Oh, yeah. Yeah, the nature, whatever touches your love, it's your love.
Ooh, I'm shopping around me.
Ooh, you can be calling for me.
I'm in Miami, time was up for summer.
I was with you, but you're free of me before I even knew her name.
La-la-la-la, you feel like a la-la-la, yeah, no. I Yes. you is
is It's true. Oh, yeah. oh
Hey, hello, dear community.
Thank you so much for joining us today.
We're going to talk about the power of the community in Web3.
Let's wait one or two more minutes so the community will join us and we can start thank you so much for your time Thank you. you I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing,
I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing,
I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing,
I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing,
I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing, All right, let's get started.
Welcome, everyone, to today's AMA.
Thank you for your time, for being here with us.
Today, we'll talk about the power of the
community in Web3. Thank you for joining us from all around the world. It's always amazing to see
how Web3 connects people across different countries, cultures, backgrounds. For those who are the first time that listen this kind of AMAs with VARA and the community,
my name is Luis Ramirez. I am the Chef Croo Officer at GEAR Foundation.
GEAR Foundation is the organization dedicated to supporting builders in this decentralized ecosystem,
providing resources, tooling, education, etc.
One of the key initiatives of the Kier Foundation is Vara Network, that is a layer one blockchain
built on top of Substrate.
Maybe it's the first time also that you heard about Substrate.
This is a modular framework to build blockchains.
So Vara is designed with performance and security in mind. One of
the core features that VARA can offer to the developers and the community in general is the
payless and gasless transaction, all to make blockchain development more accessible and
powerful. So yeah, today I'll be guiding this conversation on how community truly
shape the future of Web3. And I want to thank our dear ambassadors from India, China, Africa,
US, Latin for being part of this discussion. They are not only knowledgeable about the topic,
but also active contributors to it. So, let's start a conversation with them um i can see here
crypto bull oh well ladies first of course so uh i can see here uh crypto mania hey how are you
hey gmgm i'm fine. I need to be here.
Can you introduce yourself, please, with the audience?
Yes, please. I'm Vlasilia Cryptomania. I'm a content creator and also a community moderator.
And of course, I'm VARAL ambassador and I'm excited to be here from Africa.
Right.
Yeah.
Very local ambassador.
Thank you so much.
Cryptomania for joining us.
Let's jump also with Marisol.
I can see you here, but as a listener, I'm not sure if my application is not showing the right status,
but if you are a speaker, can you turn your microphone on, please, and present yourself?
Yeah, can you hear me?
Yes, we can hear you.
Well, I'm happy to be here also by Ambassador from Mexico,
focused on community building and education, and happy to share with you today, guys.
Thank you, Marisol. Welcome again to this AMA.
Okay, let's go. I don't see more girls here.
So, sorry. Oh, no, yeah, yeah, sorry. I can see here.
Sharanya. Sharanya from India, right? Hey Sharanya, how are you? Can you present also yourself with the audience?
Hi, hi, NGM everyone. I'm Sharanya, a VARA Network Ambassador from India. I've been actively involved in growing the Web3 communities here and
I'm really excited to share some thoughts on how communities like ours are
shaping the adoption. Thank you Sharanya, welcome. Okay I guess that we don't have
more women speakers here so let's start with the man CryptoBull from Africa can you present
yourself my friend thank you so much Luis good to be here this is CryptoBull from Africa one of the
ambassadors for a very network and I've been in this space for over five years now and I'm so
surprised that it to be part of this discussion because
this topic is very very timely. Good to be here and nice to meet you all. Thank you.
Yeah, I guess we are all excited to be part of this conversation. The Web3 community is
really powerful. Thank you, my friend. Let's go now with Prashant from India.
with Prashant from India.
Guillaume guys, am I audible?
Yes, absolutely.
Hi guys, I am Prashant, a senior ambassador at Vara Network from India.
I have been actively contributing by creating educational content around Web3 and crypto.
And I am really excited to be here today and share my thoughts on today's topic.
Thank you so much, Prashant. Welcome.
And last but not least, Michael from Mexico.
Hey, Michael, how are you doing?
Hi, everyone. Thank you. I'm fine.
