Your Crypto Wallet, Finally Makes Sense
Want to bring this to life? NTE Zero to One’s got you.
The One Liner
Like Facebook Memories but for your blockchain life.
The 140 character tweet (or X) version
What if your wallet told a story? This tool makes your on-chain life feel human, turning raw transactions into memories, milestones, and meaning.
The Longer Story Version
The Problem
It shows you raw data, addresses, hashes, gas, but tells you nothing about you. No narrative. No context. No dopamine.
That first time you bought ETH? Buried in hex.
Your biggest NFT flip? Just another line in a sea of noise.
Even your rugpulls? Forgotten by everyone but your therapist.
It’s weird—blockchain is permanent, yet it feels forgettable.
We’re missing something. The human layer.
Right now, if you want to explore a wallet, you get a spreadsheet. But what if you got a story?
The Solution
Imagine a block explorer that speaks human.
You paste in your wallet and it gives you something more than "0x123… sent 0.5 ETH to 0x456…"
Instead, it shows you:
Your first ever transaction (cue nostalgia)
Your most-used dApps ("You're kind of a DeFi degen, huh?")
That NFT you paperhanded for a $12 loss (painful, but funny)
How your net worth moved over time, visualized beautifully
Even a "This Week in Your Wallet" digest if you want to track progress or brag
It’s like Timehop meets Etherscan.
Or a blockchain scrapbook you didn’t know you wanted.
How We’d Build It
Beginner MVP (solo builder / weekend hackathon)
Use Alchemy Enhanced APIs to pull transaction history
Feed data into OpenAI’s GPT-4o to generate summaries (“First trade on Uniswap!”, “Biggest ETH buy”, etc.)
Frontend: Framer or Typedream to ship a beautiful single-page explorer
Bonus: Add a “Share my wallet story” button to go viral
Intermediate Version (2–3 person team, side project to product)
Add wallet connection via WalletConnect for real-time data
Use Dune API or Covalent for enriched metadata (token names, dApps used)
Build wallet timelines with Remotion for cinematic animations
Let users subscribe to “On This Day” emails that highlight past transactions
GTM: Launch on X with wallet story threads from crypto influencers (“I forgot I minted Pudgy Penguins for 0.02 ETH 😭”)
Advanced Version (startup mode, full-time team)
Build an identity layer: let users name moments, tag friends, add notes
Integrate Lens/ENS for social discovery (“What did @vitalik.eth buy last week?”)
Monetization: freemium model + premium API for wallet analytics tools
Community GTM: allow power users to remix their own “wallet yearbooks” and share to Farcaster, X, or onchain feeds
Long-term: become the “onchain Glassdoor” or “LinkedIn for wallets”
Why It Needs to Exist
Because crypto is personal.
But we’ve built the ecosystem like it’s a machine. All pipes, no poetry.
This tool doesn’t just decode the blockchain, it translates it into your language. Memories, mistakes, milestones, magic.
It gives context to the chaos. Personality to your public key. And if we build it right?
It’ll be the first time people feel their on-chain identity.
4 Titans of the Creator Economy. One Stage. One Day.
You know their names. You’ve followed their success. But you’ve never seen them all in one place—until now.
On July 16th, four of the most influential minds in the creator space are coming together for a live, virtual event: The Creator Business Summit.
Shaan Puri. Codie Sanchez. Chris Koerner. Tyler Denk.
They’ve built newsletters, brands, and 7-figure companies. And they’re breaking down how they did it. For free. For you.
From audience growth to monetization to long-term brand strategy, this is your chance to learn directly from the best.
Whether it’s day 1 or you’ve been building for a while, this is the one event you can’t afford to miss.
You Started the Thing. Now What?
You had the itch.
You bought the domain. Maybe even mocked up a landing page or hacked together an MVP.
And it felt awesome.
You finally started. You’re ahead of 99% of people.
But now… you’re staring at it.
Tabs open. To-do list bloated. Messaging feels off.
You don’t know what to build next or how to get anyone to care.
