"Open to everybody" Language

[mattdesl]

Thanks for the great write-up memo!

It might be worth pointing out the difference between "Open to everybody" and "Open application form" — I've applied to VIV3 some time ago through their application form, but haven't been accepted to the platform yet, so it doesn't feel that different from many other platforms which are curating/reviewing their applications for the best content or to create scarcity. Meanwhile, OpenSea actually does appear to be open to anybody, in that you can create an account and start minting right away.

Haven't tried all of the other sites yet so can't comment on the language there.

Thanks Matt, yes this is a very good point. I'm not sure what the most concise language is, but it seems there are three categories:

• everybody can register immediately
• everybody can apply, but applicants will be manually verified by the platform (and some are more selective than others)
• invite only.

I will think about trying to compress this into fewer words!