I'm from Mexico.
I'm more focused on the technical side of the blockchain space.
I'm happy to share this space with all the ambassadors around the world.
That is a proof of how the variety of the Bara community is.
Thank you. And also technical background is important here.
It's one of the key features of the community.
It's not about only technical, not about only content creators,
but everything helps to build a community.
I don't see more speakers, right?
Or if you are a speaker and I don't see you,
please turn your microphone on and present yourself
because sometimes it's kind of boogie, right? So I don't want to, let's see, yeah, I guess
that we are all in this room as a speaker. Okay, let's start with today's topic. So when we talk about Web3, maybe mostly people around this Web3 think about technology as the center.
But smart contracts, NFT, interoperability, and different other topics related to the technical stuff. It's not everything in the Web3.
Behind every successful project, there's always one element that determines long-term success, the community.
So Web3 communities aren't just followers.
They're builders, contributors, decision makers, etc.
And they help validate new ideas, test products and
spread adoption globally. And perhaps most importantly, they bring a sense of ownership
and purpose. That's rare in traditional digital communities like Web2. So to start, I think
that this is important to draw the line between what we see in Web 2
and what we see in Web 3.
Personally, I come from Web 2 because my background is software engineering.
I was developer the last, well, I still develop, but not like full time, like at the initial.
I have 20 years of experience developing applications.
And to be honest, talking about community in the Web2 ecosystem, it was really, really weird.
So I guess that this is a good starting, like how traditional communities behave,
often act as a passive audience, while Web3 communities
can directly shape the protocol and share in the value they help create.
So let's dive into what makes the difference so powerful.
With that in mind, let's jump into the first question.
So let's start with what makes Web3 community different from traditional online communities.
Again, ladies first and let's start with you Marisol.
Sure, thank you Luis. Can you hear me well? Yes.
Okay, so I think what makes a community different, Web3, is that we not only share, you know,
interested or with a traditional community. So we also are a part of the building of this ecosystem.
So I believe we're not just users and we're also part of the governance. We are testing the different products and projects
and also we have the mission, I believe,
of educating other people
so every person can have a real value.
Also, propose, you know, like to...
I forgot... you know like uh to i i
sorry marisol are you still there i cannot hear you now
oh weird i think that we are starting with the problems in this platform. Pretty common. Not good, but it happens. Can you hear me? Can you just send a thumb up? Okay. Yes. So complement what Marisol shared with us about governance, because I guess that this is something important.
If you are part of a Web2 project, those projects are mostly private developments.
They are not open source, mostly all of them.
So governance is not part of their mechanics because if you want to be part of
the decisions you need to be on the board you need to be a director or you need to be
on some specific level at the company if you want to participate and course, they don't know about DAOs and all this kind of Web3 stuff.
So absolutely governance, as you shared, Marisol, it's really important for the Web3 communities
to participate in voting and decisions of the protocol and the projects okay uh maybe uh are you still with us now or
maybe in the next question let's see
okay yeah let's wait for the next question um okay let's jump now with you uh icryptomania so
how do you see this uh the Web3 community differences between traditional online communities and Web3 communities?
All right, so GM, GM, everyone.
So first of all, I think that it's very important that we leave very busy, the base of this discussion, which is, first of all,
having a basic knowledge of what the word Word 3 actually
means, right?
And I think that will help us to dive deeper
and have a better understanding of what we're discussing today.
So Word 3 is, I mean, communities, a group of people
who comes together, for instance, probably share common interests, goals, beliefs, and all of that.
Now, so when we talk about the Web3 community, it means that we have this group of people, right,
who believes probably in the value that the project is offering, who believes in the,
is offering who believes in the probably the product that the community is, is, is the
service that the community or project is offering, right? We're not just using it, right? Just
for instance, we have a lot of applications out there that most of us just probably use
because we need to use it. But in the Web web 3 it's quite different because we have we believe
in what this project is doing we are part of it we're building with it well we are part of the
owners right so it makes it becomes different so uh for instance uh for project that probably
launched their testing it right it is the community who are part of this project, who are building together with it, that actually get to test the, carry out the test net, provide feedback,
and, you know, let you know, okay, this is what we think about this, you know, if it
should improve, what we should improve on, and all of that. So the community in the Web3,
everyone is part of it, and we are building it together. I'm not just using the product that you're building or it's not just about the technology
or the app that you're building.
