Lately, I’ve been feeling the need for a quieter away from algorithms, noise, and the pressure to perform. Somewhere I can simply share what I’m creating, what I’m feeling, and what I’m learning along the way. A place to stay close to the people I hold dear So I decided to open a small corner of the internet called Mismir🌹 Mismir has been my life project, my universe of thoughts, dreams, wins, failures, and much more. Everything I’ve ever created has lived within it, so it felt natural to name this quiet space Mismir itself and use it as the center of the world we’re designing. It’s a Telegram channel where I’ll share reflections, updates, fragments of my journey, and behind-the-scenes moments from the world I’m building It’s meant to be slow, honest, and human. If you’ve ever resonated with my work or my words, you’ll feel at home there You can join here: https://t.me/+9TH83TKKqgpjNTc0 Thank you!🌹 With love, Eduard🌹

Spent today reflecting on the next steps I need to take to get closer to making my dreams a reality. I’ve been doing some rebranding to make sure the surface looks good and ready for the next chapter. But I’ve also been doing deep work on the inside on the things that actually have impact, and how to move them forward from here Mismir has been my work for a few years now, and it’s something I will never want to give up on. It feels like my baby, the child I never had. As some of you already know, I was the victim of a scam and lost plenty of time, money, and soul that I had bootstrapped into bringing to life the first chapter of Mismir: a T-shirt embedded with an NFC chip, designed to unlock activations that bridged the digital and physical worlds. Since I don’t currently have the resources to continue that path, I have to pivot and approach things differently. The garments will come later as I will never give up on the vision I have for them and the impact I believe they can carry But Mismir itself won’t stop. If anything, it will grow. Mismir is becoming my universe, a home for my thoughts, dreams, designs, and more. Everything you’ll see within Mismir, or coming out of it, will be a reflection of my own soul. Soon, I’ll begin working on a Mismir OS, ****essentially bringing this universe to life in a tangible way. It will be a place where all parts of my world come together, where each dot connects and makes more sense. And I want you to be part of it too because part of myself is also you, the people. When the time comes, I’ll share how you may be represented as small, yet powerful and impactful dots in the universe I’ll also be returning to the art world making art, curating art, and releasing new works for collecting. I also have an idea for an app that could empower artists everywhere. I don’t know if it will succeed, but I believe it’s worth a shot. It’s been a while since I’ve stepped fully into art, and it feels like it’s calling me back There are other things I have in mind, but I’ll share them one step at a time, when the moment is right In the meantime, I’ll be doing my best to gather what I need to create the product I believe in most: Y (which may be renamed soon). This app brings together the values I hold closest: helping and supporting people, being around people, seeing them happy, connected, and succeeding all while ensuring genuine human connection, and leveraging the technology we’ve been blessed with today. I’ll keep you posted on everything that happens along the journey of bringing this app to life I’ll be taking things one step at a time. Everything happens for us, not to us. No matter how hard it gets or what we have to go through, we keep our heads up. Brighter times are ahead It’s time for a new chapter!🌹 With love, Eduard 🌹

