Digital Assets Index

🦜 ¡Welcome!

This is a list with stuff I've come across somehow and some contributions people sent – thank you so much by the way! 🎉

It's basically impossible to cover every single thing that is out there. To keep a managable list, I've simplified the selection process to: things I find interesting and useful for me or like-minded folks.

There are no special affiliations or economic interests with anyone or anything. I personally know some of the creators featured here – and they're awesome! As I stated, if something is here is because I believe is valuable.

Want to submit a suggestion? Are you doing something cool? Please, let me know 🤗

🏷️ Tags

- Something with the tag is a recent addition to this list

With the exception of 🗃️ Creators and Marketplaces , you will find $ and L$ tags in some categories.

- [no tag] = 95% chances is pretty much free.

-$ = paid stuff. It might have some sort of trial though.

-L$ = paid with some free features, tipically a limited feature set of the paid tiers.