We are part of it.
We are contributing.
And I think that's one very thing that makes the Web3 community to be different.
Thank you, Cryptomania.
Ownership.
Yeah, absolutely.
Really important. Ownership in the Web3 space. As you said, we are not can share the information, but also we are rewarded or not.
It depends on the protocol. It depends on the project. But you're right. Absolutely. Thank you so much, iCryptomonia.
And let's finish this question with Sharanya. What can you share, Sharanya, about this?
Yeah, I had to say the biggest difference is ownership.
In India, online communities usually gather around interests like gaming, trading or tech
discussions where you just share ideas but in Web3 you actually have a stake in the ecosystem.
Whether it's tokens, governance or building together together people feel more connected because their contribution has
real value that's why i think the web3 communities feel more like families working on a mission
and rather than just chat groups
nice okay you mentioned tokens also and governance which actually we already share more about this
but tokens i guess that this is interesting because uh yeah if you're part of the protocol
also you may have tokens maybe if you want to be part of the governance and the governance is one
topic interesting that in the web tree is evolving
because even though that you can vote if you have a token also depending on the kind of governance
you are using uh that will be if it's fair enough or not to for the community because sometimes if
you have a lot of tokens you can vote and your voice is bigger compared with others with less tokens.
So different other kind of conversation here.
But also it's important, unless you have the opportunity to be part of this, you have tokens, you can have more tokens.
Maybe you don't have enough money to get enough tokens but it depends like different kind of governance systems
creates different ways to participate so it's a good idea to understand first if you want
to participate what are the rules and how it works and after you can be part of this through
the governance absolutely thank you so much.
And, well, I think that one of the most fascinating aspects of Web3
is how global it is from day one.
Unlike traditional industries that usually begin in a single country,
for example, if you're building a product,
you usually focus only in one country.
That's good, of course, locally course locally built locally but think globally or a
region when you built in a country or region before expanding abroad that's really really normal in
traditional industries web3 projects are kind of a little bit different because because web3
projects are borderless by design communities form
simultaneously across continents from asia to africa from europe to america's this global
nature is driven by open source technology this is also a key component in the blockchain
not all the projects are open source it means like you can check the code if you are developer
or you can ask to a friend developer that you can,
maybe you know a developer and you can ask to check the code.
This is possible because it's open source, okay?
This is a part of the nature of the Web3 space.
Decentralized governance, for example,
also you can be part of this, and the ability to participate in this kind.
So the next question is about whether the Web3 communities
overcome cultural and regional differences to collaborate effectively.
Let's start with you, CryptoBull. What do you think?
Well, thank you so much. Nice to be here.
That's a really good question.
You know one thing, the strength of Web3 is that it's borderless, like what you said,
borderless by design.
Both cultural and regional caps are actually real.
We know that. So the key to overcoming them lies in
shared values, decentralized coordination, and even a local empowerment.
Shared mission in the way that you know for example when a project vision is
clear, like what Ethereum did, we call it world computer or file coins, open storage layer,
people from different backgrounds rally around the same mission, regardless of language or culture.
And I think another thing is considering the local ops and ambassadors.
You know, Global Web 3 projects succeed by empowering a general uh
leaders who understand local culture uh for example a polygon built what we call ambassadors
across asia even africa and europe uh what did what were they doing they were trying to
tellering education and event to each region region while still feeding into the global mission.
Another thing is talking about the translation and accessibility.
Accessibility really breaks silos like what BNB chain multilingual documentation and local community
channels show. This will show how translation and cultural sensitivity keeps contributors aligned without
excluding anyone.
And also considering decentralized tools for coordination.
You know, a platform like Discord and Snapshot, even DAOs, allow contributors worldwide to
propose and even debate and vote asynchronously. This actually removes the need for one time zone
and one language, making the collaboration very, very inclusive. So I will say that the bottom line
lies in the global Web3 communities. It's really tried when they set one mission and empower local
champions and even leverage decentralized tools to make a declaration fluid
and not actually force yeah thank you thank you cryptoball and you mentioned some projects and
some protocols that it's interesting to me that you mentioned different countries and regions
also because for example you mentioned filecoin. Filecoin is an interesting
peer-to-peer file storage system based on IPFS.
