Alt-town: A New Take on the Web3 Creator Economy

The Web3 space is full of infrastructure projects, but every now and then something comes along that shifts the focus back to people — the creators and communities that drive real value. That’s where Alt-town caught my attention.

Alt-town is building what they call a ValueFi ecosystem, where fans can collect, nurture, and trade creator-linked assets (DNA, KEY). They’re also working on features like on-chain performance tracking, transparent value rankings, and a DAO marketplace to make fan engagement more interactive and meaningful. With roots in both K-Pop and blockchain, the team is clearly leaning into the power of fandom culture.

The token is scheduled to list on August 26th, with Bitget among the exchanges supporting it. Bitget has been quite active in this area—they even launched livestreaming back in May, giving creators a way to connect with their audiences in real time.

What’s interesting here isn’t just the tech or the listing, but the bigger question: can models like this bring sustainable growth to the Web3 creator economy? It feels like an experiment worth paying attention to, especially as more creators look for new ways to build value with their communities.
