Adam Levy is a Web3 media entrepreneur whose work has focused on the intersection of blockchain technology, creators, online communities and new forms of digital ownership. He is the founder and host of Mint Podcast, a long-running show exploring NFTs, social tokens, DAOs, onchain communities and creator monetization. His later entrepreneurial work includes Bello, an onchain analytics project, and Blueprint, a cohort-based program for onchain creators. As of 2026, Levy's latest venture is NBN (Neural Broadcast Network), a technology-first media company. This profile covers his verified crypto and media work and distinguishes current from previous projects.
1. About Adam Levy
Adam Levy's entry into cryptocurrency began in 2017 while he was a student at the University of Southern California (USC), where he was part of the Marshall School of Business class of 2019. According to his own public profiles and speaker biographies, he helped kickstart the blockchain ecosystem on the USC campus through student-led organisations before moving into professional roles in the crypto industry.
His first major industry role was at Draper Goren Holm, a Los Angeles–based blockchain venture studio, where he worked in operations from 2018 to 2021. In June 2021 he launched Mint Podcast, which became his best-known project and the platform through which he built a public identity around Web3 creator-economy commentary. He later co-founded Bello (2022), an onchain analytics project, which he pivoted into Blueprint (2024), a cohort program for onchain creators. His latest verified venture is NBN (Neural Broadcast Network), which he founded in March 2026. This profile focuses on his relevance to cryptocurrency and Web3 and avoids unnecessary personal biography.
2. Early Blockchain Involvement at USC
Adam Levy's blockchain activity began at the University of Southern California. His public LinkedIn profile lists his 2019 USC activities as including the Trojan Blockchain Society, the USC Marshall Venture Fund, and Troy Labs (also written as TroyLabs). Speaker biographies for industry events describe him as having “helped kickstart the blockchain ecosystem on campus” through these student organisations.
The Trojan Blockchain Society is a student-run blockchain organisation at USC focused on education, community initiatives and career development. Troy Labs is a student entrepreneurship initiative. This section describes Levy's involvement as a participant and organiser within these campus groups. These were student organisations, not companies founded by Adam Levy, and this profile does not present them as his commercial ventures. His campus blockchain activity is relevant because it marks the starting point of his entry into the crypto industry and his early experience building blockchain communities.
3. Draper Goren Holm
Adam Levy's first full-time crypto industry role was at Draper Goren Holm, a Los Angeles–based fintech venture studio and events operator co-founded by Tim Draper and focused on incubating and accelerating early-stage blockchain startups. Levy has stated publicly that he accepted a full-time position as Operations Manager at the firm, and his LinkedIn profile lists his tenure there from 2018 to 2021.
In that role he was involved in the firm's incubation and acceleration work. Speaker biographies note that during his time at Draper Goren Holm the studio helped incubate and accelerate more than 15 crypto and blockchain startups. LunarCRUSH is among the companies that have been publicly associated with the studio's portfolio. This profile does not imply that Adam Levy founded, invested in, or directly operated those portfolio companies; his role was operational, within the venture studio, rather than as a founder of the startups the studio supported.
4. Mint Podcast
Mint Podcast is the project most closely associated with Adam Levy's public profile in Web3. Levy is the founder and host. According to his LinkedIn profile, he began hosting Mint in June 2021, and the show is distributed on major podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
Mint is described in its own show notes as a “portal into the onchain creator economy.” Its subject areas include NFTs and digital collectibles, social tokens, DAOs and onchain communities, and the ways creators use blockchain-based tools to monetise and build direct relationships with their audiences. Through long-form interviews, the show has explored how creators transition from web2 platforms to Web3 models of ownership, membership and community.
Mint's significance is as a Web3 creator-focused media platform: it documents and circulates ideas about blockchain-enabled creator monetization rather than serving as a protocol or infrastructure project. Levy has described the show's audience in onchain terms; this profile does not republish specific listener, download, revenue or ranking figures unless they come from a reliable dated source, and it treats self-reported audience metrics as claims rather than verified facts.
5. Bello
Bello was an onchain analytics project co-founded by Adam Levy. His LinkedIn profile lists him as Co-founder & CEO of Bello from June 2022. Levy has explained that he built Bello to help himself, as a creator, understand his own onchain audience using publicly available blockchain data. The product was framed as a no-code analytics platform intended to give creators real-time insight into blockchain data and crypto-native communities.