And both systems were created by Juan Bennett.
I really like to mention this because Juan Bennett was born in Mexico.
He lives in the US now, but it's a Mexican guy that
creates this IPFS and Filecoin, for example. But also you mentioned Polygon. And I remember when
I was at the hackathon in India, the people there in India was like, I want to build the next polygon. So it's also about culture. And for example, you also mentioned
BNB. And when we talk about BNB, we talk about Champeng-Xiaux and we talk about China, right?
And so it's really interesting that just talking about projects, we talk about also regions. And
this is really, really powerful. Not something that we can see in traditional spaces,
like not only the leaders of the projects,
but also the community participate in this.
Thank you, Cryptobull.
And let's jump with Rashant.
I think cultural and regional difference are always going to exist.
But I see them more as an advantage than a challenge.
Every region brings its own flavor and creativity and problem-solving style on the table.
The key is to respect local context while keeping everyone aligned with a bigger vision
of decentralization. For example, like regional ambassadors, content in local language makes it very easy for people to join without feeling left out.
Then when those voice connect globally, whether through DAOs or global hackathons or cross-border collaborations,
the diversity actually makes the ecosystem more stronger.
So the key isn't to ignore the cultural difference, but to celebrate them. If every region brings its
own unique approach, the global community becomes richer. Where three collaborations
works when local energy powers the global progress.
Nice. Yeah, absolutely. Local, it's important. And also, like, let me share an example here in Vara,
one of the projects that are building on top of Vara, Gaia Ecotrack.
They are building technology on top of Vara to tokenize the energy, right?
And the technology works for everybody.
This is not related to any specific country, but some specific features, like for example,
selling the energy peer to peer, this is not something that Gaia can do in all the countries
because we need to think about the legal stuff.
So this is also important.
You can build locally and you want to grow globally,
but also you need to keep in mind the different rules,
different constraints that your project may have
in the legal side or different
others. So absolutely it's important to think about what will be the problem you're solving
and if local is enough to start and after how you can expand. Thank you my friend Prashant
and let's finish this question with Michael. What do you think, Michael, about this?
Yeah, sure.
As Crypto Bull mentioned before, Web3 communities are global by default,
bringing significant regional and cultural diversity
and brings diverse profiles.
So each region comes with its own ideas, interests, and above all,
distinct challenges, mainly local problems. Even so, a shared interest in a specific technology
turns remote collaboration into a catalyst that channels those difference into unified movement.
Personally, I'm excited to see new opportunities to travel, connect and collaborate regardless
of location. In practice, the drive to build and solve problems together is breaking geographic
and cultural barriers.
Love it. And it comes to my mind like when I was part of Web2Job, travel around the world, it was not an option. It was just like for tourists. I want to be a tourist and I want to go to Europe maybe and after all back to
Mexico and work full-time. And you just mentioned something interesting, Michael, about like
thinking globally. It's easier here because you think about hackathons, you think about
events, you think about community events, different things.
And also you have opportunities,
right? Like some protocols
can give rewards to the
community and even they
can pay for the travel
the whole trip, sometimes.
Sometimes just the flight, sometimes the hotel,
sometimes everything. But this
is a nice opportunity that we
can find in the web3
landscape uh yeah i cryptomania do you want to say something i saw your hand
yes so i just wanted to say something uh add something a little bit to what we're discussing
so first i think that if um expanding expanding through different regions and cultures,
I think the first thing that we should have in mind is know what works in that region.
You know, know what works in that region, what does not work.
Do a research.
And then from that, you know how to enter into the regions or into the culture without
contradicting the culture of that region, that particular region.
And then I think secondly, having a regional leader in that area that understands the language
of these people, that can communicate with these people.
For instance, it's easier for someone who is in Nigeria, for instance, if you're having in mind to
expand towards the African community and let's say Nigeria as a case study, it's easier for
somebody from Nigeria to communicate projects, visions and products to the people in the
region better than someone from probably Latin America or from other regions.