On trying again: For the past 12 days I’ve been running a crowdfund campaign, hoping to raise the funds for the equipment I need to take my work to the next level and design one of my dream apps Y The reason I launched the campaign was because I had been scammed out of $5K by the manufacturer who was supposed to produce the garments I had been working on for a long time. That collection was meant to be my main source of income, for Mismir and for myself. Losing it hit me hard both financially and mentally. It felt like the floor had been pulled from under me, because I had put everything into it. My only money, my only plan. It turned me upside down And yet, life moves forward. However difficult it is to digest (and I admit I’m still not fully over it) I know I have to keep my head up. I have to stay guided by the deeper purpose that exists beyond the setbacks: to leave this world better than I found it. To design things that connect people, empower them, and allow them to express themselves. To make people feel a little more whole, a little more fulfilled This campaign wasn’t a success. Not even 30% of the goal was reached. It’s hard to come to peace with that right now, because I had expectations. But it’s also okay. I am thankful. Thankful that even 30% was reached, thankful that people cared enough to support me and my dream I know I could have done it better. But that’s how we learn, isn’t it? As someone I deeply respect reminded me during this campaign: “Edison made 999 lightbulbs that didn’t work before the 1 that changed everything” I’ve been through a lot of failures on my journey. I’ve lost more than I’ve gained (money, time, soul). But despite all this, I haven’t given up. And I won’t give up now Even though I don’t yet have what I need to start the next chapter exactly as I envisioned, I will adapt. I’ll take a detour until I can return to the main path. The dream will not fade. One day this app will be released, because I believe in it too much to abandon it. I will try again, and when I do, it will be stronger and better Today I’ll move slower, spend more time offline, and put some things in order. But before I close, I want to thank every single soul who supported this campaign. You can’t imagine how much your time, words, money, and encouragement mean to me. I will not forget it. If you haven’t already, I invite you to visit the crowdfund link and choose whether you’d like a refund or prefer to let your contribution stand. I’m good with either choice. What matters most to me is that your support feels meaningful, not wasted (whether it continues with me or goes to another dream that needs it) Thank you: @dwn2erth.eth @jordanisgreen.eth @papa @ryanfox.eth @selenevisions @seeingblue @tinyrainboot @jessyjeanne @pauline-unik @blakefinucane @tako-unik @0ffline @christopher @benna @erica @awkquarian @rileybeans @godsticky.eth @odysseyheart @coinempress @iohenn @winberry @alitiknazoglu @zaal @cristinaspinei @horsefacts.eth @twolf @trebor69 @gaia @statuette @arjantupan @msmeghna @janicka @ogebaeby @purplenerrd @juampi @kenny @lianta @yoshiromare.eth @tekr0x.eth @cartesse.eth @les @typeof.eth @arseniy.eth The dream is still alive!

Some of you might already know Eduard - a friend, builder, a dreamer who’s been shaping Mismir & one of the kindest souls I’ve met here. He’s the type of person who makes you feel seen, held, and celebrated just for existing, he’s truly rare and builds with so much intention and thought That same heart is what he’s pouring into Mismir and now Y. He had a tough setback this year, but instead of giving up, he pivoted. That’s Eduard: resilient, intentional, and moving gently but always forward Now he’s crowdfunding to keep the vision alive. If you’ve ever wanted to support builders who not only create but also care deeply, about what they’re making and why, Eduard is that person🌹 Check out his campaign, and if it speaks to you, support however you can (even sharing helps) Let’s help him make this vision real 🌹 Donate to @eduardmsmr's crowdfund "Y: Make It Mean🌹"

