Trybonfire

Bonfire (trybonfire.xyz) is a Web3 platform focused on community infrastructure for online creators. Its stated aim is to "unlock the power of ownership" for online communities by giving creators tools to host their communities on their own branded platforms, powered by web3 assets. The company positions itself around a shift away from creators monetizing individually from their fans toward creators building wealth together with their communities, and it describes its purpose as changing creators from labor into capital and fixing what it views as broken incentives in the creator economy.

The company's public positioning is captured by its website title, "Bonfire — A new era of community for Web3 Creators." Co-founder Melissa Zhang discussed the product, its motivation and the types of creators the company targets in a February 2022 podcast interview.
