Our Discord got a refresh

In anticipation for our v1 launch, we've been reorganizing our Discord so that it's friendlier for those in our community that are new or learning about web3. We've added an "Intelligence" channel for those wanting to take deep dives into certain web3 topics, and structured conversation around the following themed days:

  • "Last week in web3" Mondays

  • DeFi Deep Dive Tuesdays

  • All About DAOs Wednesdays

  • NFT Thursdays

  • Metaverse/GameFi/Product Update Fridays

We've also created a "Training" channel where beginners can find their footing and connect with others also interested in exploring web3, and a "Workshop" channel for those looking for feedback on their submissions-in-progress. 

Lastly, we've added a Spanish-speaking channel, and we're working on translating our blog posts for a Español-speaking audience!

If you have any discord channel suggestions, don't hesitate to reach out to Sarah, or ping us directly in "Feedback".
