A practical guide to a community around a collection: real people who like the work, talk with the creator, and show up when something new is shared. It is about steady habits, not tricks for big numbers.

KURV runs on testnet today, on Base Sepolia and Solana Devnet, at testnet.kurv.fun. Coins are free and nothing has value. On testnet, minting, trading, and launching need an invite code. Browsing does not. Apply at kurv.fun/apply. Login is on testnet.kurv.fun. The kurv.fun landing page has no login.

Who it is for

Creators who would rather have a small group that cares than a large group that does not. Read Name it, tell it first if the name and the pitch are still open.

What is inside

Why community comes first. People have to see the art, and then they have to care. Start while the work is still being made.
Finding your first people. Friends, artists who make similar work, and real conversations.
Sharing your process. Sketches, trait tests, mistakes, and the tools. Ask opinions only on choices you will actually change.
Be where your people already are. One or two places, a clear profile, and a group chat only once people would use it.
Talk with people, not at them. Reply, ask a real question, celebrate others, and skip a fight.
Your mint, explained honestly. Say how login works, the price type, and the Vault. Every collection launched on KURV has a Vault, and it can hold $0. A Vault Exit is a quote at a moment, not a promise. Share the mint link only from your own accounts, and say you will not DM someone a mint link first.
After the mint. Thank people, keep sharing, and only say you will do what you will actually do.
Things to avoid. Fake numbers, spam, giveaways that only want a follow, hype, and going quiet.
A simple weekly routine. A sketch, replies, a question, and one look back each month.