So a regional leader or someone who understand the language,
who understand the culture from the regions,
can better communicate whatever a community
or a project is building across to these people.
And also education is also very important.
You know, for instance, there are some sort of language
that I can use in communications with people in my regions here,
and they understand it faster than just using the general English.
I don't know if you understand what I'm saying.
So having regional leaders and creating an awareness for education to educate these people about what we are building,
not just penetrating
without the people understanding what you're doing. So having creating, taking into consideration
educations, having regional leaders and having regional leaders that actually communicate,
that actually bridge the gap, it actually makes the work faster and it helps to overcome these rich cultural differences that we might have in regions as long as Webto is concerned.
Thank you for sharing this, E-Cryptomaniya. I 100% agree with you. It's important to understand the use case and communicate properly. So it's not the same to solve remittances problem, for example,
in Latam, India, or other countries that really need this implementation in the Web3 space,
but also different kind of use cases around the world. It depends on the needs and also
the communication. Thank you, Cryptomonia, for this. Also, if we think about global events,
I think that, Michael, you mentioned something like,
for example, participate in hackathons.
Yeah?
We all have seen how hackathons, ambassador programs,
and grassroots movements bring people together.
These initiatives go beyond simple marketing.
They create real opportunities for collaboration, learning, innovation, etc.
So Hackathon solves developers to test ideas quickly and connect with like-minded builders.
But we need to talk also about Ambassador Programs.
It's really important.
Ambassador Programs empower, passionate community members like you guys
to become local leaders, spreading knowledge,
organizing events in your own regions.
So this grassroots movement show how powerful
bottom up initiatives can be, mobilizing thousands of people around
and share mission and vision.
Thank you so much, ambassadors.
Thank you so much, community.
Without you, a protocol, it's nothing.
It's not about only technology.
It's about technology plus community.
So let's jump to the last question.
And now here all of you guys can participate.
But again, we'll start with
ladies what role do community driven initiatives play in mainstream web3 adoption
and let's start with you marisol let's try your microphone again great louise can you hear me well
i didn't know if you hear me with the first question.
Yeah, yeah, I can hear you now and I guess that
we heard the more important
thing about your answer.
So, yeah, we can focus now
but if you want to add
something else, please go ahead.
It's okay, thank you.
So, yeah, about
your question and
community initiatives I think are the real engine of adoption here.
So yeah, people don't get into Web3 just by reading white papers or information about protocol or projects.
I think they join because, you know, someone explained how to do staking to them
or how to run a node, how to do a swap.
So they invited them to a workshop online, IRL,
or show them how to, you know, open their first wallet.
So, yeah, I think communities turn complex tech sometimes
for a human experience.
But when people see local and also relatable use cases
like you know and having some saving in stable coins or maybe you can you know well it's not
yet common here but there are some um establishments that you know some stores that
they already accept a crypto payments so, if you are interested in governance,
you can just join a DAO and even funding a social project.
There are, like, many protocols or projects that have these options.
So I think that's when Web3 really clicks and this adoption accelerates.
Nice.
And now that you talk about tokenomics and everything,
like the white paper,
now it's a good moment to read white papers using AI.
I remember like years ago before CatGPT and DeepSeek, Cloud, etc.
Everybody in the community was sharing about like, hey, if you want to understand a protocol, you need to read the white paper.
But white paper is a lot of information about technical stuff, mathematical, social psychology,
etc., a lot of information. So reading a white paper is not as easy as it sounds.
If you want to understand everything, for sure.
But now with AI, you can just pass the URL and say,
like, explain to me this white paper and 50 words.
And you can learn more and more about the protocol.
Something really important.
Thank you, Marisol, for sharing this.
So let's continue with Sharanya.
Yes, I think community-driven initiatives are the starting point for most people.
Someone might attend a workshop, join a meet,
or just see a Twitter thread from the community.
And that's how get curious about Web3.
People trust communities more than ads.
