@cojo.eth 's  Journey into Web3:
Colin made the switch from legacy tech to Web3 during a challenging time for the space. Despite the uncertainty, he saw the potential for new opportunities and started building Ponder.

Starting with USDC:
@ponder began by using USDC instead of launching its own token. This choice was aimed at ensuring stability and accessibility while setting a strong foundation for future growth and always having the potential of creating their own token down the road.

The Farcaster community:
@cojo.eth credits the Farcaster community for creating an environment that’s not only welcoming to founders but to anyone interested in exploring Web3. The culture has been a big part of Ponder’s development.

FarCon

/farcon and the @bracketgame beer pong tournament:
/farcon provided a chance for the @farcaster community to connect irl. The beer pong tournament stood out as a legendary way to bring us all together.