For the past few years, I’ve been designing Mismir, a creative studio shaping tools, platforms, and products that help people express themselves, connect meaningfully, and create with intention. This year was meant to be the release of our first product: a garment (a T-shirt). Chipped, symbolic, a new way to meet fashion. I had plans, a long vision, people waiting Then my manufacturer scammed me. I lost $5k+ and months of work. It hurt deeply. The money, the emotions, the time, I felt like I let people down, including myself. After the dust settled, I did the only thing that felt right: pivot, keeping my head up and moving gently but forward. The purpose of making the world a better place stayed my guiding light I’ve always wanted to design something in fashion. I thought I’d begin with cloth; the universe asked me to begin with You. Y (pronounced “you”) is what I’m moving toward Y is a digital sanctuary where fashion becomes memory, identity, and presence, a blend of social, cultural content, and community commerce built for reflection, not performance. The philosophy is simple: your wardrobe is your world. Fashion isn’t just what you wear; it’s how you feel, remember, and transform. We need to bring that back to life The vision is to design a global home where people document looks, archive moods, uplift each other, and co-create a new “based” culture (IYKYK) built on meaning, not manipulation. A platform designed for humans, where presence is real and intentional. And one more element that shows the breadth of this vision: Everything is Fashion I’ve bootstrapped what I could. I chose patience over speed. I kept the rose close and tried to build with care because I want Y to feel like breath, not pressure. Now, I’m ready to begin again What I need: - MacBook Pro 16″ (M4 Pro) → $3,800 (It’s pricier here than in the US due to VAT and import duties in Romania.) There are two reasons I need a new laptop. First, for the past year and a half, I’ve been using a $500 Lenovo (what I could afford after my previous laptop broke) for 12 hours a day, and each day it gets slower, unable to fully support the programs I use (coding, editing). Second, it runs Windows, and to ship this app to iOS, I need macOS/Xcode to compile, test, and sign it. - Apple Developer Program (1 year) → $100 This unlocks TestFlight, certificates, and App Store distribution, which represent the gate to publishing. - Setup essentials + small buffer → $100 I’ll use this for minor software tools, a USB-C hub/adapter, and a little price wiggle so work isn’t stalled. What I’m offering: $75 → Founder (Year One) Full access to Y for 1 year • Cultural Status (rose crest) • Founder badge • Founding Bloom NFT airdrop (Base) • Co-creation access (Founder Circle feedback, private threads, early invites) • Founder spotlight surfaces (human-curated highlights and a visible founder ring; no algorithmic manipulation) $150 → Founder (Two Years) Everything in $75 for 2 years • Distinct badge + Founding Bloom variant to mark two-year support. $300 → Founder (Five Years) Everything in $150, for 5 years • Early access to new features via feature flags and private betas • Distinct five-year badge + Bloom. $750 → Founding Patron (Lifetime) Everything in $300, for as long as Y operates • Founding Patron badge • Name etched on the in-app Founders Wall at launch. Highest donor → “Vespertilio” (1/1) → https://foundation.app/mint/base/0x044c8225a309df5Ae87f861e2d7881803aA54236/6 At campaign end (if the goal is achieved), the top individual contributor receives my artwork Vespertilio, which is currently minted on Base and available to see on Foundation (listing price was 0.25 ETH, approximately $1,000 on 19.08.25), exhibited at the Oculus (NYC) and Awaita Studios (NYC), and featured in The Future of Art: Best Digital Artists of Our Generation. If there’s a tie, the earlier contribution wins Notes: - Access starts at launch. Founder benefits begin when Y opens its doors. Co-creation will start earlier (e.g., a Telegram group where I share the build and you help shape it; occasional live sessions to co-create together) - No pay-to-win feeds. “Priority visibility” = human-curated founder highlights (rings, spotlights, showcases), not hidden boost mechanics - Non-transferable membership. Badges/status are tied to your account; NFTs are collectible and may be transferable - Yearly plan cap. The $75 yearly plan is limited to 1,000 active memberships each year. Higher tiers are crowdfund-only for now; any future availability will be decided together as a community Y is more than an app to me. It’s a promise to design with honesty, to move at a human pace, and to make beauty useful. If this speaks to you, your support fuels a beginning. It tells me there are others who want the same kind of internet: quieter, kinder, more alive. Thank you for reading, and for believing that what we make can make us! 🌹 With gratitude, Eduard 🌹 Let’s make it mean. 🌹

I will always stand up for the things I believe in, it’s not something I force, it’s simply who I am If I believe in something (the clearest example being what I aim to design through Mismir), then know that no one and nothing can make me give up on it except myself I welcome different opinions, I’m open to listening to different perspectives, but I will never abandon my beliefs just because someone else sees things differently And it doesn’t fucking matter who they are🌹

I’m not sure how many of you know, but /mismir has a profile on Zora and a “creator token.” I wanted to experiment with this format as well For now, the posts there are a mix of my thoughts (sometimes in text, sometimes in video), but over time, as we move forward in the journey, the things I share there will definitely evolve The series is called NO SIGNAL, and it’s made up of thoughts that come to me at night, in the middle of work, or during quiet moments when I’m just observing the world. Things I feel, notice, or question. There’s no set structure, plan, or strategy attached to it. Just moments I want to release All the revenue made from the token will be reinvested in the brand and other creators!🌹 https://zora.co/@mismir

The main purpose of everything that is designed at Mismir is to empower people to express themselves, connect meaningfully, and create with intention. Nothing more, nothing less🌹

Started my day working on Y (more on that soon; it’s /mismir ‘s first digital product, and I might need your help to bring it to life), when I got a call from my father letting me know that today’s the day for thrashing For context, we have a family business (it’s my father’s but I help him with it) in agriculture, and July–August is harvest season. This year we’ve got wheat, potatoes, and corn. The season starts with wheat, so today, I spent the whole day in the field. Just now finished I’m tired as fuck. Still have some things to wrap up for Y, saw that GPT-5 dropped today, and I’m behind on a few other things too. Not sure if I should push through and work late again, or just pause and reset. Maybe tonight’s a good night to rest and start fresh tomorrow (it’s 9PM here now) Below are two photos, one of the field we worked on today, and one of me earlier, right as the day began That’s why I’ve been a little quiet here today🌹