And I think in my view, communities act as the bridge
that makes Web3 less intimidating
and more relatable for the newcomers. Also, community-driven
initiatives are honestly the heart of web3 adoption. Most people don't get on-boarded through
official marketing campaigns. They join because maybe like a friend invited them to a workshop
or they saw a simple educational wheel. And in India, this grassroots approach
is very important. People here trust peer-to-peer learning far more than corporate ads. A student
is more likely to try out a wallet if another student shows them in a session or if they see
a relatable Twitter thread in their own language and i think
that's the magic of community thank you for sharing this perspective uh from india it's really
interesting i like this kind of conversations because sometimes we have an idea how it's working
in latam in europe Asia, but it's really
important to receive this feedback because we can think different, not only locally,
but also about how other regions are interacting with communities and all their initiatives.
Thank you, Sharanya. Let's continue with you Kryptomonia all right thank you all right so I I think I'm going to share this from from my experience
from the bridges that I've built with in the past, quite a lot of them, I just discovered somehow that Trigid who prioritizes
community actually does better than those that don't.
I think because like she mentioned just now,
it is very easy for somebody to just join the community
and fall in love with the community
and be active in the community why
because someone who i trust refer me to the community right so for instance let's say you
have about 30 community and you want to run a campaign right you can run a campaign but the
result you're going to get is not going to be as much as effective i'm talking from experience now
as when a community member actively
does this on their own let's think have about 30 community who actually believes uh what this
project is building right probably because of the transparency probably because the big this
is there's transparency here is fair you know i'm sure of what this project is offering so
because i'm convinced these 30 people uh probably
just go out on their own and probably just talk to friends it is easier um before you know what
if this 30 community members speak to another 30 which one person can even goes beyond that for
people who has larger community and even more friends so if by the time you know
it's 30 people is bringing in 30 people into the community not just people who are just
to who are joining the community lost or people that don't know they're left from the right
but they understand it why because their friends who is referring them to the community had actually
explained everything to them. So I think
community or project who prioritizes community goes faster and also in terms of long run,
they build faster, they grow faster because the community, like we mentioned earlier, ownership,
they come in and they become an owner of the community. They become part of it and they become an owner of the community they become part of it and they are building and they are contributing to towards the success and the growth of of the project so that's i think
that community plays a very vital role and if any project is going to be here in the web 3 space and
is going to be here for a very long time they should start prioritizing the community right
not at the expense of the technology right but knowing that the
community is as important as what you're building yes thank you thank you
crypto money and you said it let's invite 30 friends now and let's grow
the community thank you so much crypto money let's continue with michael let's start with you
yeah in web3 the community is the key actor i remember in a workshop when you start creating a project you have to think in the go to community so it's so important that you have in mind
community so it's so important that you have in mind firstly how your project will be adapted to
your community because your fish users testers and evangelists come from there they drive organic
growth across the ecosystem that's why listen listening to nurturing and serving your community with support bounties, public roadmap, active feedback loops,
is part of product development. Once you gain traction with the community,
network effects make mainstream adoption possible.
Thank you, Michael. GoToCommunity, absolutely. Building a product in Web3 is not thinking about GoToMarket like traditional Web2 projects, but thinking about community first, it will bring better opportunities. Absolutely. Thank you, Michael. Let's continue with you, Cryptable.
a cryptable thank you so much Lewis I would like to say that a community driven initiative often
the bridge cap a bridge between a complex a taken real users because they they don't just spread
awareness what they really do they they translate with free in into culture and that's what the community does they also deals on
education and even utility uh like what i would like to call a grassroots education and onboarding
as well you know a project like uh a ethereum global akathons or even porcar does substrate build
a build that program uh we started by communities, not as a corporation.
They domestify a blockchain for builders and also pulling new developers and as well as
accelerating adoption at scale.
Also talking about the social movement and culture, look at even Do coin and or even Shiba Inu this
started as a memes we all know but a community energy turned them into into
an on runs for millions who bought their first crypto just because the
community made it fun and relatable and even considering the localized initiative committee like like in Africa is
EA and even LATAM are creating with three meetups translation and even crash with ops for example
the cellos a community in Kenya actually drove a mobile payment adoption in areas where banks couldn't reach. And these are the more examples of what community has done
as far as Web3 is concerned.
Even use our own platform.
Communities themselves often become the product drivers,
and that's what they do.
