About this event

Are you brimming with ideas about leveraging blockchain, cryptocurrencies, DAOs, and DWeb, but seeking direction to ground these technologies in real-world projects? If your vision for decentralized social change is clear, but the path to realization seems foggy, join Crafting Our Collective Future: Accelerating Makers Town Hall.

This event is not just a gathering; it's a fertile ground for sowing the seeds of innovation and community-driven change.

We are excited to get your feedback on your experience and discuss early thinking about new program features such as Maker Studios and Mentorships, which are designed to create new spaces and interactive features that catalyze our collective growth and impact.

Join us to learn how Maker Studio Sessions can help

  • Fast-track the development of your DApp or DWeb initiative.
  • Refine your DWeb use case and craft a compelling impact story that will attract funders.
  • Create new connections and awareness for your initiative (by being included in) our new database of DWeb Use Cases and examples.

Attend this info session for an opportunity to join our new Maker Studio Sessions.
