🌍 52/This Week in Web3ForGood
Web3ForGood Madness
gm gm,
Launches, partnerships, & regulation, oh my! The Web3 community is kicking off March with a bang (brand new website and product suite from Gitcoin?! Swoon). On our radar? Schelling Point talks. No, we’re not in Denver, but we’re keeping an eye out for the recordings to drop soon. Check out that agenda though 😍.
And we hope you’re ready to party 🎉, because we have some big news… Next week marks ONE WHOLE YEAR of publishing Web3ForGood. That’s 52 weeks straight of the latest #Web3ForGood news, ideas, opportunities, and projects delivered straight to your Inbox. It’s true, we haven’t missed a week, and for that we are super proud! Stay tuned for more exciting updates from us next week. In the meantime…
WAGMI (we are going to make an impact)
