first article NFT (non-fungible token) has now been published on Mirror!

With Mirror, you can take control of your writing and ensure that your content remains accessible and uncensored. Give it a try and start publishing your articles today!
