About Outposts
Outposts is a personalized Web3 newsletter platform that delivers curated, community-focused updates from across the decentralized ecosystem. Built to save users from endless scrolling through Twitter threads, Discord chats, and Substack posts, Outposts compiles the most relevant and timely content into a twice-weekly digest delivered straight to your inbox. It offers Web3-native users a powerful way to stay informed without the noise.
With a seamless onboarding process that includes wallet connection and a free access NFT, Outposts taps into your on-chain activity and community affiliations to generate a newsletter unique to your Web3 footprint. The platform is free to use and is tailored for crypto users who want to stay up-to-date with the projects, DAOs, and communities they engage with most.
Outposts was created to address a growing problem in the Web3 world: information overload. Between protocol updates, governance changes, DeFi launches, and NFT campaigns, most users struggle to filter the noise and keep track of the updates that actually matter to them. Outposts solves this by using wallet-based identity and public on-chain data to intelligently curate a newsletter based on real user engagement.
When a user connects their wallet, Outposts scans public data such as token holdings, guild memberships, chain activity, and NFTs. It then cross-references this with update streams from platforms like Twitter/X, Discord, Mirror, Medium, and Substack. Communities on Outposts define their own news signals through profiles, ensuring that curated updates remain contextually relevant and not purely algorithmic. This blend of social data and smart automation makes it more than a newsletter—it’s a Web3-native media layer.
The digest is delivered twice a week—on Tuesdays and Fridays at 9 AM local time—and is also viewable via a live web version. Users can further refine their feed by following or unfollowing communities manually, allowing for fine-tuned personalization. Outposts also introduces a system of free NFTs—minted on Polygon without gas fees—to handle newsletter access and referrals.
Unlike typical crypto newsletters or aggregator platforms, Outposts offers a personalized experience similar to what platforms like Paragraph aim to do—but with a tighter integration into wallet activity and real-time social feeds. In doing so, it fills a niche between traditional Web2 publishing and the decentralized communication networks of Web3.
With a growing user base and increasing community adoption, Outposts is becoming an essential part of the information stack for anyone actively navigating the decentralized ecosystem.
