Announcing The Onchain Gift Shop 👀⛓️🏬

GM DOers! 😎

It’s been 1.5 years since we started Web3 Academy. Our mission has always been to guide you to capitalize on the next big phase of the internet. 🌊

Over the past 1.5 years, we’ve interviewed over 100 founders and leaders, and one thing has become clear. The best way to capitalize on the opportunity of web3 is to participate.

You must get your hands dirty.

You must interact onchain.

Therefore, it is our job to present you with exciting, fun, and simple ways to interact onchain, because we know that experience is the best teacher.

We also know that over the next decade, generational wealth will be made by the builders, investors, and creators in web3.

And we want you to be one of those people.

It all starts with you spending more time onchain!

This is why we’re launching The Onchain Gift Shop.

What is The Onchain Gift Shop? 🛍

Straight up - you get free stuff for interacting onchain.

Why?

Because people doin’ stuff onchain should be celebrated!! 🥳

We call that a W.

Each week, we pick onchain activities worth celebrating. Blockchain technology enables us to permissionlessly reward anyone who takes that action.