That’s where NTE Zero to One steps in.
We help you clean it up, tighten the story, and build a real go-to-market plan.
What to say, who to target, what to launch next, and how.
You bring the messy momentum.
We’ll help you shape it into something real.
Let’s do this. Get started with NTE Zero To One for just $49.
(DAO robes, laser eyes, and one very confused Kevin O’Leary)
Cold open. Ethereum logo spins slowly. Cut to a stage surrounded by judges in NFT hoodies and multi-sig rings. Cue dramatic music.
Founder walks in confidently.
“WAGMI Sharks. I’m building a product that makes your wallet feel like your timeline.”
The judges blink. One nods. Mr. Wonderful squints.
“Right now, if you check your wallet on Etherscan or Solscan, it’s like reading your bank statement in Klingon. No context. No soul. Just a bunch of tx hashes that mean nothing unless you live on Crypto Twitter.”
“But what if instead, your wallet told your story?”
“Your first ETH buy. Your degen phase. Your top NFT flip. Your failed yield farm that still stings.”
“We pull it all together, automatically and make it beautiful, funny, and human. Like Timehop or Spotify Wrapped for your onchain life.”
Mark Cuban Type leans forward.
“Okay… finally someone’s humanizing the chain. I like it. Feels like a consumer moment we’re missing.”
Mr. Wonderful scoffs.
“You’re selling nostalgia. I don’t invest in memory lane. What’s the business model?”
Founder, smirking:
“Three revenue layers:
Premium tools for power users (like exporting their wallet story as a deck, résumé, or yearbook).
API for other apps to embed wallet timelines.
Anonymous benchmarking: ‘How does your onchain journey compare to the top 1% of wallets?’”
Web3 Maximalist Guest Judge interrupts.
“Can it run on Arbitrum?”
Founder:
“It already does. Plus Base, Optimism, and Solana because multichain is the vibe.”
Mr. Wonderful, arms crossed:
“But who needs this?”
“I’ll tell you: anyone who’s ever tried to explain crypto to a friend and got roasted. Anyone who’s forgotten what they did in 2021. Anyone who wants to look at their wallet and say, ‘Oh yeah… that’s who I was.’”
Pause.
“Crypto’s permanent. But the memory of what you did? That fades. This gives it back.”
You, standing tall:
“I’m asking for 2 ETH for 10%. Who’s in?”
Mark Cuban Type grins.
“You’re early… but you’re onto something. I’ll give you 2 ETH, but I want 20%. And a Timehop-style daily email feature.”
Mr. Wonderful waves his hand.
“It’s too soft for me. I’m out.”
Web3 Maximalist leans in:
“If you tokenize user stories and reward contributors, I’ll invest and airdrop to my DAO.”
Cut to you shaking hands, walking off with a smirk.
Voiceover: “In a world of cold chains, one founder dared to make crypto personal.”
Which Founder Are You?
(No, seriously. Let’s find out.)
Some people build the next Stripe.
Others build the first something.
The real question is: What kind of founder are you?
🧠 The Tinkerer
You’ve got 17 side projects, 1 working prototype, and 0 patience for bad UX.
Idea: “EchoNote”
Double-tap your AirPods to capture podcast insights in real time.
Finally, a notes app made for your actual brain.
💅 The Vibe Architect
You believe branding is a moat. You make aesthetics strategic.
You’ve considered launching a fashion line and a Webflow template in the same day.
Idea: “Interactive Fashion Studio”
Turn user-created patterns into instantly shoppable fashion drops.
It’s Canva meets Zara meets dopamine.
📈 The Scaler
You’ve built teams. Sold stuff. Raised a little (or a lot).
You don’t want an MVP, you want an unfair advantage.
Idea: “Silent Signals”
A churn-detection layer that sees risk before it shows up in metrics.
Plug into any SaaS stack. Catch churn before it happens.
All of these idea types are in NTE Pro with a GTM plan, monetization strategy, and next steps.
No guru nonsense. Just battle-tested startup fuel.
