"She’s taking an excerpt of Burn Alpha‘s digital manuscript and minting an NFT on the Zora marketplace. Earlier this week, Segal put up for sale a 70% stake in the token for a total of 25 ethereum, or about $50,000, offering typical crowdsourcing extras like limited edition merch, a hardback copy of the book, and a chat with the author at various levels of support.
