It follows Paragraph’s 2024 acquisition of Mirror and a $5 million raise led by Union Square Ventures and Coinbase Ventures. Smooth Transition From Mirror to Paragraph Expected All Mirror blogs, posts, and subscriber data will be automatically redirected to Paragraph. The migration requires no action from creators, according to the post, which said the integration will streamline the product roadmap and consolidate publishing infrastructure. “Your writing will remain live, and readers visiting your Mirror blog will be redirected to your new home on Paragraph,” the announcement stated. Paragraph now includes a set of features initially developed across both platforms. These include reader coins, which allow supporters to contribute directly to specific posts, and writer coins, which allow long-term support for a creator’s full body of work. The remix function lets users publish responses linked to original content, contributing to a shared discussion and revenue stream. All features are underpinned by blockchain integrations that handle attribution, access, and revenue distribution through tokens. Web3 Content Publishing Platform Mirror and Paragraph were both created as crypto-native alternatives to traditional content platforms. By using digital assets, they have offered on-chain monetization, audience management, and self-custody of content, positioning themselves as creator-first platforms within the Web3 publishing ecosystem . When the acquisition was first announced in May 2024, Paragraph CEO Colin Armstrong said the goal was to explore a unified model for on-chain publishing. Mirror founder Denis Nazarov joined as an advisor and remains involved during the transition. With Mirror closing, Paragraph will serve as the consolidated platform. The move may prompt similar consolidation across Web3 publishing services, as projects look to maintain active communities while reducing infrastructure complexity and overlapping feature sets.