Bello received public attention from the broader Web3 ecosystem, including coverage from Consensys Mesh. In simple terms, Bello attempted to help creators understand who their crypto-native audiences were by reading publicly available onchain information. According to Levy's own account, Bello was pivoted into Blueprint in August 2024. As a standalone product under the Bello name, it should be treated as superseded rather than as a currently operating independent company as of August 2026.
6. Blueprint
Blueprint is the venture Adam Levy launched after pivoting Bello. His LinkedIn profile lists him as Founder & CEO of Blueprint from August 2024. Blueprint is a cohort-based program for creators focused on “onchain virality” — helping creators turn their content into onchain assets and build crypto-native audiences. It has run multiple cohorts (Cohort 1, Cohort 2 and Cohort 3), and has been associated with ZERO Network.
In his own published “2024 in Review” update, Levy reported that Blueprint generated approximately $1.45 million in primary sales and engaged around 132,000 collectors during 2024. Those figures are Levy's own reported numbers and are presented here as his stated results rather than as independently audited facts. Blueprint was initially hosted at a Bello subdomain (blueprint.bello.lol), reflecting its evolution from the Bello project.
Status note: Blueprint was Levy's primary venture from August 2024, but in March 2026 he announced a new company, NBN (Neural Broadcast Network). As of August 2026, NBN is Levy's latest verified venture. This profile therefore presents Blueprint as a recent venture rather than asserting it is his current primary role. Readers should check Levy's official channels for the latest status of Blueprint specifically.
What Is Adam Levy Working on Now?
Information checked: August 2026
Adam Levy's latest verified venture is NBN (Neural Broadcast Network), which he founded in March 2026. NBN is a technology-first media company that, in its own words, engineers media from the public record. According to the NBN website, the company produces investigative podcast series built from large bodies of public records and court documents, including “The Epstein Files,” “War Desk,” “Rex: The Gilgo Beach Architect,” and “The UFO Files,” with “The JFK Files” announced as forthcoming. The NBN site reports figures such as millions of total network downloads and top-charting Apple Podcasts positions; those are NBN's own reported metrics and are presented here as the company's claims rather than as independently verified facts. NBN has received coverage from outlets including Bloomberg and Fast Company.
To distinguish current from previous work clearly:
- Current (2026): NBN (Neural Broadcast Network) — Founder & CEO, March 2026.
- Recent (2024): Blueprint — Founder & CEO, August 2024; status beyond early 2026 not independently confirmed.
- Ongoing media work: Mint Podcast — Host since June 2021.
- Previous (superseded): Bello — Co-founder & CEO from June 2022; pivoted into Blueprint in August 2024.
- Previous (2018–2021): Draper Goren Holm — Operations Manager.

7. Web3 Creator Economy
Adam Levy's broader area of work sits within the Web3 creator economy — the set of ideas and experiments around how blockchain technology changes the relationship between creators and their audiences. Key ideas in this area include creator ownership of content and audiences, digital collectibles (NFTs) as content, community memberships represented onchain, social tokens, and direct creator-to-community relationships that bypass traditional platform intermediaries.
It is important to distinguish between Adam Levy's own products and the topics he discusses on Mint Podcast. Mint is a media platform that explores these ideas through interviews; the technologies, projects and frameworks discussed on the show are not necessarily Levy's own inventions or products. Bello and Blueprint are Levy's own entrepreneurial work in this space. This profile attributes specific products to Levy only where his involvement is independently verifiable, and it treats the broader creator-economy concepts as the subject matter of his commentary rather than as his personal claims.
Why Adam Levy Matters in Web3
Adam Levy's relevance in Web3 comes from his work at the intersection of media, the creator economy and onchain communities. Through Mint Podcast he created a long-running, publicly accessible record of how creators have experimented with NFTs, social tokens, DAOs and blockchain-based monetization. Through Bello and Blueprint he built products that attempted to turn those ideas into practical tools and programs for creators seeking to reach crypto-native audiences.
His importance is best understood through those actual projects rather than through exaggerated claims. He is a media entrepreneur and creator-economy builder, not a protocol inventor, cryptographer or blockchain core developer, and this profile does not describe him as such. His pivot in 2026 to NBN, a technology-first media company focused on public records rather than Web3, marks a shift in his primary focus, and this profile records that change rather than presenting him solely as a Web3 founder.
