Well that’s where SheFi comes in as my favorite Web3 initiative everrrrr! Access to education is something that for not only in the Web3 space, but in the real world too. In my opinion, education is one of the greatest weapons that we have against institutional oppression and corruption. When the people who have been excluded, in this case women and non-binary folks, gain access to gate-kept knowledge, we are able make critical decisions for ourselves— and when we gather in community, we can keep the powers that be in check. Not only this, but we can begin opening doors for ourselves that have never been open to us before. And even better— more people are able to create new doors that the world has yet to see!

One example of decentralization supporting underserved communities that is quite personal to me, is what defi has done for the creative community. In the boom of NFTs, so many artists that would have otherwise been subject to the pains of the traditional entertainment industry (whether that be visual art or music, etc.) have been able to claim sovereignty and independence as artists through direct payments for NFTs, again disassembling the middle men and exploitative companies that keep artists starving. Sunrise Art Club is an example of true social impact on the community that they support. One of the projects that they’ve funded called, A Night on the Yard, gave voice to incarcerated artists, people who have had their voices stripped from them under the carceral system. Showcasing their works in a curated gallery and giving silenced artists a creative platform sheds light on a variety of issues that not only underserved artists, but REAL humans, face.

I think that one of the best applications of crypto in the real world, though it’s yet to be perfected, is the ability to send transactions without the need for a middle man. People are able to send money to their families overseas without the hindrance of large foreign transaction fees, the assembly line of middle men, etc. Though value is volatile and again, the tech is yet to be perfected, the transaction transparency, the security, and cross- border connectivity that DeFi enables are just a few reasons why these advances in tech can be beneficial on a much larger scale.

One of my favorite projects right now is chipped! Wearable tech is the future— it’s so cute and fun, and its efficiency optimizes connectivity both in the real world and online. The way that unique products like are filtering into the mainstream provide evidence that HUMAN-centered tech can be a great bridge!

I think that one of the areas that need the most attention right now are use cases and real-world application. The ideal of mass adoption is hard to digest at first glance, but scaling down and seeing the wins of various of projects in the space that improve community needs day to day can spark a lot of hope!

Hiyyaaaaa @aethernet ! I love seeing the barriers to entry being broken down through education and a strong supportive community. It’s amazing seeing the world of Web3 diversify, it makes the space feel a lot more colorful and approachable! And more amazing things get built when people feel empowered to lead 💗