I’m launching a new series called NO SIGNAL The way I envision it, it’s a space for fragments; thoughts that come to me at night, in the middle of work, or during moments when I’m just observing the world. Things I feel, notice, or question There’s no real structure to it. No strategy. No plan. Just moments I want to release Sometimes it will be text. Other times images, videos, or whatever format feels right in that moment The series will live on @zora . And because /mismir is the work of my life, the one that holds most of the fragments of myself, I’ve decided to bring NO SIGNAL to life through it I’ve also launched a coin for the brand, which you can also check out if you’d like NO SIGNAL #000 is below and it’s about a new kind of social status definer that may have been sparked by @zora Thank you!🌹 https://zora.co/coin/base:0x23595b8fec2a3f8c1201ed7c0a072a70dd6ca468?referrer=0x5bc2da6153324f212e63d7c5865eb2a3846d9a35

I’ve never faced a bigger setback in my life than the one I’ve had with the garments for Mismir But despite everything, I’m grateful. Grateful for the experiences I’ve had before because they’re the reason I’m still standing, still moving, still adapting For most people, this would’ve been the point of giving up. It is what it is. And yeah, it feels like shit. But I have dreams to bring to life. Things I want to design for people. And nothing, no matter what it is, will hold me back or bring me down. Everything happens for us, not to us. And always for a reason🌹

I always dreamt of creating something in fashion. Thought it would start with garments, but maybe fate has something else in store Right now, I’m working on a fashion app powered by Mismir (still in the planning phase), and I’ve never felt more excited. I’m bringing together everything I love about fashion and the culture that surrounds it into one experience And what makes it even better is that I am to design it in a way that gives voice to the smaller “members”, the hidden forces who shape the culture. Because they are fashion, too Can’t wait to share more. This one feels sooo different🌹

I’ve recorded a 20 min video where I speak openly about everything that’s happened with Mismir over the past few years, and what you can expect from us moving forward Here’s a quick TL;DR: I was scammed with the garments I might still receive them, but without the proper labeling, packaging, or prints I paid for. On top of that, I owe €3K to someone I borrowed from just to get the garments delivered to Romania. There are many other costs involved in releasing the T-shirts, and the uncertainty around when (or if) they’ll arrive is what worries me most Because of this my focus is shifting toward designing two apps: a fashion app & a social media app The fashion app will go beyond just buying and selling garments. It will capture the full culture of fashion, music, art, community, & more The social media app is one I’ve dreamed of for a long time: a space built for creators, artists, and real people. No algorithms. No toxicity. Just genuine connection & growth, together🌹

Been at my cousin’s wedding this weekend which lasted for four day! I’ve mostly been driving rather than drinking, but still had plenty of fun Taking today to rest as it’s been exhausting, and there’s a lot of work ahead. It’s going to be a really busy week: tomorrow I’m shooting the video for my sister’s song, starting work on the apps for Mismir, hopping on a bunch of calls, and handling everything in between In the meantime, here’s a little video from the wedding! Danced until morning, partied with everyone, and definitely brought some spice to the celebration! How were your weddings?? @pauline-unik @thedude 🌹🌶️

I’ve always hated having to label my work, because I feel like labeling often limits what a creation can become. Once something is labeled, it’s expected to conform to certain rules That’s why if you hear me talking about Mismir as a fashion brand one day, then tech, then art, then something else entirely, it’s because I don’t want to limit it It can be nothing, something, or everything at once🌹

If Mismir were a place, you'd walk in wearing whatever made you feel the most like yourself I will hand you a mirror, make you look into it, just to remember who you are. There'd be music. Roses. Softness. You'd never have to shrink. You will just have to be yourself. That's the only rule. I want it to be a safe place for each and every one of us How does your safe place look like?🌹

It’s time for a new chapter, for myself, for /mismir , and for all of us. I invite you to watch the short video below, where I open up about everything that has unfolded in Mismir’s world, and where we’re headed next. It hasn’t been easy. I never imagined I’d go through such moments But I believe now, more than ever, that everything happens for me for my growth, for the greater vision I will rise stronger. And I will find the right path to bring it all to life Part 1🌹
