A GUIDE TO CRYPTO AND WEB3 Blockchain, tokens, NFTs, DAOs - what does it all mean? Our guide provides an accessible overview of the key concepts in Crypto and Web3. Discover LIBRARY Want to learn more? We are maintaining a comprehensive library of articles, papers, books and other materials related to the space and the surrounding discourse. It provides deeper background on specific topics along with everything you need to fully engage with, and evaluate, Web3 and the claims being made about it. Explore CLAIMS FOR CRYPTO AND WEB3 Crypto and Web3 are associated with many bold claims. From classic technology boosterism of better and faster, to the radical transformation of our societies. But huge controversy surrounds these claims, and there’s a lack of agreement on even basic points and definitions. Learn More WHY THIS PROJECT What is the motivation and purpose of this project? SITUATION: CONTROVERSIAL AND COMPLEX Web3 & crypto has become a massive phenomenon. Big claims are made for its impact extending to the transformation of our economy and society. It is also exceptionally controversial and polarizing with significant disagreement. Finally, it’s not an easy topic to make sense of. Read More THE PROBLEM: THE STAKES ARE HIGH, BUT WE’RE STRUGGLING The phenomenon has global implications and touches on multiple complex areas. We require good, collective sensemaking, or else risk polarization. As a “runaway problem”, the investment of attention and money has grown exponentially. Should Web3 fail to deliver on its promises, the waste would be massive. In addition, with such fast-growing phenomena, things happen before we can notice, far less prevent them (eg climate change). Read More WE NEED BETTER SENSEMAKING We need to make good choices, in a constructive, intersectional and de-polarizing way. Do we advance Web3 or curb it? How should we allocate our resources? Good sensemaking begins by clarifying and agreeing on what questions to ask and the process of answering them.
