Understanding Tags

Tags are topics you can write about. Examples:
  • Abstract Chain: General Abstract blockchain content
  • DeFi: Decentralized finance protocols
  • NFTs: Non-fungible tokens and collections
  • Lil Pudgys: Specific NFT collection
  • Trading: Market analysis and trading content
Tags Build Content Hubs: Each tag creates a content hub. When you write about a tagged project, you’re contributing to a comprehensive resource that helps readers understand that project’s place in the Abstract ecosystem.

​
Tag Permissions

As a writer, you can only use tags you’ve been assigned.
  • When creating an article, you’ll see all available tags
  • Tags you can use are enabled (clickable)
  • Tags you can’t use are disabled (grayed out with a lock icon)

​
Requesting Tag Access

​
Request from Dashboard

  1. Go to /admin/dashboard or /admin/tag-communities/
  2. Browse available tags
  3. Click “Request Access” on tags you want to write about
  4. Staff will review your request

​
After Requesting

  • Your request is sent to staff
  • You’ll be notified when your request is approved or rejected
  • Approved tags immediately become available for use

​
Tag Best Practices

  • Choose 2-6 relevant tags per article
  • Don’t over-tag (more tags ≠ better)
  • Use specific tags when possible
  • You can select up to 10 tags, use only when appropriate
  • Request tags proactively if you plan to write about a topic regularly
  • Think about organization - Tags create content hubs that help readers find related information
Request tags proactively if you plan to write about a topic regularly. This ensures you have access when you need it.

​
Smart Tag Mentions

Writers can now easily link to projects, tokens, and topics directly within their articles using Smart Tag Mentions. This feature allows you to create interactive references that enhance reader experience and provide valuable context.

​
How to Use Smart Tag Mentions

  1. Type @ followed by the tag name in the editor (e.g., @bitcoin)
  2. Select the correct tag from the autocomplete dropdown that appears
  3. The mention will be inserted as a handle (e.g., @bitcoin)

​
What Readers See

On the live site, these mentions automatically transform into interactive Smart Chips that display:
  • Project/Tag Name and Logo: Visual identification of the mentioned project or topic
  • Live Market Data: If the tag is a crypto asset, it shows:
    • Current price
    • 24-hour price change
  • Direct Link: Clicking the chip takes readers directly to that tag’s dedicated page

​
Best Practices for Smart Tag Mentions

  • Use mentions naturally within your content when referencing specific projects or tokens
  • Don’t overuse mentions - they should add value, not clutter
  • Mention tags that are relevant to your article’s topic
  • Smart Tag Mentions work with any tag you have access to
Smart Tag Mentions are a great way to provide context and help readers discover related content. Use them when you’re discussing specific projects, tokens, or topics that have dedicated tag pages.
