Highlights
🌿 Happy Earth Day! If #daosfortheplanet turn you on, keep an eye on Filecoin Green, which aims to transparently keep its own environmental impacts below zero and enable other web3 projects to do the same. #web3goesgreen
🚷 Breaking the boys’ club. Bitcoin Miami hosted the #IRL launch of Bad Bitch Empire, a crypto investing club committed to helping women “build unapologetic worth and wealth in web3” through education and investment opportunities. #whoruntheworld
🧭 Building blockchain better. DAOhaus released a roadmap update, including near-term milestones and an invite to get involved. DAOhaus v3 offers a simpler, modular, customizable experience that facilitates the ultimate vision of “a future where any human community can achieve its collective purpose while reinforcing the full sovereignty of its individual members.”
🎮 No playing games here. Playground Labs announced the launch of Kapital DAO, with $7M in funding already on their scorecard. The mission: to scale web3 gaming by eliminating operational friction while empowering individuals.
💸 Native green. Decent DAO announced a $10 million on-chain funding round. “We didn’t raise from traditional Silicon Valley or New York venture capital funds. We raised from funds that were started and grown in the crypto industry.” Fundraising is definitely easier when you don’t have to explain what web3 is. Kudos.
🫘 No beans about it. Perfectly embodying ‘one step forward, seventeen steps back’ Beanstalk joins a growing list of DeFi projects to suffer a $180M+ hack. Request: would love to read less of what happened, and more of what could have been in place to avoid it.
Let’s hang IRL
🌷 Devconnect Amsterdam continues into next week. Highlights so far included contributions by The DAOist and Schelling Point. Logos DAO share expertise on NFT licensing standards based on creative commons.