DAOs like MekaDAO and or Ex-Covidance Forum,
they actually give a a users direct influence uh this sense of ownership
really motivates people to really advocate for and even expand the uh adoption so community
driven initiative really accelerate adoption by making a web3 web3 human local and even accessible. So without them, believe me, Web3 will stay stuck
and in the developer's niche.
So with them, it becomes a global movement.
So this is my take on this.
Thank you, CryptoBull.
And you mentioned something maybe not with the word,
but with the definition, like permissionless.
Also, not only the technology, but also the definition, like permissionless. Also, not only the technology, but also the community
should be permissionless that you can participate
and even you can create your own community
like Vara Africa, Vara Nigeria, Vara Spain, Vara, you name it.
You don't need to ask for permission.
If you love the project or if you love the technology and you
want to create a community, it's something that you can do, absolutely. Thank you so much and
let's finish with Prashant. I think community-driven initiatives are not just about onboarding.
I think community-driven initiatives are not just about onboarding.
They actually act as a testing ground for how adoption happens.
Communities are the first to experiment with new ideas,
whether it's about trying a DEF or hosting a demo day.
In India, this experimental culture is super important
because people here often learn by doing, not just by reading some white papers or some articles by the project.
When a community organizes a hackathon, for example, it does not just create awareness, it produces real projects that others can use.
and when someone says a success story or a simple tutorial,
it builds confidence for newcomers who might otherwise feel that Web3 is too technical.
In my opinion, community efforts are a real bridge between innovation and adoption
because they give people the confidence to take their first step into the Web3 space.
Thank you, Prashant.
I do agree with something you just mentioned.
Well, in general, I do agree with you.
I just want to highlight something you just shared about you learn by doing.
And this is something which actually I do agree 100%.
which actually I do agree 100%.
The best way to understand something,
first, you need to learn.
But after, if you do something with this knowledge,
you understand it better.
Like, for example, teaching.
If you want to teach technology,
you need to learn first.
But once you teach, you understand it better.
And this is something really, really important.
Thank you for sharing this, Prashan.
It's really amazing to understand and to hear what you have in mind, guys,
because you are from different regions and you have different experiences.
That's why it's really interesting to share our insights here.
So we are reaching the end of this AMA,
but we are ready for you guys in the audience.
If you want to be part of this conversation, just send a request.
We have some minutes for your questions,
and we can interact with the ambassadors here, and together we can continue with the conversation.
In the meantime, just waiting for you to send the request, guys.
In the meantime, I want to just recap a few key insights here.
Web3 communities are fundamentally different because they create a known value together.
Something really important that we share and we learn here, also diversity is not a challenge
but an opportunity for global collaboration. When we approach with openness and respect,
really, really important is you can participate, but also you need to be respectful.
If you are not moving into this direction, to be honest, better than do it, because you
need to be respected with the community, because the community should be respected also with
you.
Also, community-driven initiatives, as our speakers share shared with us from meetups to ambassador programs
are among the strongest engines of adoption for the entire ecosystem um i can close today's ama
with this information uh but in the meantime maybe we are waiting for somebody else uh guys
Guys, do you want to share something else?
do you want to share something else
You just need to turn your mic on.
Yeah.
I just wanted to add something, basically.
I think that you see this sense of ownership, right?
When people feel, have this sense of this is ours, right?
us, right? This belongs to us, right? The sense of ownership. Once the users, the community
This belongs to us, right?
This sense of ownership.
have this, have that sense of ownership, this belongs to us, they go all out to protect
that, right? Whatever people perceive to be theirs, they protect it, they promote it and
go all out to pour themselves into it. So I think if any community or project is looking for a long
term goal and want to remain in the web space for a very long time, you should build a mind with
community initiative building. You should build a mind with community actually plays a very vital role in achieving that.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah, absolutely.
Community first.
Also, I guess that different speakers here agree with this.
We need to think first in the community and the rest will come in the way. Okay, so I don't have a new speaker, but we still have like two or three minutes.
Marcel, Charania, CryptoBull, Michael, Prashant, do you want to add something else before to finish?
Okay, then we are all set. Thank you to everybody who joined us today and a special thanks to our speakers and contributors. Your voices are what make this conversation meaningful.
